[@anielyantra1]

Smart idea to make a guide! After listening to your cannel for years, I intuitively followed your guide to a T.

[@KwyjiboVanDeKamp]

Thanks for this video and all the work around it!

[@barefootstrength]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for your support 🙏🙏

[@Atomicdelta765]

Hi, just a suggestion, when saying the shoe name, you could write it on the video so we can exactly know which model and make are you referring to.

[@barefootstrength]

Thank you for your feedback. You can find the list we covered, with a summary of their features in the blog: barefootstrength.com/find-my-shoes/shoes/presets/health/flat-feet/

[@hischild8483]

Working in construction at about 10 hours a day, six days a week, and per OSHA must wear steel-toe shoes. Suggestions???

[@barefootstrength]

I believe Carets barefoot shoes has recently developed a certified safety shoe. We are planning on getting our hands on a pair for review and possibly listing them on our site too.

[@hischild8483]

Oh, that would be wonderful! Thank you 😊

[@woodric]

@@hischild8483 Check out the Baak Phoenix

Could you do a video on the best running shoes, my current running shoes are Brooks and im not sure if there bad for my feet

[@paweolszowy772]

Great videos, like always. Would you be able to do one video of how to properly walk in barefoot shoes or totally barefoot?

[@TheValonquar]

I have flat feet and have used barefoot shoes for walking since June. No bad experiences yet although I'm suffering from a knee injury atm but it's likely not related to my choice of shoe. For running I have transitioned to lower stack shoes with varying drops but 5-6mm feels like the perfect amount. High drop shoes with massive stacks which is the industry standard pretty much feel really invasive and awkward.

[@wendyread1183]

Just found your channel. I'm 56 and overweight (but working on that) and wondering if I need support while losing weight to prevent stress fractures.

[@PanagiotisKoursaris]

Thanks for your tips!

[@barefootstrength]

Thanks for your support brother 🙏

[@sascha6841]

They've discontinued the Xero 360, I asked them about it. It was my favorite shoe out of all Xero shoes.

[@barefootstrength]

We reached out to Xero about this. They said that they will continue selling the 360 model in the US for the foreseeable future, but have temporarily discontinued in Europe.

[@sascha6841]

@@barefootstrength Ah that's why. I reached out too, and they didn't mention that it was Europe only (temporarily). Thanks for clarifying that to me!

[@anamorphicalan]

great video, I need more formal wear wide shoes

[@barefootstrength]

[@NEXTLEVELHEALTHwithTim]

I tried going barefoot but ended up getting hurt! I have an odd alignment issue where I have one foot thats flat and one foot that has a nice arch. if you're like me don't go barefoot yet! Would love a specific video on those with my issue! I've been trying to work on it for a long time, but havent had much success. I notice when I squat that the( flat foot side). My heel cant get to to the ground like the other foot. So I have some sort of shortening in my left calf/achilles. Im not sure where thats coming from.

[@mwittner7820]

Love your content. Could you please do a video on Morton's neuroma. I can't be barefoot because of my toe cyst. Would love to know your thoughts. Thanks.

[@OldManYasuo]

which is the best one for flat feet and has barefoot feel?

[@kimlehtinen]

What types of shoes would be good for cycling? I feel the outsole on my xero prio is a bit too soft and flexible.

[@connieo3927]

What is your opinion on Clarks shoes for severe flat feet people?

[@pedruskal]

I wonder how to reconcile this with traumatologists and orthopeadist recommending drop, artificial arch support, stability soles and stiff heel counters in case of flexible flat feet?! They only agree with the wide toe box, but otherwise they tell me that overexercising overpronation will hurt my feet and leg joints. (Besides flexible flat feet, I have Sinus Tarsi Syndrome after an inversion over a year ago.)

[@cyclechick313]

I agree . I need slightly firm shoes with a angled platform . I've been wearing new balance 237

[@pedruskal]

​@@cyclechick313Right. Those are too narrow for me, but the platform shape helps (stability shoes do this more formally). Barefoot promoters say that overpronation is not a problem and natural... but my sinus tarsi syndrome says otherwise, at least in my specific case!

[@atvols777]

I have had flat feet my whole life and have worn zero drop shoes for the last 10 or more years. My calves are still tight and feet still flat as pancakes😂! I still love my altars but do not see a difference sadly

[@theperipateticaccrescent7685]

Hmm interesting... Have you exercised your calves to become flexible or been actively conscious of how your lifestyle on a daily basis affects your feet? I'm not sure, just guessing but Maybe other parts(joints & muscles etc..)of your body might be over compensating so you might see much difference.

[@birdie123]

What else other that zero-drop? Barefoot FTW!

[@barefootstrength]

💯 after 5 years exclusively wearing barefoot shoes, I couldn’t imagine going back to traditional designs. My toes hurt just thinking about it 😅😅

[@prisol]

Hi there. QQ. Ive been wearing barefeet shoes for about a year now. However recently i keep waking up and the soles of my feet are very sore and achy. Im not sure whats causing this, is there anything i can do stop the pain? Tia

[@queenvic83]

U can use Epson salt soak & massage 👍

[@hashimnaushahi]

Quick question... Did you receive my message through the contact form of the website? I purchased your courses and asked you a question through the form. But I didn't receive any confirmation that you received my message.

[@RenatoVargas]

Thank you for making this video, but as someone with a flatter foot all my life, all the shoes you show here kill me from just looking at them. Flatter shoes are just torture devices for me. Stability shoes with a mild drop but with enough cushioning are just a godsend for me, like the Hoka Arahi 7s.

[@cyclechick313]

I don't wear O drop shoes, they're too flat and hurt my lower back, even with orthotics

[@theperipateticaccrescent7685]

Hmm Intriguing... Have you tried to find out why & what part of wearing zero drop is causing your lower back to hurt? Maybe a different lifestyle or posture training or strengthening & stretching will help? Just thinking.... 🤔

[@bloodsweatdesign]

Hi, is all of this still relevant for someone like me who was born completely flat footed and has no arch at all?

[@ralphgeronilla]

Can’t understand the brands of these shoes

[@barefootstrength]

They are a new crop of brands focused on producing barefoot shoes. You can learn more about the qualities of barefoot shoes here: bfs.fit/barefoot-shoes

[@travisn346]

Has anyone tried Flux Footwear?

[@slavasss2189]

[@BonusFiddle]

Shit. Th cheapest was 140us$…I am unemployed. 😢

[@Amy-c9h]

Shoes without bottoms cause bruises to bottom of my feet. No point in wearing "shoes" that are basically the equivalent of going barefoot. You run a big game to make money. Less money into a product and advertise it as purposeful on behalf of the consumer. Not fooling me today besides wasting my time.

[@seattlegrrlie]

You need to 1. change how you're walking and 2. do a transition period I went hiking in aqua socks that are barely shoes. No bruises, no pain. But I've been in barefoot shoes for over 10yrs
