How are your feet today?

@jrdatz 2 года назад

Had flat feet all my life. Never have pains until I put an orthotic that supposed to "fix" my flat feet or wear a shoe that has even a minimal arch (my tennis shoes for example). The pains I experience are the SAME EXACT pains I would feel as if someone who had arches and have fallen. Orthotics do not work for me at all

@MatthewLum 4 года назад

Bob and Brad forgot to mention you may not need support at all(!) If you have flexible flat foot, wherein the feet are capable of forming an arch but don’t hold one well, most of the time you can correct the issue by building up the appropriate foot muscles and probably learning new movement patterns. Stiff soles, arch support, and narrow toe boxes in modern footwear tends to lead to inactive, atrophied foot muscles which then often leads to collapsed arches-and is also one possible cause of plantar fasciitis. Making a (gradual!) transition to ‘minimal’ footwear can and often does help in restoring muscular foot health but is often not a complete solution by itself. In no other area of physical therapy is permanent external bracing the primary, go-to solution.

@fallblossom5 Год назад

My ankles bones crush into one another and I can feel the pressure. I have flexible feet and flexible flat foot. Not sure I will have to brace my ankles. My arches collapse into the edges of the soles of my shoes and causes discomfort. Not sure if there is a solution. It's getting worse.

@WarpFactor999 3 года назад

I've used the Pinnacle Plus Powerstep full length orthotics and they have helped my horribly fallen arches more than any exercise or custom made inserts. Cheap. Last about 6 -8 months.

@AntwonDaBusiness 3 года назад

I got custom arches when I was younger. I did everything in them and even wore them for my basketball practice and games. It caused me pain for a few months but no where near the pain I experienced before them. Eventually after about 6 months I was able to not wear them and I’ve never experienced planter fasciitis pain like that again. The arch support helps prevent the stretching of muscles and prevents planter fasciitis. I have seen some excellent off the shelf inserts so don’t go custom in today’s market. Tread labs makes a good product

@kyrauniversal 2 года назад

Okay. Thanks for letting me know your story, man. I had a similar experience. Apparently it's genetic in my family, because my mom had both of her arches Rip and Fall, on the same day, while she was 17, at the beach. I think she has been really overwhelmed and overprotective of me because of it. I don't blame her, but I also am tired of the limited amount of Shoe brands I can use.

I have posterior tibialis tendonitis and was referred to a special store that sold motion control shoes and expensive orthotics. The orthotics are worn down and are flat now. I was reading that orthotics act as a crutch and do not allow your feet to get stronger. I try to walk barefoot, stand on one foot for balance and walk on my toes. It has slowly gotten better.

I’ve had 100% success with custom orthotics. Every 5 yrs I change them. I’ve been 50lbs overweight. Until now. Now I have a big bump growing on my fascia and things are getting complicated. Bad ongoing pain, from below big toe, going to the lump on fascia .

@BigBird_714 4 года назад

was that bump due to custom orthotics? ive had mine for a year but been hearing not to due to later complications any info helps thank you

@angiedixon8017 4 года назад

Gabriel Sagrero I could not live without my orthotics! I wear them every time I stand up. They eliminated my Plantar fasciitis pain (for the most part). I do have long periods of inactivity followed by whole days of errands, and that’s why I think the bump came. Even if the orthotics caused the bump, I would not trade them for the world. I used to go to therapy for my calf, Achilles, and plantar fasciitis pain. They would take a metal piece that looked like a shoe horn and pull and press it, extremely hard, from my heel to the ball. I screamed bloody murder! The objective was to remove the bumps from the tendon. The therapist said they were scar tissue. In the last few years, the bumps have re-accumulated. I asked a new therapist recently what to do. His answer was, orthotics. Another problem I have is wide feet. The only shoes I can find have little built in support. There is no cushion, but this is the least painful way for me. If you can find cushiony shoes that fit your orthotics, you should be good to go. I’ve been using orthotics for 8 yrs I’ve told my husband, if there’s ever an emergency, I need three things, my glasses, my night guard and my orthotics. I hope this helps. I have been rolling my foot on a ball and bottle of ice. Also, I use an exercise stick to rub my hips, thighs, and calves. It seems to be helping. I have small bumps on the plantar fascia, but the bigger painful one is getting better.

