I’m older, I’ve healed nerve issues using zero drop & wide toe box. I’ve tried Lems (Love them best), and a few others that are good. I don’t dress in athletic wear and struggle to find shoes that don’t have weird colours etc. I wish I could find these shoes that suit my taste in clothing style better😂. . I’m a dog walking granny, not an athlete. Not many stores stock these types of shoes & it’s so frustrating( I know, online etc but. I’d like to try more in person).

It's amazing how much our feet can do when we let them do what they're supposed to. Up until last August, I thought my feet were flat and I overpronated and I thought I was destined to rely on orthotics for the rest of my life. Then learning about barefoot shoes and the things I was doing wrong, I learned that I actually have low arches and overpronation is just a bad habit that can be changed. I haven't worn supportive shoes since then. I slowly worked on changing things, let my body tell me when I needed rest, and now I'm doing pretty well. I even worked a 13 hour shift at a furniture store in some Lems shoes without the insole. My feet were sore, but foot soreness is whatever, it's nothing compared to joint pain from bad form. I could still run around no problem with sore feet. I used to come home from work some days and my ankles would hurt so much that I could barely walk. Seriously, do yourself a favour and get educated on foot health and get into some barefoot shoes. It changes more than just your feet, it works it's way up your body and corrects issues caused by comfortable shoes. But I actually think barefoot shoes are comfortable, I could wear them all day, because they're not doing anything to alter what my feet need to do. The ground is what's uncomfortable. Since you can't feel the ground in regular shoes, the pain you experience in them is caused by the shoes.

@MichaelSheaAudio
@MichaelSheaAudio День назад
@@MStar10 Thanks, and there are so many options to choose from that cover different styles, it depends on what you prefer in a shoe. It also depends where you're located as some shoes will be cheaper in different parts of the world. I could name tons of brands, Vivo Barefoot and Xero are the top dogs, but there are other brands like Splay, Lems, Be Lenka, and many more. You can't really go wrong, they're all good. Some people feel that the toebox on Xero shoes and some Vivo shoes aren't wide enough, but I haven't had any issues with the shoes I have from them. Be Lenka and Splay are on the wider side. Splay shoes can also be had fairly cheap as they sell factory rejects on eBay for a discounted price. On the shoes I got from them, the gum sole just had a couple imperfections, but the shoes were otherwise perfect. Be sure to get as much information as you can on the process and how to correct your gait. It's gonna take a lot of time and work, but it is possible. There are tons of videos of people describing their experience transitioning. For me, the issue was that when I stood still, my feet naturally pointed outwards and in both standing and walking, I was placing my weight on the inside of my feet, causing the overpronation. I had to teach myself how to straighten my ankles and put my weight on the outside of my feet. The RU-vid channel Grown and Healthy is run by a personal trainer with flat feet and he goes over this kind of thing in numerous videos. Squat University teaches proper foot and leg form and exercises, the information is out there, and the information is more important than the shoes themselves. Good luck!

At 60 I'm fixing the problems made by a life in conventional shoes and at a desk. Thanks for providing such fantastic resources to understand how to move forward (literally) . Focused exercise has already made a huge difference and I'm now moving to barefoot shoes and feeling the benefits. We've known for a long time that 90% of the food in supermarkets is bad for us and most of the furniture we use is as well . Now it turns out that most footwear in shoe shops is disastrous. What is it about our (Western) society that drives us to institutionalised self harm? Beats me.

I've been an Altra wearer since the Lone Peak 1.0 and the Instinct 1.0. Remember when the early Altra's had the foot outline on the soles of their shoes? My favorite two shoes that I still wear to this day, if I can find them, is the Duo 1.5 and the Lone Peak 4's. That said, any Lone Peak is comfortable. I've worn the Torin, Olympus, and now the Timp models and they all work for me as well. The only Altra does that didn't work for me are the Superior , which is too low profile over the top of my foot, and that one model that has pronation countering properties. I found Altra after I had suffered a hairline fracture of my second metatarsal after running in Asics that had a 30mm drop. Ridiculous! Even though Altra were bought out by a Chinese company they are still great shoes that have provided me more than a decade of pain free everyday use.

