As a foot doctor I look at tennis shoes and tennis shoe technology a bit differently as I focus more on what foot types benefit from these shoes as well as the tennis shoe's functional attributes on the tennis court

What’s up with Zion Williamson?? kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqfQp6Cbe9N-mKc

[@SA-zy7tz]

I know you've mentioned it in past videos but please keep reminding that high tops do not prevent ankle injuries!!! So many people go around saying after every star player injury "why is X player not wearing high tops"

[@TheCsePower]

True. High tops only help with jumping ‘faster’ and nothing else.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Yeah I mena they're certainly good for playing in a crowd and for biofeedback but thats about it

[@robertvelasquez9990]

Zach ,have you thought about reviewing the APL basketball shoes. It would be awesome to see a teardown of those puppies.

[@shreyasharishad9900]

I’m a medicine undergrad from India who plays both tennis and basketball.This channel is just paradise for me!! I find everything I love in one place.We get the best reviews of each shoes and also shoes which can be used for both sports hence saving some bucks. Educational videos such as these are just priceless!!You’re doing an amazing amazing job!!❤️

[@FootDoctorZach]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@cerfewmusic3675]

such a great video，hope you make more of theses types of videos

[@FootDoctorZach]

Im actually doing a whole channel of them- is called The Doctor Zach Show- will be uploading starting around the new year

[@TrollyW0lly]

So I had a similar injury but I sprained my ankle & foot. Now 4 weeks later and I just feel a sharp pain from every time I take a step . Anything ???😂

[@mertsagdic7307]

hi Zach, thanks for the informative video. I am a huge lakers fan and was wondering if this could be a lisfranc injury like the one chet holmgren had. I just dont want davis to be out for the season hopefully he can recover

[@mudiwagova6052]

Hey, this is really help I’ve had some problems with ankles sprains especially since I have severe flat feet, which basketball shoes would you say are the best for some one in my position

[@hoffvandamme5295]

Nice explanation Zach. TMT joint injuries are more common than people think

[@FootDoctorZach]

Thanks- yeah for sure theyre such a silent cause of long term foot issues

[@peterookotai6965]

As aLakers fan I am getting frustrated with the constantly injured Davis. wtf is going?

[@gabrielwinston9426]

Hey Zach have you thought about doing performance reviews for older basketball shoes potentially for some of the major brands signature athletes? Just to see if they stand the test of time like for example the KD 7 or the Kyrie 3 older models in the signature lines

[@FootDoctorZach]

Yep for sure- ive already started with jordans but will be going through most lines eventually

[@yohanestriantorro5303]

No wonder if human being is very advance creations, thanks Doc🙏🙏👍👍

[@kuruptgt]

Weird question. I always hear it's better to break the bone than to tear ligaments. Is there a procedure to "safely" break the bone to heal it faster?

[@FootDoctorZach]

No most of this stuff is freak incidents so once its broken unless its healing in an awkward way or mal-aligned then we just let it go or plate/screw it

[@Dokski1989]

Awesome.

[@dhp5789]

Hello Dr. Zach! Do you have any tips/recommendations on how to treat split nails (still intact but an obvious crack across the toenail) due to toe jamming in tennis shoes? Are there any solutions on avoiding the toe jamming and dark nails as well?

[@FootDoctorZach]

Split left to right is more keeping the nail trimmed back and wearing more padded socks split up and down is usually a defect in the root from trauma and should be looked at my local doc to see if it can be resolved- both can be remedied just need examined to see what’s up

[@dhp5789]

@@FootDoctorZach Thank you so much! Your content is so amazing, I've learned so much and can't stop watching! Take care

[@abrahamdahbour2959]

Hey Zack, I’m thinking about copping trae young 1 outdoors, but after searching the internet I couldn’t find any information about it tread depth, do you happen to know what it is?

[@FootDoctorZach]

I’m putting that together actually ill have it in a few days

[@yomomshouse100]

Hey are footcareexpress' orthotics worth it for a pro basketball player for the money? Or is powerstep othotics good enough in most cases?

[@FootDoctorZach]

Great question - im going to make this into a video- never tried an at home service but its worth looking into

[@joannat6553]

Nice marker flip 3:42

[@FootDoctorZach]

Haha you’re the only one who noticed 🏆

[@dickybirdcch]

Respect your tendons and ligaments too

[@FootDoctorZach]

Haha yep

[@Marko-vp1qq]

Time for davis to wear a hugh cut ang best cushioned shies than Kobe's?

[@FootDoctorZach]

These are more random injuries - not much to do with the shoes
