James Bond vs Thomas Shelby Walking Style-Top 10 Tips

[@petezm]

Bond wins easily!

[@ToddMartinMD]

Agreed

[@Sasbie65]

This video was fun, thank you. Can you talk about the action of the toes while walking? My toes curl or clinch. I noticed that yours, and I've seen other people's, point upward as the front foot comes forward. Is this what toes are supposed to do?

[@ToddMartinMD]

I am glad you enjoyed it. You really shouldn’t think too much about your toes since they are just following the rest of your body. I do know mine sometimes point up at a certain point of the step. I will consider a video on it.

[@seancidy6008]

This really gets the message across by grabbing the attention and not letting go.

[@ToddMartinMD]

Thank you very much. I am glad you think so.

[@DominusNovemus]

What do you think of Brad Pitt's walking technique? Thanks!

[@ToddMartinMD]

I haven’t noticed anything unique about out it. I’ll have to take a look.

[@jacobjericho8667]

What is this a lesson on wallk or a celebrity cat 🐈 walk comparison 😅

[@MilesLambos-ef1nt]

What? These guys ain't even Alphas ,they are Sigma males.

[@ToddMartinMD]

Tips and analysis are the same either way.

Tell me what sigmas would ever work for the government?? James Bond is a delta with alpha characteristics! No true sigma would believe in good vs evil and spend his life chasing “bad guys” when the British government are the bad guys and are strictly evil! It’s embarrassingly ignorant that you think James Bond is a sigma🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

[@Orpilorp]

Hello! I'm new to your channel. I appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge. At 66, I do have posture issues, as I am an avid handicrafter. And, oh no! I walk like a duck! You have inspired and challenged me to do better. Thank you.

[@ToddMartinMD]

Awesome. Welcome to the channel.

[@rejinrajan3184]

I prefer Denzel Washington walking style

[@ToddMartinMD]

Denzel is great.

[@mattd2026]

this is such a fun way to learn proper walking posture

[@ToddMartinMD]

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@SumanKumarMandal-y9e]

Bro you only talk about the walking style but..... The masculine voice, Power, Dominance, Dangerous. Body language is not everything , the inner devil matters. Make a video on these, and let's see who wins😎

[@ToddMartinMD]

Bro, my channel is a bout walking technique.

[@DylG1]

Would love to see a breakdown of Sean Connery. Supposedly he got the job of James Bond because he "walked like a panther"

[@ToddMartinMD]

I’ll have to check him out. I never noticed his walk.

[@raregrimebeats1352]

What are your views on the importance of having wide toe spread? I notice you sometimes wear conventional shoes like vans, is having our shape re-moulded to these commercial shoes not as detrimental as barefoot vegans make out?

[@ToddMartinMD]

Studies do show that most people wear shoes that are too narrow, up to 40 percent of men and something like 60-80 percent of women. I do think having shoes that are fit well is important, but I think the issue is exaggerated. I happen to have very narrow feet, so the Vans are perfect and they have little to no heel rise, which I like. A shoe company that specializes in wide toe box sent me a pair to do a review, and their narrowest pair kept slipping off my feet, so I couldn’t even wear them.

[@mattd2026]

I believe you made Murphy lose because he is Irish!!!

[@ToddMartinMD]

Or it could just be the way he walks

Watching this again with my husband who gets it clearly. Thanks again!

[@ToddMartinMD]

You are very welcome.

Bond is a sexy walk ... Shelby is a bad boy walk

[@ToddMartinMD]

Good take.

[@michiganhay7844]

The surgeons website, referring to the lack of arch support and dress shoes? I believe the necessity, for this is somewhat nuanced, isn’t it? Most of your sneakers that you wear in your videos appear to have a flat, soul, however, some of them look like they are elevated to the rear, such as having the same effect as having a heel what would be the difference?

[@ToddMartinMD]

It is nuanced. But the slight heel rise on my black sneakers in the video is small relative to most all dress shoes, and I actually don’t use those type of shoes any more. Those shots were from a couple years ago. Foot doctors recommend arch support, and that is probably necessary for many people, especially the type of people who end up at a foot surgeon. I don’t personally like or need arch support. The high and hard heel and the pointed toes are what I find worse about men’s dress shoes.

