Improves Balance and Stability

Walking barefoot activates the small muscles in your feet and ankles, improving balance and coordination, which can reduce the risk of falls.

Strengthens Foot Muscles

Without the support of shoes, your feet work harder, strengthening muscles, ligaments, and tendons over time.

Better Posture

Being barefoot encourages a more natural posture, promoting better alignment of your spine and reducing pressure on joints.

1. US’ Targeted Drone Strike 

United States’ targeted drone strike at Baghdad International Airport in January 2020 killed IRGC commander Qasem Soleimani. As Iran mourned his death, twin blasts took place in the southern city of Kerman along the road leading to Kerman’s Martyrs' Cemetery, one near the Saheb al-Zaman mosque and the other near Soleimani’s grave. 

Promotes Mental Clarity

Walking barefoot, especially outdoors (aka earthing), can reduce stress and enhance mental clarity by grounding your body with the earth's natural energy.