I gradually adopted zero drop heel shoes and it's worked out great for me. My wife tried going full-bore with them immediately and ended up with foot pain. Especially if you're older and you've lived a long time with cushioned-heel shoes and narrow-toe boxes, make sure to gradually wean yourself off of them. Your foot needs time to build up the strength it needs to adapt.

If you love minimalist shoes and play basketball or tennis, or need more cushion for cross-training, check them out, they’re really great.

I do a lot of daily walking especially since I stopped driving 2 years ago , and so my footwear became more important to me late in my years , aged 53 peri as a menopausal women , and I wish I had discovered them years ago . My choice of footwear is Merrell Glove running shoe ,of which I discovered I have been wearing a half size too small all these years . I feel they have increased my foot and ankle strength, and I particularly love how they make my walking a more mindful experience due to being able to feel the ground so much more .

I broke some bones in my midfoot about 10 years ago and had been struggling with finding shoes that allow me to walk and run in comfort almost that entire time. Although I had good days, a lot of days I was walking with a visible limp. Physical therapists and podiatrists recommended rocker sole shoes to help my foot break over as well as shoes with heavy cushioning. But they seemed to help little. During COVID, when I didn't go out much and spent most of the time in the house walking around barefoot, I noticed I had no foot pain. I found videos of barefoot, zero drop shoes switched to them and have had no foot pain in the last couple years. GAMECHANGERS! I now wear Lems, Altras, and Whitins and will start to experiment with other brands.

I'll help out with my top 4. -Lems (my personal favorite) -Xero -Vivo Barefoot (a little too narrow for me) -Altra (wide and zero drop but lots of cushion if you need it) Work into zero drop shoes slowly. Some people adjust really quick but others have a hard time. Your tendons, muscles and posture take time to adjust and it affects you from foot to head. Widening your toe splay back out might also require some extra help with spacers like correct toes. Especially with a thin minimalist shoe you can't walk heavy on your heels; it needs to be more of a forefoot strike which is actually really hard to walk with at first. With practice you can find a good balance but you need to get your ankle more involved with walking compared to high cushioned shoes with a heel stack height. With the mid to high cushioned zero drop shoes from Altra and Lems you can heel strike like you would a more typical shoe. Especially with the minimalist shoes jumping into them too quickly can cause foot injuries. Using high support and high cushioned shoes like most of us have for years has made your feet weak and prone to injury. Weak body parts are always prone to being injured easily until you build the necessary strength and adaptations. So take it slow and build that strength over time. I started this a decade ago to fix plantar fasciitis. I was getting more supportive insoles and supportive shoes but noticed it only made my issues worse until I bumped up the support again. I started foot strengthening exercises, switched to Altra shoes when they were more minimalist, and wore correct toes. It took a few years but my plantar fasciitis is gone and hasn't been back since. Honestly the correct toes probably made the single biggest difference but you still need the really wide toebox to wear them inside a shoe. So a wide toebox and correct toes go hand in hand.

And the proof is in the proprioception. I've been running 5mm flat sandals for years and the only injuries I've ever had were from accidentally stomping on the wrong rock and hamstring tightness because I just started stretching...last week. 😄 But no knee pain, hip pain, shin problems, ankle issues, no plantar fascia issues-nothing. Because running nearly barefoot doesn't allow me to run wrong without immediate feedback.

Using a "rucking shoe" with an elevated heel is indeed a mistake. If you're getting achilles pain with a minimalist shoe, it means your achilles tendon is still shortened from years of wearing shoes with an elevated heel. You *have* to take the time necessary to let it stretch out or you're going to be setting yourself up for injury. Do shorter rucks with less weight for a while. Hike without weight, etc etc. Think about it from this perspective. What happens if you put a patient in a brace that limits their joint range of motion to, say, half of the normal, healthy, full ROM? Say... For a year. Can they take off that brace and immediately access their full range of motion again?

