When I was about 10 and we had real shoe stores, my shoe man explained this to me, but I didn’t grasp it. I’m 62 and glad to hear it again! This is why when I spend hours in the kitchen barefoot my back kills me. I will get a pair of sneaks just for the house. Thanks!
Not just cardboard, but a collapsed old box turned inside out! 📦 No whiteboards 👨🏼🏫, no poster boards📈, no iPads📱 or computer screens🖥, no computer printed signs📊...just an old box and a Sharpie.📦🖋✍🏻
Thanks for the content guys. I’m in my thirties and work out about five days a week and love the advice you guys have for people trying to build a better foundation for their body.
I suffered from terrible SI Joint pain for years. Last year I stopped using my 20 year old orthotics I had fitted when I weighed 60 lbs less. As a result, the pain went away and the scar tissue is slowly breaking down. Definitely check that wear pattern!
Really helpful! I thought my gait was wrong because my shoes wore out on the outside of the heel, but I learned today that this is a normal gait! Now if my wide shoes would be available again…
This is all great information. But don’t even throw your old shoes out unless they’re wretched. Have you noticed how a few shoes are for sale lately. They used to have the most beautiful shoes in marshals, TJ Maxx, and Ross. Not any longer
Wow so glad I watched this tonight. My back and hip all of a sudden have been bothering me and now I’m realizing it must be the worn out sneaks. Thank you!!
It’s amazing to hear y’all weigh in on minimalist shoes they definitely altered how I walk and it starts on the outside of the heel then moves to the center of the forefoot which is now how I walked prior and definitely had sore feet for the first few months as well ! I wear minimalist shoes only now my feet feel strong!
Lol! The drawings crack me up! Good job, guys!!! Motion control shoes is what I wear. I had worn Stability when my Motion control shoes were out of stock for 9 months and I ended up with 2 foot injuries. I ran a half marathon on 2 foot injuries. Glad that my Motion control shoes came back in stock.
I wear Clark shoes. I looked at the bottom to see the pattern and noticed that they actually put the marks on the bottom where they should be worn. How clever.
I purchase my shoes from 2 different stores. They have trained shoe fitters. I pay more for a nice pair of shoes than I do a dress. I have long narrow feet and as long as my feet feel good, so do i. Thanks Bob and Brad.
Fascinating. I bought a sturdy pair of trail boots with ankle support, thinking it might help to have more support. But within two weeks, plantar fasciitis kicked in. I didn't catch on at first, and kept trying, doing the exercises and taping that you show, which helped a bit. Then I heard one of you mention that too much support can be bad, and it clicked, that I had just changed shoes. I bought some New Balance regular trail shoes, which have done me well in the past, and within a couple of weeks, my fasciitis was 80% better. I won't go sturdy again.
Yup, I bought a pair of running shoes thinking more support = better shoe. Nope, got plantar fasciitis too. After that experience, I learned a lot about buying the right shoe and rehab/prehab exercises for feet!
@@jsi4064 Not exactly. I'm not going barefoot. The sturdier trail boots were stiffer and had high ankle support as well as arch support. My new shoes that work fine also have arch support, but minimal ankle support.
I use the Hoka One model only when I run. I like that it makes the foot strike more comfortable. And for it's size, it's a surprisingly light shoe. I bought these to break myself into running, as it's an activity I've never enjoyed. With the Hokas, I think my entire frame was able to adapt to this activity better than if I'd used just lightweight trainers. For exercise that has a lot of lateral motions, I prefer a court shoe far and above over a running style shoe of ANY kind and recommend it. It really helps avoid ankle sprains. :)
I'm 56 and have been running since I was 10. I've maintained the same wear pattern my entire life. Based on your wear pattern I fall in to the normal category. Problem is that I get into the white/foam portion of the shoe in the heel area and the rest of the shoe still appears to have plenty of life left in it. Usually happens in the mid 200 mile range. It gets expensive based on the stat that says you should be getting 300-500 miles per pair. Still cheaper than visiting an orthopod because of hip, knee, or lower back pain. Love your channel BTW.
