How you should walk, train, & shoe shop for optimized foot health: Courtney Conley, D.C.

[@KIRAN.VASASVE]

For everyone reading this, finding the banned book called “the hidden herbs” by anette ray should be your top priority

[@Rachidasister]

I bought my first pair of shoes with almost no drop and a good toe box. I watched my first video from you in less than a week. Thank you!!!

[@michellet1800]

where are the links to the products mentioned???

[@cameronhall4]

Go to her website that she mentions, on the website is a list of shoe brands. She says it right in the video.

[@markyswe]

I´m too tired to search for it, anyone please? I´m usually the one who links time and webpages ffs cmon ;/

[@brookes1911]

Great episode, thank you. Timestamps would be an amazing addition..

[@maebellerechtman7354]

Great episode! Thanks so much! 🙏

[@natalies847]

I don’t see the list of shoe brands recommended? 👟

[@kathyveltri8624]

I can't find it either

[@Imkerei2024]

What about forefoot and heal foot walking?

[@dianehocker4365]

I use Correct Toes from the orthopedic doc in Washington state who invented them He was having exceivelt painful knee issues from running, Cannot remember his name but they are great.

[@lisatweten8231]

Talk to elderly. Talk to previous injured people. Talk to people with joint replacements. I get the wide toe box and a thin sole. But I need ankle support. 😢

[@MsGrannyfrog]

I guess it depends on injury. I am 69 with a metal plate in my fibula, peroneal tendon damage and subsequent strains. PT has done wonders for me in making my feet strong. I also have a high arch with a tendency to suppinate and I hate arch supports and norrow toes and heel lift because I have to fight them to stay balanced. No arch supports no ankle supports. My challenge is finding a shoe to cover my instep. Right now my default around the yard shoe is super cheap water shoes. The best I can do so far zero drop ia Altra escalnates but still a good bit of padding. When I get a wider shoe my heel swims around in the darned thing and it is too wide at the midfoot. Even with the Altras I have to heel lock the shoes when I tie them. The advice given has been very consistent with the physical therapist I am working with.

[@charliebradley1340]

Me too with the cheap water shoes.

[@Ocean.DreaMz]

They have high top shoes with zero drop

[@karenanderson6323]

Where are all the links for her and I went to her website and I do not see SHOE recommendations only for one pair

[@chrisP7776]

I have this shoe and wanted to know if I need to wear my orthotic in this shoe?

[@davidmcclatchey2133]

I have to be in work boots on concrete all day. Anckles cave in when working. Excruciating foot, calves, and knee pain. I recently got custom made orthodics recently and they are also killing me.

[@nikolasb5111]

I'm in so much foot pain. I've tried so many things. I'm desperate 😪

[@gmgshoe7115]

Haven't heard anyone talk about socks. Can't they also restrict toe splay? What about toe socks?

[@karenanderson6323]

Of course sucks can be restrictive just by looser socks. They do make them so tight everything‘s a rabbit hole! I just purchased a pair of socks from Wildling. They’re nice and loose around my feet.

[@livefreeallways]

The floor in my home is tile. What would be best barefoot or in a zero drop shoe? Right now I'm wearing oofos cause they are cushions on my feet.

[@qilung8764]

just want to comment on the flip flops, which we call thongs in Aussie land, i am chinese so we dont lift when wearing flipflops we shuffle when wearing them so the heal always lands first, basically a lazy persons walk.

[@Ocean.DreaMz]

Where are the Dr.s list of items the interviewer @Minbodygreen said he would add.

[@genethedancinmachine5483]

There are no wide toe socks. I cut the top off and fold it over the top of my foot

[@FRANCISJULIEN-z4u]

Courtney, do you recommend grip socks like the hospital socks to walk a the house. I don't want to get an infection waking in contaminated floor tiles without socks. I'm 73 y.o. please answer, you're awesome Courtney 👍

[@1dante777]

What if one leg is slightly longer than the other should I get a lift or just wear barefoot shoes?

[@cameronhall4]

Look into rolfing. You may have a tilted pelvic bone. Rolfers work with the facia, bones and muscles to fix the structure of the body.

[@salmavhbmakkan9915]

Socks - does it matter what you wear before putting on the shoes?

