I found your channel recently and I'm so glad I did. I've been working on being aware of walking properly and I have to admit that the first day, it definitely felt like I was getting a killer leg work out just by walking outside. I'm wondering what shoes you recommend as far as minimalist shoes go? Right now I am using Allbirds and they are advertised as minimalist but I don't believe they are 100% minimalist. It would be great to know your recommendations. Thank you so much for this info

I started wearing barefoot shoes after I watched this video 1 year ago and it's been good. However about a week ago I have metatarsal pain on my right foot, the dictor says it's because i walk on the concrete floor with minimal bottom of the shoe. He suggest to switch back to cushioned shoes as I live in the city as there are some big shoes with wide toe part like hoka. Now i really dont know if I should keep wearing barefoot shoes. at least in the city😢😢😢

As a teenager I took part in Native American wilderness survival skills workshops, and we were taught to walk from the outer forefoot, roll across to the inner forefoot, then put toes down and last the heel. That is how they were able to stalk animals and get right up close while hunting.

Here is my overdue testimonial to the forefoot strike method of walking, the theory behind which is well presented here. I am in my 70`s and have suffered from "low back pain" for several years. Whilst I have prayed for relief and continue hip-strengthening exercises, I consider the forefoot strike method of walking as taught here an invaluable contribution to my recovery. As recently as last summer, I could not walk a half mile without a break to do stretches to relieve crippling pain. Today I walked 9+ miles without a break! If you have "low back pain," particularly if it is unilateral, once you've tried all the easy approaches without success, try this! Yes, it took me months to master, but think about this: when you go up or down stairs, this is how you already walk! Just use the same basic approach on the straightaway, and you too may be amazed by the results. If I can overcome 70 years of heel-strike ambulation, so can you! God bless this teacher, a meistro of kinesiology.

The wear pattern from my recently retired running shoes matches what you’re saying. This exact spot you’re saying our feet lands is where most of my wear was. Which is why when I got an assessment at my local running shoe store suggested a supported shoe to level out my foot, I said, “I’d rather continue letting my feet do what they do and I’d like to try the shoe without the rigid support”. And that’s what I got. Good to hear this explanation of what I already thought about my natural foot placement, that I wasn’t sure of.

i think it is important to make a distinction between walking and running here. i have been using minimal shoes both for running and for everyday use exclusively now for several years. when running i will land on the outside edge of the forefoot, like you describe in this video. i can force myself to do the same thing when walking as long as i am very conscious about it. but i will naturally fall back into heelstriking as soon as i stop paying attention to how i walk. i have not found this to be problematic or painful however, because the impact forces when walking are of course much smaller than when running.
@nicorivera85353 жыл бұрын
Right, because walking and running are two very different movements. I too have been wearing minimal shoes for years and our foot placements when walking and running are similar. Never had pain. Obviously I am a sample size of one, but that's likewise true for even others who find this forefoot-first walk comfortable. It's all anecdotal (lowest form of evidence). I trust medical textbooks and journals.

The reason you have to think about it is because you have been practicing your walking habits for literally all of your life; your brain is not going to go "OK I guess we just walk like this now" after decades and just do it subconsciously. The problems that heel striking pose are mostly with the Achilles tendons (twisting and stretching/compressing incorrectly) and knees/hips/lower back (absorbing the shock of the step). Just because you don't feel pain when you heel strike doesn't mean it's not taking a toll on your body; you'll probably feel it eventually, but you won't even associate it with your walking style unless you "know".

ive found tons of people educated and employed in the rehab and therapy space talking about striking at the front of the heel, not the back of the heel. This channel is consistently suggesting placing your weight down at the back and outer edge of the forefoot. Somewhere between the back of the forefoot and the front of the hindfoot seems about right to me. The differences between these two areas of the foot is subtle, especially when you consider that there is engagement of both areas regardless. Probably you strike somewhere in this range depending on your posture and muscular engagement, and this is probably because if you strike back of the heel or toes you're engaging only a small portion of the foot. In fact if you let your foot hang limp and try to land your weight just ahead of the heel, the first part of your foot that hits the ground is as described here, but it may not actually do the work of handling your weight as it is fully landed on your foot. I think what we can test for ourselves is that we don't want to strike hard on the back of the heel or the toes.

