...it is indeed a strange pursuit to the average observer...to the more informed, intrigue undoubtedly sets in...but don't those shoes look ridiculous? Well, I think you're shoes look ridiculous! But that's not what this post is about. This post is about highlighting all the wonderful small companies out there that truly care about . I can't say the same about most big shoe companies. But won't I get injured? Not if you respect your body's ability to . Maybe barefoot shoes just aren't for me? I'd argue they're great for most people. Begin by mobilizing your feet, get thin minimalist shoes for casual activities, and change your athletic shoes last, at least a month after the first two steps. Even then, only make miniscule changes at a time allowing several months for each small change. Integrate the new shoe slowly, doing only a handful of 1min:1min walk/run intervals at first, then finishing your running for the day in your old shoes. Add a walk/run interval each run and increase the "run" portion of the ratio gradually.

But where do I find barefoot shoes that are right for me? Ones that aren't too much of a change from what I'm adapted to? That is a huge problem, and that's why I've been working on compiling barefoot running shoes on my website with a variety of thicknesses, so that that you can find something that's right for YOU! I'd also recommend reading our e-book and the subheadings of each section for more tips.

Yet another reason may be my favorite brand. is on the nightly news pretty much every day now for a good reason... Make mindful purchases this , or none at all!

Reposted from Black Friday? We’re not buying in. Here’s why.

Every year, the shoe industry creates billions of shoes – these all contribute to global pollution – both in manufacture, and disposal.

Uncomfortable truths about over-comfortable shoe habits could get us down. But taking on bad habits is what we do.

Last year we sold 19,000 pairs of renewed Vivos through – and this is just the start. So we’re excited for the future and the opportunity to challenge the demands of Black Friday.

And it’s not just our customers who are feeling the preloved love. The global resale market is predicted to be worth $64billion by 2024 – that’s a whole lot of things that are being kept in use. We celebrate all of it.

Do you feel like your just doesn't understand you? Its no secret, many have had a less than stellar experience navigating their injuries in the . I don't blame them for avoiding doctors like the plague. But maybe you've just been seeing the wrong doctors. Which leads me to an important running principle... never accept a final recommendation from a doctor who isn't a runner themselves.

For my patients, first thing's first. We need to learn a thing or two about modern pain science. WHAT?! Your doctor hasn't educated you on the fundamentals of pain science?! If they haven't, then you may be missing a huge piece of the puzzle.

Chances are, you're capable of far more than you think. Your are likely more capable than you think. But experience and knowledge bolster confidence 💪 Traversed 19 miles of some of the most rugged texas terrain yesterday, and my feet couldn't have been happier. Ready to do it all over again 🙃

That's exactly what I love about physical therapy. When you're hurt or inexperienced, things are scary. If you're struggling with what you're physically able to accomplish, give yourself some . You are where you are, and that's ok, its YOUR journey. And to get to the next level, maybe it's simply a matter of learning some new things, not an impossibility.
