Your Shoes are Destroying Your Feet

I wish this was an understatement

It is my belief that the shoes we wear are the underlying problem in ALL, yes all, of the foot/ankle problems we experience today and I’ll explain why this is and offer my best solution to this issue.

I’m talking about flat feet, plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, bunions, overpronation, collapsed arches, and other modern problems.

To define “traditional shoes”, I’m talking about everyday shoes that are bought in standard retail stores.

These could be gym shoes, dress shoes, boots, high heels, etc. They all have very similar, uniform features that I’m going to identify and discuss why they are hurting your feet.

You will see that all of these symptoms contribute to a very harsh domino effect and they all seem to compound each other’s condition.

These features contort our feet into positions that’re completely unnatural to them, altering muscle length, bone structure, and natural mechanics of the foot.

This gives many people a laundry list of problems to deal with as they age.

I propose that the solution to this footwear epidemic is to remove the cause of all these problems by removing traditional footwear.

We need to upgrade to footwear that reverses these issues with barefoot / minimalist footwear. Here is what they offer:

The barefoot shoes I wear and recommend to people are Xero Shoes.

They offer all the aforementioned features that help restore your feet back to their natural form with time. Check them out here:

If you’d like to understand the specifics of why traditional footwear destroys our feet, I have an article dedicated to explaining what each feature does to hurt us here.
