Why Moccasins Are Perfect for Trail Walks
Earthing (grounding) refers to the human body being in contact with the surface of the Earth by barefoot exposure outdoors or using special indoor systems connected to the Earth. Previous studies have showed multiple beneficial effects as a result of such contact, including better sleep, normalization of cortisol, reduced inflammation, pain and stress, and better blood flow.
The Science Behind Better Trail Walking:
→ 41% less impact force than hiking boots, protecting your joints and promoting natural alignment
→ Activates 50% more foot muscles than regular shoes (your feet have 33 joints and 100+ muscles - use them!)
→ At just 6-8 oz, they're 75% lighter than typical hiking boots
→ Direct earth contact reduces inflammation markers by 33% through grounding (Journal of Environmental and Public Health, 2012)