I followed Courtney's recommendation and started walking and running in minimalist shoes. I started walking in Vivo's and running in Altras, and apparently I converted too quickly because I now have an awful case of insertional Achilles tendonitis. My personal Dr. and the doctor at the orthopedic clinic said if I go the "barefoot" route, I need to start slow, but even then, if you are a distance runner like myself, running in minimalist shoes is NOT a good idea. Even if you build the muscles in your feet and ankles by wearing minimalist shoes, you still risk injury by running in those shoes. I basically fell for the hype and now have an injury where I never really had an injury running in my Brooks. I'm still going the minimalist route with my everyday shoes though.

Little advice for rucking sec;tion (5:15) on the shoes for rucking or just anytime your carrying or moving stuff. ... It's not about having a little bit of heel height like Doc Attia mentioned. It's the fact that a hiking shoe has real rubber and a decent thickness of that rubber versus eva material. That's why all hiking shoes have real rubber in the sole becaues you're carrying stuff while hiking. So it wasn't the little bit of heel height that is helping Doc. It's the rubber. If you could find rubber soled shoes with zero heel, it would be even better

Yall should also look into Leg Length discrepancy. I went to get an Xray from a chiro and they noticed that one leg was longer. They showed me how it impacted my whole skeletal structure and how all of these other muscles and joints had to compensate. Placing those $10 heel/foot lifts under the shorter leg pretty much resolved this. Now whenever I go barefoot I basically waddle a little because my hips are in proper alignment. Whereas before I didn't even notice. All of my gym lifts now feel safer. I had to re-start from nearly 0 lbs because I had trained the wrong muscles. This was causing a bunch of minor injuries and nuisances. So, in this special case, it's better to have some form of rubber under the feet to help balance. TLDR: A 60 minute Chiropractor Xrays/initial Assessment may save you years of pain. The solution may be as affordable as $10 if the Chiro is offering a promotion in your area.

Aren't meniscus operations rare these days? Mine was treated by PT, but not terribly serious. Check out threads on barefoot running (reddit has several) to learn about shoes might work for you. Just being able to walk in shoes with ankle and knee in alignment is a game changer--as opposed to being thrust forward as is the case in non-zero drop shoes) and having toes forced upward by "toe spring." These jester shoes are the fashion in athletic shoes now.

I recommend the surgery if your surgeon will do it. Most refuse to operate on middle aged folk beyond a meniscectomy (which I don’t recommend). That removes part of the meniscus and I would not want that unless totally necessary. I’ve had mine repaired.

Meniscus operations are very common. I’m lucky to live in Japan where I could insist that they repair it rather than cut it away. Meniscus does not repair by itself or with PT, so often surgery is unavoidable. As for barefoot. It’s a long overdue concept, but the shoes aren’t very good yet. I’ve been wearing vivo as daily shoes five years. The quality is shockingly bad lately. Prices are nuts too. I’ve tried other brands. Still searching. As for sports usage. No way I’d use barefoot. No drop and non taped yes, but barefoot no chance. All that impact on the joints is gonna wear on a middle aged body. I think you have to start from young in order to do that. Any recs welcome though

I started wearing Xero shoes and Bedrock minimalist sandals a year ago. Have literally walked thousands of miles in them over rocks, dirt, turf, concrete, etc. During this past year I also started doing foot strengthening exercises with Blackboard device and bands, barefoot GiBoard and Skill Board, toe spacers, deep foot massage and mobilization... then played soccer with kiddos one morning in my Xero's and now persistent plantar fasciitis for past month....never experienced before in my over 50 years. Have been wearing wide toe box shoes and sandals for decades. (Steve owner of Xero has extremely flat feet , can his arches be rehabilitated?)

When I walked barefoot for many years but had many accidents- cuts and the hot tar in the summer.... ouch . I felt unprotected all the time.

I frequently see the presenter say they're putting links in the show notes to something they're talking about -- in this case, shoes that have a wide toe box ( 3:20 ) -- and most of the time the link isn't there. Like in this video. Why is that? And could you add the link? Thanks.

Probably in the full episode which is behind a paywall now. After some time, not sure how long, I believe it is removed from paywall
