Remembering that we are part of nature is the foundation of a healthy life. At Hugs Handcraft, we combine the barefoot experience with the traditional Yemeni shoe to build a deep connection between nature, comfort, and well-being.
Benefits of Barefoot Shoes
Barefoot shoes are specially designed to support the foot’s natural structure. With their thin and flexible soles, they allow closer contact with the ground and do not restrict the foot’s natural movement. This helps:
Strengthen foot muscles,
Improve posture,
Enhance balance and proprioception.
By aligning the body more naturally, barefoot shoes can also help prevent heel spurs, flat feet, and posture-related issues.
Grounding Copper: Connect with the Earth
Some of our barefoot models feature grounding copper embedded in the sole. This naturally conductive material helps the body reconnect with Earth’s negative ions, leading to:
Discharge of static electricity,
Improved sleep quality,
Reduced stress and inflammation,
More balanced energy flow.
Grounding has been scientifically shown to support mental and physical wellness. Our copper detail offers the purest form of reconnection with nature.
Yemeni: Health from Tradition
Since 1967, we’ve crafted Yemeni shoes using five types of natural leather. Their breathable structure prevents fungal growth and unpleasant odors. As we use no synthetic adhesives, our shoes are free from harmful chemicals. Each pair of Yemeni shoes:
Maintains the foot’s natural temperature,
Minimizes perspiration,
Gently hugs the foot without squeezing it.
At Hugs Handcraft, we unite the barefoot philosophy with the ancestral wisdom of Yemeni craftsmanship—offering nature and wellness with every step.