[@ShawnStradamus520]

Nice topic! I love Cillian Murphy’s “Tommy walk”! He was the first actor that I noticed how he walks and consciously wanted to mimic him. It has been very interesting to observe the way one is perceived in public based upon how one carries themselves when they walk. Btw, I have spent my entire professional career serving the biomechanics of people’s feet so that they can successfully walk/run and I think your comments on proper form and footwear are on point! In all my years I have never encountered a doctor who considers these critical aspects of their patients health.

[@ToddMartinMD]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Unfortunately, I don't know any doctors who consider this important either. I have been hoping the channel might peak the curiosity of some doctors to take it seriously. Still waiting.

[@seancidy6008]

This video is very engaging and informative, and shows impressive editing skill. To me Murphy's head down looking up through brows walk with arm swinging across their body is an oft used thespian technique for an actor (or actress) trying to portray being physically capable. I think in real life it would seem like someone pretending to be something they are not (a bad Idea because genuine tough guys will see through such a pretense). Craig's 007 looks much more authentically capable, and he usually has the correct foot alignment even though he has an awful lot of muscle (bodybuilders are often caricatured as duck footed).

[@ToddMartinMD]

Thanks. I am glad you enjoyed it. Good comments. I do think some of the style is just part of character portrayal, especially the looking down. It may make them look more introspective. The duck footedness is usually something more fixed and part of their normal walking technique. The degree to which both of them do it is variable, but I think it made for a nice back drop for a gait discussion.

[@ComeAlongKay]

It seems like attitude is part of the difference somewhat. Structurally differences between genders seem very mild in terms of how they walk if it exists at all. It’s interesting difference between what is structural vs due to clothing vs attitude or culture or learned concepts of how to move.

[@ToddMartinMD]

A lot of the difference is attitude and affectation. Most men and women walk with very little difference assuming they are wearing neutral clothes and basic. Women can accentuate there will sway intentionally be doing certain things when they walk. When the go to the gym i’m sweats, they don’t walk the same.

I can't swing my arms naturally when walking with a backpack, i think my arms are too close

[@ToddMartinMD]

I am not sure how your arms can be closer than right next to your body. You may be walking leaning forward with a backpack. That is a common problem and will affect your arm swing.

[@zhunterbs]

@@ToddMartinMD yeah, it can be true, cause when i walk with a backpack i feel my core stucked, i cant rotate in the right way, the more the backpack is weighted, the more difficult for me 😔

[@ToddMartinMD]

@@zhunterbs You may want to practice with very light backpacks just to get out of the habit you may have developed with heavier ones.

[@zhunterbs]

@@ToddMartinMD i'll try it, i feel the backpack pulling me back, thats why i lean forward

Non of them are Alpha males anyway

[@ToddMartinMD]

maybe not. It’s all in the interpretation.

Both sigma

[@professorxaviour3649]

@@Outlaw4640no James Bond is an alpha male! He follows the rules of his boss m! Sigmas absolutely hate authority and don’t follow orders! True sigmas would never work for the government!

Great job doc

[@vishwasjoshi7548]

Hi Doctor please clarify more on walking shoes which you are using in this video.,this another excellent video on how to walk...

[@ToddMartinMD]

Thanks. I have several different shoes in this video. The colored ones are my Vans, which is what I wear all the time. There are a pair of black shoes that I used to use, which I don’t wear any longer. I think they are Sketchers. The third pair, when I am wearing the long coat, are tango dance shoes.

[@vishwasjoshi7548]

Please clarify more on Vans are those Canvas shoes,because I wear Joma tennis shoes while walking. Can u suggest for walking please

[@ToddMartinMD]

@vishwasjoshi7548 My Vans are my walking shoes, and I love them because there is no heel or added arch, so they don’t alter my gait much. The black canvas shoes in the video I used to wear for work, but I am not a fan of the heel, so I don’t wear them any longer. I think if you have good walking technique, it is best to have as little manipulation in the shoe as possible. I don’t think you need to go with minimalist shoes.
