No shoes no service does not apply to stay-at-home life. To the contrary, we should ALL be looking a LOT more barefoot time during #ThePredicament. (We know you’re only dressed up from the waist up anyway. #zoomlife)
Take a few minutes to follow these barefoot tips so you can be making the most of this time outside those foot coffins. #IUTU #liveready #thereadystate

Hey, I haven't seen anyone articulate some of these ques or start with a "reference position" rather than going straight into "how to run barefoot..." Much more comprehensive and less injury prone information. Subscribed and will be sharing your video!

Kstar! When this whole situation started for me about 6 weeks ago, I immediately realized that I was gonna be barefoot like 95% of the time. I have watched you talk about foot position for like 10 years and all that has come into effect. Thanks Doc!

One of the best around. Really appreciate all you do. I have your book, "Supple Leopard," and it's really changing my life--and hopefully many others.

This is a brilliant video for anyone - especially athletes- that have knee/hip/back problems. For 20odd years I've had physio helping me with my pelvis/knees/muscle strength training, to combat my problems. I was finally given fantastic advice on starting at the very foundation of my posture that this video goes over. Being conscious of foot position and even weight (I leant on the outer blades of my feet turning off my glutes and inner thighs), has helped IMMENSELY as I stand all day for work so have programmed bad mechanics. I wish I had this knowledge sooner but grateful to have it now for sure!

Great demonstration of how to get in touch with your feet. People need to at least take out their insoles, like you have to see the difference and maybe they will give minimal shoes a try, a shoe with a wide to box, zero drop sole and no toe-spring are what makes minimal shoes superior.

I have the opposite issue. I have knock knees, so all my pressure and weight is on the inside of my feet. I've REALLY been making the effort to ground throughout my whole foot, especially during my yoga routines and more foundational workouts. My goal is to get my legs as straight as possible and it all starts with the feet

It is funny, I recently purchased my first pair of minimalist shoes from Xero Shoes for hiking to try something different than what I normally do. And, then your channel started showing up in my feed. The experience of feeling the terrain while wearing shoes is interesting and I'm still deciding if this is the way to go. Your content is nice and very clearly done, thank you.

My second and third toe on both feet are longer than my big toe, second toe is Morton's toe on both feet. I find that I put a lot of pressure on my toes second when I wear autra's zero drop more pressure in my heel. I never really noticed it till I watched your video, so when I went backpacking I now understand why I got blisters under my big toenail and because most of my weight was on my heels. Now I also understand why I have foot and hip positioning problems in my CrossFit classes. Now I need to find out how to correct the problem. Thank you.

@raphaelfelder3954 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you Sir! I'm curious what kind of shoes your training shoes are? Also, as far as every-day shoes go, should I look out for certain HTT drops? As a person with tremendously flat feet, I wear a 10mm drop in my running shoes. Thank you again!

@lumay1966 4 жыл бұрын

Sadly, all of these "cute" shoes are throwing off our alignment, weight distribution, gait, and splay -- all amplified by a heel rise, toe spring, and rounded (and pointy) toe box. Thankfully, the barefoot and minimalist shoe market has evolved past the slightly off-putting Vibram toe shoes.

@IndianaNaturalDog 3 жыл бұрын

Agreed! I will say that Vibrams are wonderful to run in and in the context of running the "look" of them is a bit more acceptable. Outside of that context, Vivobarefoot/Lems/Xero are the go to for everyday shoes.

He is so excited about this, but I wish it was a bit more structured. It seemed he was bouncing back and forth explaining different concepts when I’m new to the whole thing and am still not sure how he wants me to stand. So feet angled apart is always bad?

@understandingunconditional7040 4 жыл бұрын

I think really you have to work through his book to get a handle on how the concepts fit together as a coherent whole- thats the thing with him, great videos and infectious enthusiasm, but he isn't the best at coming down to the level of his audienceà

Ok but what if my knees go inwards when my feet are straight forward?

@RadioactiveHg 4 жыл бұрын

Turn your knees outward while keeping your feet in solid contact on the floor. simultaneously turning your hips outward. for me letting my knees bend while trying to turn my knees outward before straightening my legs to lockout helped me understand what muscles were weak. I found it hard to bring my legs to full lockout without having feet leave contact with the floor or compensations through the back, hips, hamstrings, and glutes due mostly to tightness but also various little weaknesses throughout. It helps to stand sideways to a mirror and see if you're standing with good posture as you're doing it. Also I would recommended looking up Knee Valgus, it will explain more indepth on the tight and weak muscles causing it.

@Eric3Frog 4 жыл бұрын

Frequently this is a sign of lateral stabilization weaknesses. Gluteus medius is a prime culprit. Try side stepping up and down a hill, one side at a time - slowly. This will strengthen your lateral motion muscles.

there are plenty of somewhat affordable barefoot/minimalist shoes out there. I feel like Im barefoot wearing my Lems boots and shoes without the insoles. Zero drop and wide enough to allow the toes to spread properly.