I usually go barefoot unless I'm going somewhere or I need protection for some kind of work I'm doing such as digging or walking on surfaces that might cause pain. I recently had to get rid of a pair of shoes that I had for more than 23 years. The shoe wasn't worn out but it started to fall apart from old age.
My daughter recommended minimalist shoes so I bought a pair. I couldn't walk through my house with them!! I have balance issues. I need New Balance for the support.
My running shoes wear on the heels, more outer. Supposedly I'm supposed to replace after 200 miles, but I usually get 600-1000 miles on a pair. And I'll down grade my running shoes into walking or biking. New Balance makes shoes too well to throw away!
Oh I had an old pair for bad weather and went shoreline last week, didn't one of them become unglued in its front, flap, flap, flap! Always something. People are like trees, the slower they grow the stronger they'll become! 🎠💪
Yep! Check out my shoes today after watching this video! Definitely reminded me to get inserts for my pronation! Thank you! Also, my Bob and Brand foot massager arrived today! I tried it out for just a couple of minutes and am already in love!
I have sciatica pain pain in my right leg, I walk with a limp, my toes are 40% numb with tingling sensation, and my right shoe wears out to almost having a hole in it, while my left shoe is fine normal wear.
@@beverlyharward9631 I have seen 4 doctors so far, and they’ve all recommended PT. I took 8 sessions of PT and it helps with me being able to flex my spine more, but after a while they started asking me to do push ups and crunches? I almost walked out. After a while PT was causing severe lumbar spine pain, I had to quit. I’m going to ask for a steroid injection. I have 4 herniated disc’s and a fractured vertebrae all in my lumbar spine. I’m able to walk using a firm back brace, I can’t sit or stand for long periods of time. I usually run errands and have to rush home to lay on my side. I hate it
Wow! This was very helpful. I pulled a couple of old pairs of my shoes and followed along with you and was actually surprised at how much I learned in this short tutorial. Thank you so much. 💓
How about you do a video about when to change your shoes from your perspective? This video was awesome but you don't sell shoes but have to deal with the fallout of old shoes.
Hmm, first thing for me is that I have to have shoes with very wide toe bases... 4E to 5E... everything else does not matter as much. I wear them until they are well worn out... air conditioned, as in the winter I walk the dogs through the wet ground... very hard to get shoes for wet conditions with the wide toe base...
Great informative video! Never thought about "reading" my shoes, but will definitely check it out. Also great to see Bob looking and feeling so much better.🥰 Bob, you said you have "surprisingly" high arches - I do too. Do you find it more difficult to find shoes that fill in that gap? You guys better wash your hands after handling those old shoes, LOL!
Oh my goodness, Bob, my toes do that too! And the top of my feet get painful and my toes rub through my shoes. I’ve never heard of this before, I just thought it was my quirky feet. I walk a lot both at work and around my neighborhood for fitness but I don’t run. I’m a nurse, I’m taller for a woman, 6’, and I seem to have lots of foot and ankle issues now that I’m 60. I think I would benefit from a walking or gait analysis you described. Thank you so much.
Thank you! I need new work shoes, and I was considering getting something different than what I have. Looking at my wear pattern will help me choose a shoe that may be more suitable.
Thanks for the video--very informative! I'm in my 60s and have noticed that my sneakers wear out on the outer sole of the heel of both shoes. I also have some hip pain and wonder if the way I'm walking is causing it.
Guys I think there's a slight error regarding normal wear patterns and what shoes to ask for, if you have normal wear patterns, then 'neutral' shoes suit you, not a stability shoe, a stability shoe, or a shoe with stability features(from Nike), is a running shoe designed to help athletes who overpronate. It supports the arch of the foot and provides greater support through the midsole and into the heel. Stability shoes are usually more rigid than neutral running shoes.
