0:00.0	Conventional shoes of today tend to immobilize our feet.
0:05.0	I work on my feet as much as I work on the rest of my body.
0:08.0	Because at the end of the day, it is what carries us through life, our feet.
0:12.0	It all starts with taking off our shoes and getting more in touch with our feet.
0:17.0	When you ask your body to have it do all these things that it demands, but you've
