Barefoot activities can greatly improve balance and posture and prevent common injuries like shin splints, plantar fasciitis, stress fractures, bursitis, and tendonitis in the Achilles tendon, according to Patrick McKeon, a professor in Ithaca College's School of Health Sciences and Human Performance.
The small, often overlooked muscles in the feet that play a vital but underappreciated role in movement and stability. Their role is similar to that of the core muscles in the abdomen.
"If you say 'core stability,' everyone sucks in their bellybutton," he said. Part of the reason why is about appearance, but it's also because a strong core is associated with good fitness. The comparison between feet and abs is intentional on McKeon's part; he wants people to take the health of their "foot core" just as seriously.

Nope. Just got rebranded. [lunasandals.com] (Danger, Will Robinson! Popups!) Google shows some alternatives.
That being said, it really is the way to go. Perhaps Soylentils would prefer to make theirs from scratch, which is very easy.

It appears that anything graphical and useful on that page is behind scripts.
If they can't find web designers to hire who aren't familiar with the concept of "degrades gracefully", I would say this is not a company with whom I would want to do business.
Using inappropriate technology to do a task does not reassure me of their competence.

Tried disabling CSS (in Firefox: View -> Page Style -> No Style)?

That works.
(I would have sworn I tried that; it's my usual 1st trick.)
