There is a difference between barefoot and a flat sole. A true barefoot shoe will have only have a thin layer between the foot and the ground. A flat sole has cushioning and most likely a slight heel and toe lift, while barefoot shouldn't do any of that. I remember my gymnastics shoes giving me nearly as much freedom as barefoot, but wearing gymnastics shoes outside were preferable due to the surfaces.

I walk like I'm wearing high heels even though I'm not...

As a person who grew up with many a barbies and still has them, there were different feet types. The first is the classic, front facing permanent high heel; that one is the most common and oldest. The second is flat, with a shape that can fit into sneakers and is much more common with modern day Barbie’s because girls began to prefer sneakers because they are more comfortable. The made to move Barbie’s have feet that can change between these two common ones. The plus size dolls also have bigger feet, which becomes very annoying because it’s only a smidge bigger, but it still means their feet won’t fit most shoes. The next is the angled feet, which are bigger and are given to tall Barbie’s. They are the same size as the plus size feet, but just in between the high heel and flat feet hight. The last one I’ve only seen on holiday Barbie’s, but with their stance, their feet placements are asymmetrical with one foot facing the right and the other facing forward. Their shoes are typically pointed on the end and I think their feet are shorter and smaller too? Short Barbie’s may also have smaller feet too, since If I put my shirt Barbie in her sneakers there is a little bit of a rattle with her feet knocking around in the shoe. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

As someone who bought a pair of pink pumps to celebrate the movie and have actually had to wear heels on two different occasions to fix ankle conditions (eventually the conditions revealed a large cyst on my ankle and I got it removed at 16) I honestly don't hate heels as much as I used to. My favorite sport these days is bouldering and wearing heels actually strengthens the muscles which I use for it and I have found that doing squats in heels actually helps with building the needed muscles

TY MatPat and the whole team for bringing this to people's attention! Ive figured half of this out over the years, but OMG I still learned something ❤

I actually had Planter Fasciitis when I was in marching band since I was walking/marching so much without really any insulation for my feet for the shock. It didn’t happen until my senior year but it was so annoying. It was painful too but it wasn’t constant. It just randomly felt like I stepped on something sharp on a certain point/area of my foot (don’t know how to describe where it was). I also know I would also feel light tingling in that same area sometimes when I was sitting down. Went to an orthopedic doctor who told me what I had and told me of some foot stretches I could do to help as well as getting shoes with better arch support and such. Ended up getting new shoes with much better insoles and over all more cushion (best word I can think of to describe it) for marching and it helped a lot. It was interesting because the store we went to actually specialized in running shoes and had this test/equipment that could tell what type of support you needed, how much, etc. or something along those lines just from you walking some on a correlating piece of equipment. It was really cool and helpful.

3:45 matpat saying "meow" is just amazing

If high heels are being described like a really terrible thing wait until Mat Pat ears about pointe shoes! Would actually love an episode on finding the best overal pointe shoe for dancing! (I volunteer to compare them all)

Mat Pat: “some shoes go fully vertical!” Ballet Dancers: * laughs in pointe shoes *

I love how Mat can make a theory about something or someone And I wont be surprised that he’ll make a theory that Why Germany’s WW2’s military uniform is so stylish

I understand the whole “find the shoe for you” thing, but I also think that high heels really aren’t healthy. My dad once had an acquaintance who loved walking around in high heels, and that shortened her Achilles heel pretty much permanently. It was painful to walk in anything else but high heels, and she needed to switch even her sports shoes to high heeled because otherwise, she would’ve been unable to walk.

I feel like we should think of heels as an exersize we wouldn't do squats all day everyday we shouldn't where heels every day all day but doing it somtimes may be healthy

I feel like the heel thing isn't necessarily right either, there are other factors such as if ur foot slides causing ur foot to hurt, if ur toes are properly supported and the height isn't 'solely' on them

Whenever I remember that high heels used to be for riding, it hurts a little inside. I'm not an expert at all, but I've done enough riding to hate the idea of having the stirrup at the arch of your foot. I'm also not an expert with high heels, but my most daring experience with them was when I was going to my parents house for the holidays. I wore some heeled boots (fairly short heels, about 3 to 4 inches, but on the taller side of what I'm used to) because I didn't want to take up the room in my rucksack, and so I walked the 30 mins to the train station, and then the 2 hours to my parents house, and most of that last part was on fairly rough group. It wasn't as difficult on my feet as I expected it would be.