I've been running in barefoot shoes for a while, but have fallen so in love with them that I recently started wearing them all the time. As with running, I found the pain of heel striking while walking caused my gait and foot strike to automatically change. And what you describe in this video is exactly what my feet do now. They naturally land first on the outside of the forefoot. The inner part of the foot contacts the ground after, seeming to me to absorb much of the force of the body's weight with the foot's arch. What I find most notable is that I fall into this correct form automatically when wearing barefoot/minimalist shoes. I could try to walk/run this way in conventional shoes, but it would be forced and unnatural. I don't think I'm ever going back. Especially since I can run/walk long distances free from the joint pain I experienced using conventional footwear.

this is such great info! I just picked up walking, for the sake of walking, and thought that there must be a more optimized way of doing so. hopped on youtube and found your response to Bob and Brad. You've definitely earned a sub! I'm not in school anymore but I'm dedicating this semester to studying up on your videos. thank you!

Im 38, been out of school for 20 years. I will say this, the older I get the greater my thirst for knowledge becomes. School is almost worthless, educate yourself a little bit every day and you'll be amazed what you can accomplish

Random bit in regards to running like this (I know this was about walking, but still), if you're a trail runner, I find for some reason that forefoot striking is much less prone to tripping and rolled ankles. Even when you do catch a toe it doesn't change your center of balance at all, like it tends to when heel running (not to mention that heel striking downhill on a trail is bad for your heel, knee, and hip, no matter how cushy your soles are haha).

This is by far the best illustration. Thank you so much. I am suffering from a lot of pain because of plantar fasciitis and have just switched to barefoot shoes. I really noticed my heel strike with every step I am taking and yes, it is jarring and painful. I could feel the impact fully and it was not nice. I am determined to learn how to walk again and will keep practicing until it becomes natural!

This is absolutely fantastic. Just subscribed. As a newbie to barefoot shoes, I'm trying to train myself not to heel strike. Stupid cushioned shoes have really messed up my gait over the years.

Haha… it is so shocking and exciting at once to realize that we have learned to walk in an improper way. I have watched one of your other video about how to walk in a proper way then started to apply it yesterday in a relatively crowded area and I found myself watching other people’s way of walking. This is really mind blowing that 99.9% of people are unknowingly doing it in the ordinary way. I was the 0.1% who barely just tried to practice it in your more efficient and healthier way. So, no one walked properly in my region (including me)😁 Even though I couldn’t do perfectly as it is shown in your video, I found the new way a lot more effective and felt it healthier to the joints and muscles. Thanks for the heads up and best regards from Hungary👍

As a teenager I started practicing a form of Kung Fu and we were taught to move like this, from memory for stealth and for feeling the terrain, we had to do moves blind folded on a floor covered in drawing pins for grading, this enabled us to feel the pins before putting a full load on them and puncturing the skin. I can still move like this but it does not feel like a natural walk, but I will practice it some more.

@FriendlyFireYT2 жыл бұрын
Interesting. I learned that when I run I land on the outside of my foot and thought it was a problem. Sometimes I'd make an effort to turn my feet and land more on the balls. Good to know it's actually natural and safe!

So i tried this barefoot it felt great and i felt more activation in my hips and legs. then i tried it with my steeltoe boots and it was all kinds of uncomfortable. I'll get some new footware and i'm sure this'll be much more applicable to me. Great video keep it up

I suffered two lesions and had chronic tibialis pain due to landing my feet wrong ,throughout all my journey to stop being a idle person. We certainly need tutorials on "how to walk", crounch, run and any fundament that 90's-2000's people were bombarded with.

I’m happy to know I walk correctly both in shoes and out of shoes. The only time I land heel first is when I’m wearing shoes with a thicker heel (which I don’t prefer) I like wearing converse and Levi’s because they’re thin and it’s close to barefoot. I prefer barefoot overall, though.
