Hey, it's Jeff and I'm here to talk to you about your feet. So your feet are

biomechanical masterpieces. They're made up of 26 bones, hundreds of muscles and

ligaments and thousands of nerves. So the question is, why are we cramming them into ill-fitting,

cushioned and rigid shoes?

So we're partnering with Vivo Barefoot.

They're a natural health lifestyle B-Corp on a mission to reconnect people to nature and to their natural human potential.

Founded by two cousins, Asher, and Galaad from a long line of cobbler's, Vivo Barefoot has one simple insight at its core. When feet can move as nature intended, your whole body thrives.

Vivo Barefoot footwear is designed to improve stability and balance, enhance natural movement, and provide important sensory feedback.

So they are foot-shaped, enabling toes to splay, which improves balance and provides a stable base of support.

Flexible footwear also allows the muscles and tendons to load and recoil, enabling your feet to get stronger from a natural spring in every step.

Thin sole allows the thousands of nerve endings in each foot to provide the brain with a sensory feedback it needs to move with skill and dexterity. And you can actually

feel the ground beneath you. So your reactions are sharper and you're more coordinated and you

move more efficiently. They're also extremely stylish and they're often a conversation piece

when I go out on the town. So once you've gone barefoot, you won't want to go back.

In fact, Vivo are so sure of it, they will offer a hundred day trial on all orders.

So free your feet and visit Vivo Barefoot.com slash commune today to find a special offer for commune subscribers.

Reclaim your natural potential from the ground up with Vivo Barefoot.
