NORBERT PETRASMEET OUR FOUNDER
Thank you for visiting Natural Foot Health and taking the time to read our story. More than a decade ago I started my business as a running coach and slowly transitioned to selling shoes and foot products that I believe work to help people overcome foot problems and related knee, hip and back pain.

My interest in natural foot health began from my own journey with crooked toes, which led me to discover Correct Toes toe spacers and the world of barefoot running. I was inspired by Dr Ray McClanahan, the inventor of Correct Toes, and highly recommend this product to realign the feet. I have used this product for a number of years and am blown away by the difference they have made to my running and the reduction I have had in running-related injuries.
I personally embraced barefoot running because it allows me to be more in tune with my body and my natural running style. This desire to feel more connected led me to explore minimalist and barefoot footwear. After years of research, customer feedback and personal experimenting I now sell what I believe are the best barefoot shoes and natural foot products available in Australia.
I am excited to see that the demand for high-quality footwear that respects the natural foot shape is growing, as more and more people realise the damage being caused by conventional shoes.
If you need more information about any of our products please send me an email and I will be happy to help.
Norbert
AN AUTHENTIC STORE
In 2012, the journey of Natural Foot Health began when Norbert started a running coaching business called eRunCoach.
Passionate about running and the importance of foot health, he soon started selling Correct Toes toe separators, which Norbert successfully used to overcome his own foot problems. The belief in the efficacy of these products inspired Norbert to venture into selling barefoot and minimalist shoes, which gradually led to the growth of an online store catering to a broader audience beyond his running clients. |

As the business evolved and the focus shifted towards promoting natural foot health and alternatives to foot pain, he decided to rebrand from eRuncoach in 2019. The new name, Natural Foot Health, epitomises his mission to help customers restore their foot anatomy, overcome foot pain, and prevent related issues without resorting to surgery, drugs, or expensive orthotics. It represents the dedication to educating people about the significance of wearing shoes that support the natural anatomy and function of the feet.
Today, Natural Foot Health remains a family-run business, deeply committed to providing high-quality footwear and foot products that allow feet to function in the way nature intended. Natural Foot Health continues to be the largest seller of Correct Toes in Australia with a select range of toe socks and footwear suitable for all activities and occasions. We have offered different brands over the years, but our current range are what we believe to be the world's best minimalist shoes. Our range all compliment each other to provide the best results for your feet.
