How to Tell if You Need to Throw Away Your Shoes (including barefoot or minimalist shoes)

[@theesilverghost]

This is really interesting! I transitioned to barefoot style shoes several years ago, and I have to test them! I will say that I tend to see the wear on the tread, so I know that the shoe is ready to be trashed or recycled.

That’s a good way as well, but a little trickier on some barefoot shoes depending on the sole material

Hi 👋 good video. i now know if i need to throw away my shoes. I have a question about this topic, ¿if the soles are starting to fall apart, it is a good sign that i need to throw away those shoes as well? ¿Like just a little sole separation?

[@Ariele.Foster]

probably. Depends. If they are new and the manufacturer glue is just not well set, then maybe you can repair. If they are older and the sole is separating, yep, that flap alone will change your gait in a negative way.

@@Ariele.Foster thanks now I'm sure about throwing away some shoes or keep another's.

Hi, may i ask why you stopped uploading videos? your videos are amazing you teach with such a gentle and calm voice, you are very informative and a amazing person, i'd like to see more from you! i wish you a beautiful day!

Thank you for your kind words! I was doing a LOT up through 2022 - teaching multiple classes a week, then teaching multiple classes a week online, uploading videos to KZbin or going live on KZbin at least once a week. Pre-2020, I was also leading monthly regional workshops and international retreats. All while building my Yoga Anatomy Academy continuing ed offerings and in person and telehealth clinic, Wellilo. So the short answer: sanity is why I have not uploaded videos much recently. That said, I have some interesting videos in the queue that just need to get edited and uploaded.

also: I have an ad-free on demand library of 300+ classes: my.yogaanatomyacademy.com/courses/class-membership This is where I've been uploading more recent classes that I teach :)

I usually toss my old 👟 in the trash 🗑️ when, it’s worn out.

[@Ariele.Foster]

this is the way. wish there were a recycle option!

@@Ariele.Fosterme too. However, I simply toss them, after I checked the heel lining 🕳️ on the back of the 👟.
