MatPat is the only one who can make a whole theory video out of the way someones foot is shaped-

[BennyBringerOfChaos]

Do I wear heels? No. Do I plan to start wearing heels? No. Did I still test my ideal heel hight after watching this? Yes.

[jelanibyrd]

I'm kinda surprised you guys never went over shoe shape and how it affects the feet. The heel might not be the issue but what the shape of the toe of the shoe definitely has an impact on your health.

[claraholt]

As a ballet dancer who does pointe around 4ish times a week for around an hour, this video was hilarious and a little terrifying.

[haltoucey]

Tbh I went into this thinking "What am I gonna learn about this" but then I remembered that I trained for 13 years to stand in my feet like Barbie one purpose without heels... ballet is a hell of a drug

[coolwater]

What's more broken is Barbie made a shortage of pink paint all around the world

[mthernature]

6 and 1/2 inches… I wore a 4 inch heal with an inch lift once and my parents looked at me like I was crazy when I told them it felt comfortable. I’m not crazy it’s just my foot. Thank you matpat

[livtempleton]

My mum was a dancer and spent most of her teens and adult life in high heels. As she got older, she of course thought flats were more sensible… and it caused seriousss pain. Turns out that her Achilles tendons had indeed shortened and tensed over the years.

[TheRectorscale]

With all this in mind, I’m curious to see what you have to say about the “barefoot shoe” movement, which completely ditches the heel to encourage the arches of your feet to support themselves. I’ve noticed that since switching to minimalist shoes, my feet, and arches, have become stronger, not weaker.

But that’s just me

[lucalopez]

I would love a whole episode about the right shoe for you. As someone that hates wearing shoes with a passion and has never gotten one that feels comfortable, it would be an interesting topic.

[ellespoonies]

But, Matt, what if I _do_ want a chronic illness Barbie? That would be true representation for me, after all.

[yaelfreed]

One thing I wished he would talk about in this video is ballet.
The Barbie stand is one of the most common stands, it's a six stand on releve, or demi-point if you have points shoes.
And one of the things that you need to work on the most when learning point is training a strong ankle.

[shesnotallthat]

The movie hasnt even been released and MatPat is already cooking up theories-

[fernandolovesyou]

Birkenstocks are usually made with cork, which do absorb the impact of the foot, and in Birkenstocks especially they have arch support, which make it one of the better sandals to wear. 7:10

[InuMokuba]

Now it's making sense. I've always heard conflicting information, some saying we should go back to when we had no shoes(so shoes like Zero shoes) because the foam and arch support makes our feet weaker, but then like you mentioned the impact of the ground wears down the bottom of our foot. So it's hard to tell which advice to take.

[camillechandler]

As someone with a high arch, I can say that wearing a supportive heel or wedge is more comfortable than wearing vans or converse.

[SweetsAndTreatsCP]

Oh my gosh I never thought the Barbie movie out of all things would have a theory but I mean expect the unexpected from MatPat 😅

[CocoaNut_]

Since, for most of my life I have been called tippy toes and told that it can cause foot problems, this episode is really helpful for me to learn the truth.

[kiwimusic]

9:31 STANK FEET HAS ME HOLLERING AND CRYING THE WAY HE SAYS IT

[GingyPreston]

8:45 perfect matpat out of context clip. Idk how I haven’t seen that in a matpat out of context compilation yet.