[@cameronhall4]

It shouldn't matter, but personally I've seen a lot of people go barefoot in the shoes.

[@BetterDays_Now]

What shoe brands are good, not those weird toe separator shoes. Walking barefoot over lumpy , uneven ground causes injuries too.

[@bertcow3649]

altra

[@prem9918]

Years ago when soles were made of leather and shoes were flat and earths energy was felt into the body is when all was fine with feet ,,

[@gporter1]

Why are these shoes so darn expensive?!

[@mr_sweez]

I know right, it’s so annoying!

[@ElStrongBear]

Amazon has some decent zero drop and barefoot shoes. I just bought a pair of Airhas for under $40. Just got them in today, but so far so good.

[@gporter1]

Thanks!​@@ElStrongBear

[@Ocean.DreaMz]

Can you walk barefoot in socks? Like toe socks?

[@Flippertel]

Yep, but the socks will not last as long as they could

[@SameAsAnyOtherStranger]

The human foot is beautifully designed? Compared to...? In human evolution, cooking led to relaxed jaw muscles, which led to a larger craniums, which combined with the advantage of being able to survey a larger area from walking upright, walking upright became preferable to accommodate an evolutionarily expedited larger head to place it over top of the spine. This expedition of the evolutionary process has lead to physiological maladaptations like too many foot bones, arms misaligned in the shoulder joints and various spinal maladaptations. That said as a person with duck feet (small heel, wide toes) I spend a lot of time finding well fitting shoes.

[@masudpervez1341]

How should you walk, train, and shop for shoes to optimize foot health, according to Courtney Conley, D.C.?

[@202wcox]

Justin Holliday

[@visco154]

Don’t worry about shoes. Just walk.

[@karenanderson6323]

Well, really just about every pair of shoes. I have hurt me one pair I put on I feel it right in my lower back and another. I feel in different parts of my body. These are regular shoes. I just got my first pair of barefoot and so far it’s amazing. I’m just starting to build up wearing them, I can feel a difference already in my hips and my legs just to beginner right now just walking on pavement

[@clydedrexler5893]

OK, I’ll disregard what the leader in her field just advised for the past hour and I’ll go with whatever you say! 🤡

[@NKUnboxing]

I pray to God that everyone who is reading this gets better and stays healthy. What helped me is using the herbs from the book the hidden herbs by anette ray

[@t3r083]

Where the fuck are the show notes?

[@thebundys08]

I was very disappointed. I have Navicular Arthritis and Plantar Fasciitis and neither were addressed. This advice was contrary to any medical advice I have ever received and seemed harmful for most people (other than elite athletes).

[@laurahayden5000]

Agree, It seems to be aimed at other foot issues. I googled her and found this youtube. It helped me b/c I had PF.. but now I’m dealing with (unbeknowns to me) posterior tibialis. This youtube heled me understand the 2, and gives some exercises for both. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5XPdGh6oJd-j9Esi=MHsBBG_MsQSmqc2X

[@TrustyShoeGuides]

I agree. This advice is dangerous to many foot conditions.

[@nolan_8]

To be fair the advice is given as preventative throughout the video. For those of us with chronic conditions we are in a tough spot because we need to get information from both sides of the aisle to find what works for us. Personally, my doctor mirrored a lot of what Courtney said regarding exercises and treatment of my feet. As she said herself, she increases the foam "stack layer" as needed. I'm curious what info was different from your doctor?

[@TheKurtLyon]

Call and schedule an appointment with her. One YT video can only cover so much. Her advice is pretty sound, generally speaking.

[@dmarti47]

I recommend you watch her interview by Peter Attia. They go more in depth from a clinical perspective, and might be more helpful than this video, which was more like an overview of the topic than anything close to clinical analysis. KZbin search: Peter Attia Courtney Conley

[@tealsea]

It’s hard to listen to her say “shtrengh ” and “shtrong.” And shtrike”.

[@tealsea]

And Shtride. Yes I’m still listening but wondering why she does that

[@bbyng7316]

That's Americans though. They say "ex-sure-size" for "exercise". Go figure? 😮

[@cameronhall4]

Then don't listen. You people are so weirdly picky about shtuff. Wth.
