A few years ago I was suffering near constant pain from bunions on both feet. After researching online I discovered that transitioning to barefoot shoes might help. Right from the moment I started, the pain reduced, and whilst I’m still on my healing journey, I never get that old bunion pain anymore!

The more I read about barefoot shoes, the more I realised we have a huge problem in society. There’s an epidemic of foot problems and as you’ll see in this blog, a lot of evidence to suggest that conventional shoes are contributing to these problems.

As a copywriter with an ergonomics and health background, I wanted to help others get access to this information so they could also be free of pain, and so Kiva Tribe was born!

After watching Lia’s incredible journey over the last few years, I couldn’t help but get excited about barefoot shoes along with her!

Having worked in the fashion & shoe design industry for many years, and with loads of experience in digital design and web development, I realised that we could team up to create a blog supported by a webshop to make this information widely available to everyone.

We hope you can use this site to help yourselves and your loved ones.
