Also, read "Born to Run" for tips on running form. I'm NOT a runner. I've always hated it but when I read that book and actually tried the way that the Tarahumara run, it felt effortless with little impact.

I have problems with my feet. metatarsalgia and a bunion. Right foot Arthritis in big toe. 2 operationy later not much better. Nobody told me to excersise the muscles after my Op. I believe from watching your video excersise help. Why not you excersise other parts of the body. I didn't realise it takes such a long time to get your feet back in shape. Also I wore toe spacers at night but I can't wear them all night yet. Thank you for such an informative video. I wish there were more indept videos like this. Keep up the good work.

This content is brilliantly explained and delivered. I've been searching tirelessly to find what any local physio or kinesiologist couldn't about my ankle and the collapsed arch that causes me pain when I run. It's amazing how little we know about feet biomechanics and yet we start from the ground up on our feet in any sort of physical activity

[morning]

Wow! So much great info. Thank you for putting it all together in such a concise but easily understandable video 😊

Just now seeing this video but I figured this out by myself my feet were really really super pronated to the point where my knees dropped to a position that was roughing 2. 1/2 inches Lower than it should be. This comes from sitting down (weak glutes/ core) so much from school and video games I’m not completely done fixing it but I’m almost there been a month and a half

[atvieglota]

Thank You! glutes and feet work as the team.BRILLIANT.

I really want to believe that what you're saying is a solution and it would be easy if I had the same problems left and right. Unfortunately I have a very flat foot on the left, but totally normal on the right. How would your plan address this asymmetry?

[Melissafoerginermilitary]

Am always constant on my own legs n feet n I'll never stop excersising

[sandra.b]

Thank you so much that's what I'm searching about for about a year and finally I found someone can explain all my questions thank you so much

Im looking for exercises, not to buy products.

[She_it_her]

I was born with flat feet. My podiatrist told me that getting rid of orthotics is like not wearing glasses to try to improve eyesight. But there seems to be an alternative. Strengthen the feet but wear the orthotics when doing other exercises that aren’t foot-specific, like when using the elliptical/bike or at least trying to use them and not use them 50/50.
Thoughts? I’m open to anything

[timguthrie]

Do you have one for oversipination?
Great stuff!

[NicoOrtizDrums]

Great video man. I am started taking running more seriously like 2 minths ago and I am struggling with inner shin splints and found out today that I have a mild pronation for the 1st time in my life hahah and I am 29 years old. Everything makes absolute sense.
How often should we do this foot/lower leg strengthening exercises ?

[charbela.]

when u talked about forefoot running does that also contribute to walking?

[Laotzu.Goldbug]

5:09 doesn't this seem to be the exact opposite? a shoe with a wider and more flared base is less likely to roll and pronate?

[NoirHammer]

The sneakers you recommend do a number on one's knees so I'd rather go with the protection but a wide toe box is still a good option.

[Snaketamer-wy]

I have looked at your recommendations for best shoes for bunions and they're not very good. Crocs are too spongy and aggravate neuromas. The two running shoes either have an elevated sole or a toe box that narrows and bunions tend to ride on the edge of Birkenstocks and they have rigid, structured arches. I have big, knobby bunions and I couldn't wear any of those. It took me three years to get into bare foot shoes and lose my structured arches. It's hard to find bare foot shoes that are wide enough in that area, though.

I have heel pain what video do you have that could help?

[andriipurskyi]

Since birth, I've had a slight deformity in one leg, particularly noticeable in the left hip where there's a valgus, and the left knee displays varus due to two previous instances of a broken tibia. I'm wondering if exercise could be beneficial for my condition?

Have you stumbled upon a decent pair of 0 drop steel toe boots in your work? There doesn't seem to be anything on the market in the UK. Having said I don't think it helps that I'm looking for an EU39 rather than mens sizes.