Being a dancer, I've never had a problem wearing heels. Being in the studio all these years helped me out lol I didn't do the test but most of my heels are 3.5-4 inches and I find them comfy. I have a couple shorter pairs for when I want to look nice but not too dressed up, but 3.5 inches is my preferred heel height.

I was told I had flat feet, but my feet are very hypermobile, but I can't wear heels due to my horrible balance, possibly related to the hypermobility. My favourite shoes are honestly tied between three. Crocs (the ones made in Canada back in the day because they're softer), Vibram Fivefingers in a discontinued style that has more of a thick sole (Spyridon MR), and a pair of boots from Xero Shoes. I like having room for my toes, and I find the flatter the shoe, and the wider the toe, the more grip I get.

He’s gonna theorize about everything and no one can stop him.

There’s actually a whole documentary about the origins on Barbie under The Toys That Made Us that goes into way more detail about her origins! It’s really fascinating. Barbie & Ken are both named after the children of the woman who “invented” Barbie.

I love watching this with my fashion historian roomie. She's just nodding along.

I've never worn heels, but my result in that test is 4". I also have super weird feet though. They're flat enough that I wear orthodics in my sneakers to avoid lower back pain, and are of "double wide" width, but my shin bones are also slightly bowed. When relaxed like that, my feet aren't just pointing forward, they curve inwards some as well, so whenever I'm walking it's like I'm pushing my feet outwards. One of the results is that I'm constantly having to remove callouses from the back of the heel where my feet meet the back of the orthodics and the sides of my big toes (which are always a little squished). The size has completely rubbed off of the tags on my sneakers, but I think they're a Mens US 11 4E.

It depends. My sibling and I have naturally chosen to walk on our toes barefooted since we learned to walk and are fine. On another note my mother always yells at us not to do that for our health as she had a friend who refused to wear anything but heels and stayed on her toes even outside of the heels until her Achilles tendon got so tight she COULDN’T stand normal anymore and it hurt her health Edit: I typed that in the first 30 seconds of the video and then had to laugh a few minutes later as he said exactly that 🤣

i find it amazing that Matpat's videos are almost always appropriate for things I'm worrying about. I've recently just discovered (this week) that I have plantar fasciitis so I have to consult a podiatrist but the formula he mentioned could be helpful for me 😭 Most of his trivia's and other knowledge he shares in videos are really helpful for my studies and daily conversations too. This is why I love this channel. Continue creating, theorists!!

As somebody that wears heels a lot on the weekends and even has a pair of “house heels” this was actually really enlightening. I have to do this test now to find out my ideal heel now lol

No movie can escape, not even from The Style Theorists!

If i was Barbie i would honestly choose the heels too. Who wears Birkenstocks now anyways

I had this 7:17 and was told that if I keep wearing flat shoes like vans I would probably not be able to run again and it took about 2 months to heal

As someone with both Chronic Ankle Instability and Plantar Faciitis, I felt this episode

I know it’s not the right channel but day 3 of this film theory idea: if Cinderella’s outfit all disappeared at midnight, why didn’t only one of her shoes?

100 percent would love to see this episode but technically, neither shoe disappears. She leaves one on the palace steps and she keeps the other one

@@SpaceFishy idk, like I said, I'd love to see a theory on this. My best guess is that everything else was made from something( pumpkin to carriage, mice to footmen, etc) but I think the shoes didn't come from anything. I could be wrong about that though( it's been a while since I've seen the film)

Not even Barbie is safe from Matpat😅😂

As a cosplayer dealing with scoliosis and allargic to pain... let me just say that if my cosplay requires heels I always bring padded tennis shoes in the bag. My tolerance is 4 hours on stable and even terrain. Or I get very cranky and bite heads off XD

Love your content keep up the great work

Thank you Theorists for keeping up the important work of making sure I always have enough “um actually”’s to annoy my family with

I did gymnastics as a kid(where you're required to literally be on your toes a lot), and throughout my teen years wore 5 inchers, I trip a lot but haven't once had a sprain or break and can in fact walk sideways over a mostly flat surface. Never would have thought the heels were the reason

My preferred stylish shoes have always been 1-2 inch block heels (not stilettos). They've always felt comfortable and I like how I look in them too. I just did the foot test thing and I came out to 1 inch, so I can say the formula works for me!

