Why is it of importance to walk barefoot on a wood floor at home?

When we wear shoes all day long it entails that our feet are missing any used direct contact with the ground, it is essential for our feet to rediscover that connection otherwise it could be lost which is why it is good to spend some time walking barefoot. There is no better way than to make that contact than doing it at home!

When walking barefoot on a hardwood floor it is very different from walking on a ceramic floor, or on other materials as our feet benefit from irregular and naturally temperate surfaces.  By not wearing any shoes or socks on the hardwood flooring our bodies are able to rediscover the pleasure of skin being in touch with wood.

The shape of our feet is naturally prepared and in-built for uneven surfaces; the natural grain of hardwood helps prevents flat feet and stimulates blood flow which is one of the biggest advantages of having a wood floor at home. 

By walking barefoot on hardwood floors at home creates a relaxing experience that involves the skin being able to engage the feelings that comes from the soles of the feet, caressing the floor. It is for this reason that so many people in Scandinavian countries choose hardwood floors for their home, with the addition to the many other functional and aesthetical values.

When autumn begins and winter sets in our homes are naturally colder but with hardwood flooring these conditions are more comfortable and wood is nature’s natural insulator making for a healthy environment. These conditions allow for good blood flow when walking barefoot and could reduce the swelling/bloating of feet and legs.
