  • @TheRectorscale
    @TheRectorscale 10 месяцев назад +115

    With all this in mind, I’m curious to see what you have to say about the “barefoot shoe” movement, which completely ditches the heel to encourage the arches of your feet to support themselves. I’ve noticed that since switching to minimalist shoes, my feet, and arches, have become stronger, not weaker.
    But that’s just me

    • @Lillith.
      @Lillith. 10 месяцев назад +15

      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.

      Thin soles, but also they allow toes to spread out. When your toes are spread out your own arches get more pronounced (for many feet anyway) and encourages your foot muscles to support that structure

    Now it's making sense. I've always heard conflicting information, some saying we should go back to when we had no shoes(so shoes like Zero shoes) because the foam and arch support makes our feet weaker, but then like you mentioned the impact of the ground wears down the bottom of our foot. So it's hard to tell which advice to take.

      When he showed how the body compensates in heels, I felt a bit of horror. I have 10'ish years of local pointe training, nothing super intense, but I immediately saw why heels are awful for the average person. They don't have the full body training and ankle flexibility to align their bodies to the heels. The moment I saw that iconic shoe shot, I knew whoever's feet had been used for it probably had ballet training because the lines were perfect. I was right.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

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.