Very thankful for this video. I was always told that my flat feet were a problem, but shoes with high arches were always so painful. But my body has always been fine with my flat shoes.

Hell I found out why my feets feels like getting stabbed after school! Thanks matpat and team theorist.

When he started talking about men Wearing high heels i started screaming "YEEEES LETS GO" bc i like when matpat goes to the past to prove a point. Also bc i think men in heels should become normal again Edit:TYSM FOR THE LIKES :3 I'm popular now

yes i definitely think it should become normal again. Also other dumb gender norms like pink being for girls should be removed imo

@@sylvy16I’m assuming it’s a norm because most guys don’t actually wanna wear heels

"Let's say you don't need to understand German to get Lilli's vibe." The vibe is more like "Oh, pretty women, they get away with everything!" Because the German is something like: "Your impatience is unbearable! I've told you for half an hour that I'll be done in a second!" "It's for you. Should I say you're tackling serious problems?" and finally "What I love the most about Christmas is the joy of giving - How I envy men that privilege."

I did the test and measured at around 6 inches, so I went to check my favorite pair of heels that I feel most comfortable in, and surprise surprise they are the exact right height of 3 inches

This explains why my most comfortable shoes are 2 inch heels and not my sandals or sneakers. Now if only I knew what I'm doing that's so destructive to shoes or what's so "powerful" about riding a bike with the heels I was already wearing

Riding a bike in heels is so powerfull is the same reason it was great for horseriding or those cyclists use those lock in shoes. You push on it when the paddle goes forward as well rather than just kicking it. It locks. The side pf the heel also tends to be weak though

As a kid, I used to wear slip on shoes that had rubber heels (wedges? i dunno, the physical heel of the loafer-esque shoe) that were, maybe, an inch and a half thick? It hurt like a beach when I slapped it on my palm, and made a thunderous clap. I used to throw them at the football kids, like a weird, sadistic game.

3:44 Never thought I'd say this but MatPat meowing is absolutely amazing.

I actually started having problems a while ago with wearing flat shoes, it makes my Achilles tendons hurt a lot, so I have to either go with a low heel (5-7 cm usually) or make sure the trainers/flip flops I'm wearing are thicker in the back.

7:25 I had plantar fasciitis from wearing my slip on vans to school every day and to my sports I got so bad I was on crutches anyway now I wear shoes like Nike air max that have lots of support in them

Hey, glad to hear you got your voice back!

I’ll try it out tonight! Thanks!

6:04 It sounds like something that would help me pivot my roundhouse

1:24 "you don't need to understand german to see what's going on" me, a german: the text is extremely mild, like without the pictures you wouldn't guess for a second it could be saucy xD

3:44 when mat said “me-ow” i instantly got flashbacks to the dead apple dub scene where dazai meowed. like they literally said it the same way ong.. could matpat secretly be a bsd fan :0

Yay mats back glad to give head editer Dan a break and gald mats felling better❤

Me and my family are both cosplaying as different characters for the movie, and I’m so happy rn.

Glad you mentioned the origins in men's fashion. I read somewhere about the iconic red soles on high heels also coming from the French court - a sign that you were a royalist, loyal to the king? A few years back I split my Achilles. I never wear high heels because my toes go numb, but someone said it's easier to walk in high heels than flats if you've had an Achilles injury. I tried it and, whereas I didn't feel entirely safe so took them off again, I will admit that I wasn't in as much pain as when I wore flats. Definitely wasn't expecting that.

i have feet problems and low to mid heels are the best footwear for me, thank you for spreading the truth!!

Here I was waiting for part 2 of that soap video 😭😭😭 I haven't felt clean since. All I ever use is Dove and ughhh

Thank you for the " no spoilers" warning. Might have been a couple of years before I actually watch this
