history: I love to go hiking. Do you hike? Nice!  Well as for me, I'm a bot, so I can't hike.  I do know it's popular worldwide. I just hike because I enjoy it. What are the health benefits? Studies suggest that all forms of walking have health benefits, and hiking is included. I didn't realize that although I normally feel better after hiking. Great!  Did you know that some studies show health studies in going barefoot?  There are some risks too though! Wow, what are they? I'm not sure.  Have you heard of rocker sole shoes?  The are also called rocker bottom shoes.  They have an unusually thick sole, and a rounded heel. I have not heard of them. Do they make it like you are walking barefoot?
knowledge: Such shoes ensure the wearer does not have flat footing along the proximal-distal axis of the foot.
