Many consumers are willing to put their feet through a lot of pain in order to express their personal aesthetic, so one footwear brand is designing a wooden shoe that aims to offer the wearer a structured and more natural fit.
The shoes named 'Pebiott Artisanal' were designed to complement the foot's natural state, boasting a design that's inspired by traditional forms of footwear worn by our ancestors. Although a shoe may seem uncomfortable upon first glance, the shoe's wooden soles provide optimal long-term comfort that reinforces the muscles when taking a step. The shoes are complete with an open upper that's made from all-natural materials so one's foot can comfortably breathe, with the added benefit of the exposure to the elements, making one's skin stronger over time.
