Minimalist shoes make your feet stronger! 🦶 According to this systematic review by Xu et al., they increase foot intrinsic muscles' strength by as much as 58%. They also increase their size between 10-16%. Xu et al. 2022. doi: 10.1055/a-1908-8867.

Shoe transitions: How long should it take? We recommend a one-month gradual transition for every 10-20% difference on the Minimalist Index! For example: If you want to switch from a 70% MI shoe to a 20% MI shoe, that should take you 2.5-5 months to completely switch over.
