foot pain is weirder? how about 6 years of pain in the foot. MRI and every neurophysical test done, no issues. Flying colors on everything. Even after re-learning how to walk for 2 years and pain still persists. That is weirder.

Here for this foot revolution. My feet are irreparably screwed up because of narrow shoes and unsupportive sandals and heels. I want the whole society to head towards very wide shoes because we’re so conditioned to think that pointy and narrow is beautiful while it’s ruining our natural ability and design of our feet. We can condition ourselves back to how it was before this pointy toed mess. I literally can’t find one decent office shoe for women in corporate jobs. None of the outfits go with any shoe with a wide toe box
@eloquentsloth60806 ай бұрын
You actually don't want your shoes to be supportive if you want to mimic barefoot walking. Something like a pair of earthrunners is great for your feet but has no support at all. It just lets you spread your toes, which activates your arches.

Backward and forward sleds is the easiest way to incorporate foot strengthening into a workout without having to do separate exercises. It’ll hit everything in the lower body. Go heavy 1.5x body weight , go slow 30-45 seconds each way, go barefoot OR barefoot shoes.
