"I attended the expo to try on new styles and brands in person so I could order in the future knowing my size. The expo had so much more! I ended up discovering new brands, new styles and products to help with foot health. When I managed to get away from shopping for a workshop, it was fantastic with exercises I could take back home."

"It was incredible to see how many attendees were there and to see the power of our collective investment in the vendors. The entire experience was uplifting, educational, and fun."

"When I learned about the Chicago expo, I booked immediately! The atmosphere was vibrant and the workshops and booths were so accessible. It catered to both newcomers and long-time barefoot enthusiasts. Friends on different parts of their barefoot journey came with me, and everyone had a fantastic time. I can’t wait for next year’s event!"

"I’m someone who researches every barefoot brand’s site but hesitates to buy because of sizing uncertainties—mistakes can be costly. This expo was a dream come true! I got to try on nearly every brand present. Now, I know my favorites for fit, quality, and construction, and I have notes to make future purchases easier. Thank you!"

"The expo was an incredible opportunity to explore and learn about a wide variety of barefoot shoe brands, products, and educational tools, while also gaining insights from experts in several informative workshops. Meeting like-minded people and seeing the latest in barefoot living made the experience unforgettable!"
