I tried this while I was overweight I was trying to get into shape and decide to grab a pair to run with. Bad idea. I collapsed my left arch in my foot. I had to wear orthotics for a year and my foot healed up nicely and I don't have to wear orthotics anymore but I always warn people about it because of how painful those first couple of months were for me. Everyone is different of course and I'm sure it was mainly because of me being overweight but still be careful guys.

I went back to cushion shoes & immediately noticed a relief in what felt like my body falling apart.

Also, what’s beneficial for the feet may not be beneficial for the back, and vice versus. A lot of evolutionary traits end up being a trade-off of cost and reward. When humans evolved to walk upright, we gained some advantages at the cost of joint pain the longer we live. Cushioning in our shoes is something we as humans invented to help curb this evolutionary annoyance, but it comes at the cost of weakening our feet.

@KatieCottingham

Жыл бұрын

Please se a physical therapist! Or physiologist depending on where you live. Every PT I've had goes back to the point that we lose core and glute strength, as well as proper adductor strength and control which produces back pain and "weak ankles" due to lack of large muscle support. Every PT I've seen hates barefoot shoes because the research calls the claims quackery and have for over a decade, and their personal experiences as clinicians have shown they do so much more damage than good. Just because we used to walk barefoot in moderate climates, it doesn't mean our bodies were better for it. Cushioned shoes protect joints in ways that barefoot shoes or true barefoot life cannot.

Me who walks barefoot 99% of thr time : 😂

I’ve been in foot shaped shoes for about 6ish years now, but my feet were already too wide before that; for the wider styles of vans, doc martens, etc. I would constantly be stretching the sides of my shoes until the pinky edge of the ball of my foot was hanging off the sole slightly despite them fitting lengthwise. My UGG boots were the only shoes that were comfortably wide enough. I have really wide feet, despite my somewhat small shoe size-women’s 6.5. I’ve been wearing my old Nike running shoes (that I used to wear relatively comfortably) recently and quickly discovered I can’t wear them anymore. It’s so crazy how much feet change shape after switching. I’m so glad I switched to barefoot/zero drop/foot shaped shoes. My gait is getting better (complicated by joint/body “quirkiness” like so many humans have), and I’m SO much more stable on my feet! I lose my balance much less frequently. Tho, I would never get those individual-toe abominations (no offense, it’s all about utility anyway and I get that lol but the …toe-y ness is more than I personally could bear). I’m so happy foot shaped shoes are getting more popular though, because hopefully it will mean cuter styles! Many of the cute zero drop foot shaped shoes are SO expensive by comparison to typical shoes. I wish I could wear “conventional” shoes… but sadly I was not blessed with Barbie feet (even before my feet returned to their natural shape I never really fit in conventional women’s shoes).

Barefoot shoes just means they give the toes more space and have less cushion. They don't have to have separated toe spaces and can look fine

I wear orthotic slippers around my house and use a shower chair for the shower (i hate the feeling of flip flops even if they have the arch support). i am grateful that my orthotics gave me the ability to walk for more than just a few minutes, up until i was 17 i used a wheelchair almost everytime i left my house. take care of your feet folks!! remember that pain is your body telling you that something is wrong so if your feet always hurt then something is up!

I completely feel you. when I was in my 20s after over 15 years with auto immune disease, my feet began to hurt all the time while walking and there were not many shoes that made it any better. One morning woke up with searing pain in heel. Found I had a massive ulceration under a very thick callous on my heel. It was so bad the infection found it’s way into the bone. I had to have a surgical debridment, and have a catheter port in my shoulder, to deliver IV antibiotics around the clock for 12 weeks. Then I developed sensitives to the antibiotics after being on for a week or more, so they had to keep switching up the meds. I was so sick through that mess I ended up back in the hospital twice. After that the orthopedic doctor said you must use custom orthotic inserts and they sent me to a prosthetic maker where they made them for me. Changed my life. I could finally walk without pain. I only weighed about 80 lbs at the time, so it was really difficult.

😂 for real. I can no longer wear converse without pain.

Over time the toes fold underneath and the foot takes on a triangular kind of shape. it looks real nasty, but small feet (..or rather squished ones) were desireable. I believe the last woman who had this done to her had already died of old age, but I may be wrong. but yes, even without breaking all the bones in your foot shoes will, especially since we wear them from baby age onwards, constrict your feet and shape them to what we today think of as normal

All fine if you’re well balanced and have no tiny flaws in the way you walk or the way your bones are set in your foot. These can be painful and cause pressure points , resulting in thick, painful callouses. If you don’t need that cushion these might be great, but a lot of people, including me, could never stand it. I have to wear thick orthotics because I’ve lost all my natural padding on the bottom of my feet. But I’m glad they’re working for you.

When standing in water the pressure on your joints is lower so you can still increase your cardio vascular health without straining your body too much. I also think not everyone should run because you only get one set of knees and they get injured easily if you are too heavy or run too much with a bad form. For general health usually the people who live healthily into old age are just people who walk alot and I dont feel its necessary to run and especially not for long distances.

Many normal shoes prevent this too! Examples are AirForces, certain Jordans, even Nikes 270’s. Either wider shoes, or ones made of light mesh won’t cause much malformation in the toes. I mean I work nearly 12 hours a day (two jobs) and wear 270s everyday of the week for those 12 hours, and my feet look like how they should.

This is absolutely true! I broke my two left outer toes and went barefoot for over a month. Not only did it strengthen my feet, my toes actually realigned back to their original position.

For people with EDS, having our tendons spread honestly sucks. Having shoes with form and support can help chronic pain.

Im so exited to try out my new work boots bc they're up to my shin, sturdy and supportive as heck which will hopefully help my constantly swollen ankles with all the kneeling in weird places Im doing (Im an EMT btw).

I have suffered for over 30 yrs, horrible foot pain, dizziness, falls, equilibrium constantly off, toes misshapen, toes, under other ones, etc. I read you have to break in barefoot shoes, just a few hours at a time. The pain and mind boggling. I bought 5 different pairs of shoes this years, the same reaction. With inverted arches, my foot Dr said NEVER walk barefoot, but I finally thought, what can it hurt, I can send them back. That was two months ago. I got a kind with toes. I just got my second pair. Today I wanted to see if they have really done that great a job, so put one of the new sandals on. I just feel tipped over. HOW did I wear high heels for years. My feet are NOW able to point, before the ankle no longer bent. For me, I will never go back. I call them my hobbit shoes, and love them. I didn't even want to take them off the first few days, it was so shocking and wonderful to have room. It is more than room though, I have wide shoes. skinny feet with broken toes that are going to recover, if my ankles can change the toes will as well. I already am going to get rid of my old shoes, most never worn more than a few minutes at the store, when my feet were numb.

Most of them went barefoot. Including my great grandfather who never wore shoes and was even buried barefoot 🦶 As I aged, they gave me the option to roam barefoot or put on shoes if I wanted to. Even at 23, I only wear shoes if I absolutely have to. My feet are wide and my balance is excellent. I don’t recommend it to everyone because everyone is different. However, it is the way of my ancestors and I chose to continue this way because it feels the most natural to me. I am happy and healthy and I feel I have a deep connection to the earth.
