I have a few zero drop and or minimalist shoes and honestly I have not noticed any clear benefits that one usually see reported by people in comments sections under videos like that.

Might you post your PDF naming brands? I saw it referenced on your interview with Peter Attia.

Hello! Dr. Conley is a member of the Healthy Feet Alliance and we have a list of recommended footwear on our website at www.healthyfeetalliance.org/footwear . Hope that helps!

I run a few times per week. A few years ago I switched from regular running shoes with 8 mm drop and a narrow toe box to Altra running shoes. It felt better immediately. I didn't seem to need a transition period; just switched from one day to the other. My movement felt smoother and easier, my running time improved immediately. I think my old shoes forced my foot to land earlier and farther back towards the heel, thereby stopping my movement. That is at least how it felt when I used my old shoes again for better comparison. Like a break pad on the foot.

Well said!

Excellent info - thank you, Dr. Conley!

Thanks. Great information!!

Impressive & great posture Doc

Thank you Dr Conley. I have plantar fasciitis and have seen two podiatrists. The first recommended Hokas, the second said no way and recommended Adidas Adizero among others. I got the Adidas a month ago and still no noticeable improvement. I don't want to keep wasting money trying to find the right shoe. Are there specific sneakers you recommend for this condition?

Where I can see a list of shoes you recommended ie casual, walking, jogging etc. thank you

I found you through you Dr Attia video a few weeks ago. I have flat feet and a medium developed bunion. I want to know about bunion surgery and a future where I can be active with golf, tennis, running and working out. What should I be wearing for daily shoes as well as running shoes? Where should I go for surgery if necessary?

Found Dr Conley in an interview with Dr AJ Ludlow. I'm trying to fix my plantar fasciitis (or plantar fasciosis). I tried removing my insoles yesterday, and despite my fears it was somewhat less painful than with the insole. Now I'm looking into transitioning into a pair of shoes of the type that you describe here. Excited about the prospect of maybe being able to heal completely this year after one and a half year of PF! Hopefully it can be done. Thanks for the info!

Htp heel seats worked for me, fyi

GM I am looking hi and low for your list of shoes mentioned in ur DRIVE intrvw. With Peter Attia. Do u mind sharing?

After purchasing Hoka shoes I develop plantar fasciitis. I have had severe pain ever since and have a hard time walking. Working on strengthening my feet and stretching calf’s. I’m so depressed and feel helpless

Who knew?! PS I have concerns about materials used also.... as in feet in toxic materials any advice please?

hi. im a drummer and have a prolonged (5 year) stress fracture in my right foot from the bass drum pedal in the second and third metatarsals. i also made it worse by running. is there anything that you can recommend for my feet? i need to be able to play drums for two hours a day. i usually play high intensity rock n roll. its my life. i had switched to barefoot running shoes both for running and drumming and they may have caused problems.

Thank you for your video and great information. I’ve had plantar fasciitis and Hallux rigidus for a few months, went to a podiatrist, he suggested Hokas. I bought the Clifton Hokas and they seem to be the only shoes at the moment that help my feet with both conditions I’m confused on going to zero drop shoe because my big toes do not bend and I think that would be worse for that condition. Any advice you can give me would be appreciated thank you.

Hi, thank you for the comment! We recommend checking out our health professional directory to work with someone who can help you figure out if you've got any movement or potential for movement in your big toe. You can visit www.healthyfeetalliance.org/health-professionals to find someone local to you. Otherwise, we always recommend a shoe with at the very least a foot-shaped toe box, which unfortunately Hokas do not have. We have a variety of styles of natural footwear on our website at www.healthyfeetalliance.org/footwear. Best wishes on your foot health journey!

Learning a lot from this video. I have a high arch and toes that curl. Would these shoes still be good for my type of foot? I've been desperate for a while now. Thankyou!

While we generally recommend natural footwear for low arches, high arches and everything in between, we always recommend working with a health professional, who will be able to guide you along your path to healthy feet. There may be other things like toe spacers that could be helpful for your toes that a professional can help you with. We have a global directory of health professionals who are familiar with natural footwear at www.healthyfeetalliance.org/health-professionals . Hope that helps!

Do you have a more detailed guide about the recommended exercises I can do at home or at the gym for general foot health? Thanks.

Hi! We have some exercises and other foot health tips listed in this blog: www.healthyfeetalliance.org/blog/3-simple-steps-to-regain-your-foot-health . Hope that helps!

You started out explaining the difference between a wide toe box and a wide shoe but switched explaining the extra depth shoes... I have excessive subtalar pronation and I noticed that zero drop shoes same to exacerbate problem. Does that make sense?

Hey, good video the camera set up was a little annoying but nothing crazy. Also, can you break down the different shoes on size and not just focus on like the typical athlete/wonder Dad weekly runner can you do a video live people like over 280 pounds? I understand you still need to book appointments and completely agree that you can only do so much through a video.

Can you address about plantar fasciitis?

I can't wear zero drop I have close to flat arches. I need cushion and arch support or I get bad shin splints.

@healthyfeetalliance6086

Ай бұрын

Sorry to hear you get bad shin splints! Flat feet and shin splints can be a sign of weakness within certain muscles within the feet and ankles, but it doesn't necessarily mean that you're unable to wear zero drop shoes. We recommend working with a professional who can help you figure out what type of footwear would work well for you. We have a health professional directory at www.healthyfeetalliance.org/health-professionals . Best wishes!

Minimalist shoes are great, but if walking on concrete definitely get more cushion.

Absolutely without stack height. You can develop foot problems on concrete and blacktop. Ask me how I know.!

Whilst I believe in the value of barefoot shoes the cost of them for the amount of material is high. In the UK Vivobarefoot seem to be the brand leader and their shoes are ridiculously expensive.

Vivobarefoot is on the more expensive side, but there are brands like Whitin and Splay that are a little more budget-friendly. You can find our shoe list at www.healthyfeetalliance.org/footwear .

All this and no discussion of the irritating and unnecessary arch supports in EVERYTHING. And made of uncompressible material so that when the softer footbeds DO compress there's gradually more resistance forcing that "support" up into the arch. Debilitating and stupid. Even Xero hasn't got that right.

She’s so serious 🧐

Drinking game: take a shot every time she says OK.

Good information. Now learn to edit about 80% of the "oks" from your speech, and they'll only get better.

Good info but please listen to your own video and count how many times you say ‘okay?’ and ‘alright?’

Try not to end every sentence with "OK", okay? It's very distracting, and unnerving especially when as a doctor, your Valley Girl speech is as difficult to follow as a doctors handwriting is to read.😅 If this was an SNL skit, you would be Will Ferrell and Christopher Walken would come out and instead of "More cowbell" he would demand more "Okays" I need more okays.