Motion Control sneakers are amazing. I found the perfect New Balance one and replace the insoles with arch support and cushion. The original insoles of any shoes need to be replaced. They’re always just a flat basic thin cushion. Since then I’ve bought four pairs of the same shoes and other than my house slippers they are the only shoes I own now. Unfortunately, they stopped making the NB insole I loved so I’m searching for something similar. I actually did have to slowly work up to these shoes with high arches and it worked great for me. If you have back pain or any joint problems, I HIGHLY recommend new balance motion control sneakers but shop around and find the insole right for you❤️🤟🏻

my feet are beyond flat, they almost turn upward. Surgery is option given, however, I get best results from my own routines, still no cure, but livable. Can't walk but 30 feet before needing a cane though. Cant afford the brace they want me to have nor the surgery so i am hoping exercises do the trick.

@maximusstorm1215 Год назад

I have the WORST version of this. The insides of my soles are reasonably arched, however, the outsides of my soles are flat. So, when I wear shoes, my feet naturally fall inwards at an angle, and eventually end up pushing the fabric on the shoes inwards, like my feet are gradually pulling the fabric away from the soles, and my shoes always end up misshapen🗿 I swear, it is the _worst._

Can you treat post tib tendonitis without the arch supports? I put in the custom arch supports in and it takes care of 99% of the problem immediately. My foot looks like your nephews.

@suspada Год назад

Flat feet occur because the calcaneus is too small. The solution is to put soft material (i.e. silicon) 1 cm thick the under heel above the insole, then the arch will appear automatically.

About 6 months after I joined the military, I started to have a lot of problems with my feet. My arches are very flat. I went to the doctor and was sent to a very old podiatrist. He told me I had 2 choices. One was to get custom orthotic supports and the other was to do a simple exercise of stand up on my toes 100 times in a row, pausing briefly at the top. So of course I got the expensive supports. A few months went by and my feet still hurt horribly. Then I remembered what the old doctor told me and started to do the exercise. It took just a couple of weeks and I've never used supports since and that was in 1988. Now even my wife exercises her feet and she's stopped having problems too.

There are several suggestions you can try Try a natural remedies for plantar foot. Something as simple as ginger root, which can be found at your drug store, is a great anti-inflammatory. Ginger root is in the class of plants known as Cox inhibitors. This means they help inflammation naturally. Another natural remedy for pain is Bromelain. Bromelain is an enzyme found in pineapples. just drink the raw juice or eat raw pineapple, you can gt advantage from the properties of Bromelain. This is natural healing at its very best.

I have always had naturally flat feet, as do many athletes and people of African descent. If I step in water, my footprints look like Sasquatch’s. There is no dry portion between the ball and the heel where an arch would be. Arch supports hurt like the dickens. So do shoes with a built-in arch like Dr. Scholl’s wooden sandals, Earth shoes, and Birkenstocks. 😣 “Ryan”, in this video, has a high arch compared to mine. A high arch does not mean fewer foot problems. Flatter feet do not predicate foot problems. Arch height often varies according to race. Many people of European descent have very high arches. Many non-whites do not. And for anyone who wants to argue with me that ‘we’re all the same’, no, we are not. Ask a forensic scientist. They can determine a person’s race by their skeleton. 👣

A lot of stretches that incorporate that ballerina foot pose where you exaggerate your arch and point your toes down like the yoga pose where you sit on your ankles is a must and massage on both the top and bottom. I use a roller pin for my foot while exaggerating the arch it hurts like hell when starting when I first done it literally was painful every time I did it for months till one day it didn’t. Also exercises where you are on the tips of your toes like calf raises helps strengthen them I’ve done this for years and found those were the best I still have flat feet but it just doesn’t cramp up or bother me as much anymore my job requires me to be on my feet all day with safety boots could and I play and train semi pro soccer 4 days a week so imagine I have to do this daily or I start having pain in my arches

Arch supports just cause blisters on the soles of my feet. It's hereditary for at least 4 generations. Knees and hips turn in. Prescriptions in orthopedic shoes from two years old to 10 years never helped! In old age I have a bunion as a result. The problem, of course is ankle pronation. If I rotate my ankle I get an arch, my knee straightens out. and my big toe is flexible, but nobody can fix that pronation, even with rigid or semi rigid arch supports. I've tried them all. But I can't walk with the ankle rotated properly. The truth is there is no help for people like me and my family. We just have to find whatever we can wear and deal with flat feet and shoes made for people with arches.

Flat feet have no problem walking barefoot. High-arched people often will have issues. Once you put a cushion underneath the foot, it causes instability in most people (especially flatter feet in the form of overpronation), hence the reason to add stability features. It's the people with high arches that need shoes LOL. I challenge anyone with high arches to run a distance race barefoot against someone who is flat-footed and even one that overpronates. High-arched people most likely wouldn't like it or make it. High arched feet are inefficient when barefoot. This is coming from a flat-footed overpronating forefoot striker LOL!!

