Been to 4 podiatrists to get a diagnoses for my chronic ankle spraining and inflamation. Not a one gave insight like this vid. They recommend surgery, braces, inserts, and orthotic shoes. Instead I started wearing barefoot trail runners, and walking around the house in socks. I retired my hiking boots and upped my hiking to 10 miles a week. This vid as well as vids from other 'tube experts has shown me how to understand my ankle problem.

Another amazing video explaining the endless benefits of barefoot exercise, running and barefoot shoes. Been using them for a couple of years now and can’t imagine going back to running in cushioned trainers. Keep up the great videos 👍👌💪👟

Great explanation, love the illustrations, demonstration and comparison of the importance of foot dramatic to have a strong, healthy feet equality to healthy overall body.

This video makes so much sense. For years shoe companies have had the better of us with the range of high heels and thick padded soles. I am starting these foot and ankle strength tips today. Thank you for the excellent content

It's interesting how much these barefoot shoes resemble the English "plimsoll shoe" we used to wear for physical education at school. They had thin flexible soles too.

The best explanation on ankles and exercises ive seen on the internet. Very well explained. I need to find some minimal shoes to practice running in and wearing around more. Will try the other things too. I have seen improvements in my form when i run and more stability and strength. These exercises are so so important for running and sports!

Thank you for this video, I needed to hear this. Going to start doing this.

Been meaning to visit a podiatrist due to chronic foot problems. Luckily I just watched this video, which makes a lot of sense. Gonna try some of the exercises and hopefully be on the way to recovery and fitness again.

Thank you very much! I think you just saved my ability to walk properly again! ❤

Am 68 and have completed day 2 of my 2 week supported squats. So far so good😅😅😅

Consider a future video about metatarsalgia and Morton's neuroma. More often than not, doctors suggest foam pads for the shoes. It's quite controversial. All in all, another excellent video. Thanks for the content. Greetings from Nicosia.

I started wearing Vibram 5 Fingers while lifting - I noticed that squatting actually used my feet more - my foot actually got thicker as my squat weight increased. It really opened my eyes to how much we 'hobble' our feet with shoes.

What about a tailor's bunion? On the pinky-toe side? Some shoes seem great for regular bunions, but only ok for tailor bunions.
(Thanks for your videos! I'm enjoying my Splay shoes because of your suggestions.)

[carpepedes]

very well done. love the pleasant tone and the music and visuals. I’d not heard of the zero-drop show brand that sponsors this video before now. I’ll go check out their like of shoes. Also, the guy commentating on this vid has such a wonderful speaking voice and handsome bare feet that splay nicely. Thank you!

[TOBYHAWK]

This is the video I've been waiting on! Thanks guys!

[Donpablockb]

Nice video, this problem caused me many leg injuries, can you do a video about knee hyperextension ?

[annejames]

Thank you for this informative video. I’m having trouble with my Achilles tendon on both of my feet they are sunk in and I am concerned . Today I made an appointment for the podiatrist. Hopefully he can enlighten me on what the problem is .

I love the below hip squat exercise, it helps my back.

I will never understand why some shoes have narrow toe boxes. My forefoot is wide from years of training in barefoot, so it is a challenge to find wide runnng shoes.

Hello! Thank you for your videos!
Could you please give some advice on how to fix high arches also?
I do discharge my weight only on the front and on the heel. I have been managing pain with orthopedic insoles. If i do not wear them i get back pain in little time.
Thank you in advance!

I have been made inserts from a mould of me feet as had pain issues on one foot and a damaged tendon. I was told I do not have flat feet but pronation so I have to waer these inserts and not barefoot shoes for while now to see if it helps...what do you think?
