I had been wearing new Skechers for several months and started to have difficulty standing from a chair and getting out of a car. I did a websearch and found a doctor in England who was seeing several patients a week with the same problem from wearing Skechers. Changed shoes and recovered to normal in a week!!!

[@CoreBalance]

Hi Cal, thank you for sharing your experience! It's amazing how the right choice of shoes can make such a difference. We're glad to hear you found a solution and are back to normal. 😊

[@cathygormanson2941]

I'm barefoot at home all the time. I also massage my own feet every day. Be sure to flex my toes up and get into that tendon that goes from the big toe to the heel. Wore high heels in my younger days and still cannot do a squat with my heels on the ground.

[@chaylagood1757]

That makes so much sense because when I wear my Tena shoes to work, my feet hurt sooooo so bad omg, but when I wear my crocs to work, little to no pain. As long as I can sit here and there, I’m totally fine.

[@me-sd1sq]

Excellent video! I'm going barefoot more often.

[@ryanvanwoerkom1886]

Phenomenal video and very reliable information. Dealing with Achilles tendinitis for several months myself from running in “cushy” shoes, the information here led me to switch to a minimalist running shoe and then ultimately to running in Luna Oso Flacos (thin and natural 😁). My feet are stronger, I am pain free, and I can feel the ground.

[@CoreBalance]

Hi Ryan, Thank you for watching this video. I am so glad that I was able to share this information with you, and most importantly that you are feeling relief. That is awesome! Thanks again for your comment.

[@alkkattab]

Thank you for your advice ❤ My lower back pain is increasing after log walk cruze so I try ton's of shoes brand's. Now I start to choose simple shoes with little support of absorb it's really work and I have less pain

[@CoreBalance]

Hi there, Thank you so much for watching this video. It sounds like you are on the right track with this! I am glad you are having less pain- that is wonderful. Thank you for your comment!

[@debbiecolton9386]

Interesting! I've been pretty much barefoot my whole life, and when I turned 60, I developed planterfacitis. My mom too, who is 20 years older. I know an amazing foot doctor, Lori Robinson, Santa Barbara, who fixed both our feet, by just asking us to wear shoes with heals higher than the front. I got both of us shoes and slippers with at least 1-1 1/2" heel drop, and within a week. the platerfacitis was gone. I've given that info to others who also were successful. Robinson says that 60% of people develop the planterfacitis and fallen arches, due to walking on mostly hard, man made surfaces. I change shoes often, and walk barefoot when I can, outdoors. Feet feel great! I'll try the toe spreaders!

[@debbiecolton9386]

Mine was so inflamed, she had me tape up my arches for a week or so st first. No one I've shared the healing with did the taping.

[@teresaibarra7379]

Hello, I live near Santa Barbara. I have a lot of pain in my feet. Can you please give me information about the doctor so I can go?

[@ellenrole4420]

Great content and advice in this video...thank you! Can you please link a pair or two of toe spreaders to help with bunions? Much appreciated!

Started wearing homemade minimalist shoes in 2008, dabbled in a few different shoe designs. Toe spring or rocker sole is necessary for any shoe that doesn't flex at the ball of the foot to support the phase of gait when your knee is ahead of the foot, but your toes are still on the ground. Lack of flex is common in shoes for mostly looks, but also durability, the material wears faster if constantly being bent. Japanese "Geta" act like a rocker sole, but without the thick cushion and arch support of a western rocker sole sneaker. I made mine with "warjari" style ties that allow more normal movement of the big toe than a single thong sandal. It's worth considering as a transitional shoe or recovery shoe when going minimalist. I use them when I have injuries in the toe or arch. Thoughts on rocker soles in general?

Hi sir🙏, Im from India, Bengaluru, As I'm working as a medical representative I have too much of heel pain. Thank you for your information 🙏 it helped me soo much. I will through my shoe right now And will purchase new soft heel shoe. Thank you once again 🙏

[@CoreBalance]

Thank you for the comment and kind words, Harshaa. I hope you find some shoes that help you!

@@CoreBalance Good morning sir, Yes sir, I bought new shoe and I'm using it regularly. Thank you sir for your reply 🙏👍

[@sylvieb5498]

My little right foot toe has broken and since then I cannot walk bare foot anymore. I have customs insoles and you are right after a while they do not do the job anymore :-((. I do not wear high heels - barely did when I was younger. I am always wearing running shoes …

[@torreybaldwin]

I've always loved barefoot shoes (Xeros are my current favorite). I have a question regarding supination and back pain and if it's helpful to use inserts to correct foot position or to purely work on reworking the feet. I supinate, possibly both caused by and contributing to many past ankle sprains, which significantly contributes to my facet joint pain. When I work to correct my supination, my tailbone can drop, and this decreases my facet joint pain and allows me to exercise without exacerbating my symptoms. This is hard to always maintain, however, and I'm plateauing with my level of back pain. Would you recommend inserts that raise the outside of the heel or recommend a different, more "barefoot" method to correct supination?

[@staphth7359]

What do you do if you work long hours in hospital. DEFINITELY CANT GO BAREFEET!

[@dougmartin6717]

Hi Dr. Peebles! Interesting. I've yet to have foot issues, maybe because I've been barefoot whenever at home indoors, and mostly flip-flops otherwise. My question is about long distance running on a hard surface, which seems a little scary without some cushioning. Is barefoot still best when running?

[@ryanpeeblesdpt]

Hey @dougmartin6717 barefoot is probably not best for running with 99.9% of people. You would have to train up to running barefoot to be able to do it without causing more harm than good, which would take a long time. I think the pros of shoes (or sandals) with running far outweigh the potential risks.

[@drb5439]

Thanks for this video I have the same problem my chiropractor told me that one ripe is longer than one other. When I walk I have a lot of pain in my back do you have a solution for that ?

[@ryanpeeblesdpt]

@drb5439 yes we address the specific issues that cause back pain with walking in our course. We have lots of free content on the @corebalance channel and also a free trial for you to experience it.

[@sallyserralles6705]

what if I wear orthoptic inserts because I pronate

[@lmaz7503]

I am not sure this is good advice for a person with EDS. My feet are hypermoble. And I need support!

[@grahfkarate1799]

Our feet are also not made for concrete and pavement. I think a good balance would be something like altras. Zero drop , wide toe box but cushioned.

[@CoreBalance]

Thank you for tuning in, Grahf! I completely agree, concrete and pavement can be very hard on our feet. I appreciate your shoe recommendation! You can also find other great options that Dr. Ryan suggests here: www.amazon.com/shop/corebalancetraining?tag=onamzryanpeeb-20.

[@An-un4ro]

What if you have flat feet? I feel like I would be overpronating

[@hamzajamou5393]

What if someone has pelvic imbalance

[@caseyw9953]

How do we know which inserts to buy?

[@ryanpeeblesdpt]

Hey @caseyw9953 I shared about some inserts that I've used in the follow up to this video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnncna2Da9OkjKc but in general you'll want to test the inserts to feel how they fit your feet. Generally you want to feel "a little" support but very gentle... not pushing up into your arch. Hope that helps!

[@bells9097]

How about investing in barefoot-science insoles?

[@wesley5nipes]

What about people with atypical feet? I have extremely high arches.

I am currently in a plantar fasciitis flare, so I am assuming I should hold off on this method. However, how do you feel about Birkenstocks? I feel like they are pretty minimalist.