Those of us who have truly flat feet know that Ryan does NOT have flat feet. He has low arches. There are people like me who run often and want zero arch support. We want a completely flat, unstructured, cushion shoe that has nothing on the inside. I have a box of orthotics I threw out years ago. I have cut, drilled, scored, and modified all my shoes. I can run ten miles in a shoe with zero arch support and prefer to. You might mention that some of us do better with no support at all, and yet no manufacturer makes a shoe for us. The Altra Escalante is close out of the box but still needs the midsole trimmed down a bit to go perfectly flat.

@@ΒαγγέληςΝτουφεξιάδης It doesn't matter what the name is. Find the solution that's best for you. For me, it's ZERO arch support.

GO BAREFOOT! Buy barefoot shoes, correct toes and socks. Wide toe box thus not losing the big toes alignment. We should put all our weight through the big toe as we push off. No heel, heels were added to hold horse stirrups. Heels cause anterior pelvic tilt. We were not born with our feet bound up.

Bare foot doesn’t really help. Growing up i only ever wore shoes when i went to school, all other times up until i was 22 i was barefoot. I still had bad flat feet, and problems with my knees and hips because of this. This only improved after i started investing in good quality shoes with support.

@zobothehobo 4 года назад

@@valwilliams3834 I have been living a barefoot life for almost 10 years.. I was barefoot as a child a lot too... My feet are flat with no weight and have been since I was a child. My mother's feet are flat, her mother's are flat, and her mother's were bound because they were developing wide and flat. For me, any shoes feel like they're forcing my feet into positions not natural or comfortable. Shoes with arch supports are pushing on my arch in uncomfortable ways and shoes without are holding my foot in flat positions when I walk or use my toes. I have noticed a HUGE difference in my feet barefoot vs not. In fact, when I have to wear shoes more, i notice my feet are always painful and swollen vs when I take them off and it's not that bad. Even standing for work is better without shoes than with. So I guess.... Speak for yourself.

Any arch support hurts my feet. I don't have flat feet, nor high arches, but wear flat & wide shoes. I usually get a men's shoe (which can be hard to find a size 7.5) because they tend to fit better. For years the skater style was the only shoe that was comfortable. Work boots are also tough to find. So many factors impact the fit & availability.

I’ve had flat feet all my life and it’s never given me any issues. Also, I may be on the autism spectrum, and low muscle tone seems to be common with ASD and flat feet are a common symptom. Children with autism sometimes walk around on their tippy toes, could this be a self correcting way to build muscle strength and higher arches? I read a comment on here from someone who was suggested to do this exercise as an alternative treatment. We are quick to discourage and discredit unusual behaviour in this society, but perhaps we are sometimes too quick to demand conformity in our society. Just some thoughts. Btw, I love the Abraham Hicks quote at the start of the video!

I've had flat feet since ever, and still do. they gave me problems, back pain, knee pain. I even had to do surgeries in my knees because I had radial tear in medial meniscus in both knees. and as they pointed, it does rotate the knee to have flat fleet, I notice it whenever I lift my toes, the bone besides the kneecap on the outer side turn to the inside. I have tried custom built arches for years, other than the pain they cause, it was nothing beneficial. However, I am the only one in my family and the people I know who go up the stairs on my toes only, instead of putting all of my foot on the steps. I can't wear formal shoes, not any type of shoes that has a space under the arch. But going the stairs on my toes and running on the outer edge of my feet do really release my pain and I enjoy running up the stairs and the shores like that I'm thankful that no one tried to normalize my stare walking

@redshadow8979 Год назад

I have a curious point I personally have some low arches, which don't affect me usually, but when I searched for information, I noticed that many people would suggest that we wear shoes with arch support (that is, shoes with protrusions on the arch of the insole), saying It can help balance the force on the soles of the feet and relieve fatigue on the soles of the feet. At the same time, I also found that some people think that we should try to avoid shoes with arch support, because arch support will replace or reduce the force of our original muscles, causing muscle degeneration or even atrophy. What I'm curious about is: 1. Which of the above statements is more correct or has more correct parts? 2. If don’t consider the problems of flat feet or high arches that affect your life, for people with normal arches or people with low arches like me but the problem is not serious, should try to choose shoes with arch support or Shoes without arch support?

I've made my own most of my life. Find an off the shelf insert with a rigid support that mostly fits your arch. Build up that support with double stick exterior mounting tape, untill it fits your Arch, and walk on it for a couple days. The foam compresses to like 50% of the starting volume, repeat till it fits perfectly. Wrap insert in layer of athletic cloth tape, and it won't squeak. Clean by spreading Lysol on it. I like the 'sof sol' high arch inserts.
