Minimalist Monday Week 2: Shoe Features that Alter Posture and Natural Gait

[@KK38941]

I've been told for years not to go barefoot. So happy to find your channel. The only shoe I love is a flip flop. Trying to find a muck or farm boot/shoe that isn't leather and waterproof. I have a slogger and I modified the liner by cutting out the toebox. Would love more options as it could be a bit wider. I'm in mud and manure daily.

This is one of our favorite things to help with! We recommend checking out the brand Lems, they have a waterproof boot that may do the trick for you. Also consider browsing Anaya's shoe reviews - she blogs about a variety of shoes for specific work environments.

I learned something new today! I never thought to start lacing shoes farther back to accommodate natural/wider toe spread.

That's great. Thank you. Just tried this with a pair of barefoot shoes that were supposed to allow a lot of toe space but never felt like enough to me. It's made a huge difference and now I can wear those shoes again.

I’m distracted by the beautiful city you are standing in that once was. But actually watching as I am a strong believer in barefoot living. Just recovering from 6 fractures in leg and foot from slipping into a pothole in a parking lot while, yes, wearing shoes all be it very minimal but not barefoot shoes. I’m searching and searching for some support (no pun intended) for not going rigid as I heal. I have found that my experience proves I do better on days I’m not using the boot on my leg and foot. Yet the orthopedic screams otherwise

It seems to me that a sock liner is important if your foot is low volume and you need metatarsal pads to help toe extensors stretch -- that is, while rehabbing your feet. It's really hard to place a metatarsal pad without a liner.

How do you modify the shoes to accommodate correct toes?

Thank you for your knowledge & sharing. Bless you.

The lady asks how do you know if a shoe is too big, the answer was how to know if a shoe is too small.