I am a pronator but I actually have really high arches, and I had to have custom orthotic insoles made to support my arches. I have suffered on and off with plantar fasciitis, ergo the inserts. Interesting about checking your shoes for wear patterns. I will certainly do that!
I would like to hear discussion about shoe wearing down pattern that different between left and right. The length of my legs are different and so the wearing pattern.
great information. i have 2 pairs of shoes i was about to throw out, but now i am glad i didn't. i just looked them over to see the wear pattern, and was amazed at what i found. i've always noticed the overall wear pattern, but this time i saw even more subtle details that i would have missed or ignored before i saw this video. i also have a few new pairs of shoes and i have been wondering if i could change my walking style to avoid certain types of wear. thanks to the information in this video, i now know i can. thanks for sharing. 👍🏽👌🏽💖
New Balance are the only shoes I can get that are wide enough for my feet and they fit my US13 shoe size. Mine always wear on the outer edge of the heel.
If the diagrams are displaying the bottom of the sole, I think they have the right and left backwards, don't they? Notice the 'inside' and 'outside' labels.
I walked on my big toe. It is painful now. And my big toe points up it puts holes in the top of my shoes. My feet do hurt all the time. I just changed to Birkenstock’s for walking around. It kinda helps. But idk I can run or do work out that have me bend my toes anymore. You never know how much you use your toes in work outs. No planks or anything like that.
Thanks for the video. I had a look at my shoe soles... my wear and tear was on outside near the heel and inside at the toes😝 Saw a podiatrist and was told I have a flat foot on the left, but high arch on the right... turns out that the body tried to even things out as I do have a right leg that's shorter (used to be 5 cm when I was little, now around .5 cm)
I always thought the hole in the top of the shoe is caused by a long toenail on my great toe or by shoemakers designing shoes to wear out in a way that will embarrass the owner enough to replace them.
I was running in worn out shoes and ended up in knee pain.... Remember if your shoes are worn out then stop using it and buy new one comfortable which you can spread your toes inside the shoes.
The back of the heel on my shoes wears out, as well as suppination. My shoes (including expensive ones) show significant wear within three months. I don't do a lot of walking. I can't afford to walk...
@@BobandBrad I've been told not to walk outside barefoot by a therapist. My shoes typically show a half inch deep wear and I already have a problem with finding shoes that are wearable right now...
I know you’re not a podiatrist but high arches and plantar fasciitis is the pits! Painful shins and pain in the heels was unbearable. Custom orthodox were the answer. Yay! Thanks for your videos.
My husband refuses to throw out his shoes until the upper part rips apart from the sole. I don’t know if it’s because he’s over 60 or if he’s gotten cheap over the years. LOL!
I've recently gotten into Vans slip-ons so I don't have to bend over and tie anymore. Oh, and I'm 38. I also try to go barefoot around the house as much as possible and even ventures into the garage or yard.
And why oh why are laces, so often way to long? There's something sacred about laces isn't there? Well I didn't keep those darn old runners which failed me just when I needed them most but did keep the laces and thank goodness for that! 🎠
please help me ,i m suffering from 1y,i first got ankle sprain turned to knee hip and back neck pain i got treated for ankle but not ankle joint some physiotherapist say it's Patellofemoral or patellar tendon,some doctors say it's nerve one i got mild l5s1 l3l4 disc bulge,mri is normal i m always have 24h dull pain in knee please help i m from india
By minimalist, do you mean the zero elevation shoes? I have a pair of Xero brand walking shoes with no heel, no arch support and a wide toe box. What do you guys know about those? are they any good? I was sold on their being better for balance.
Hi Bob and Brad. Was wondering, can the wrong shoes cause leg foot or toe cramping. I've had that problem for the last 7 years, after I retired from working retail and a cashier.
Yup. Magnesium! Also Potassium. Try getting some Magnesium lotion, rubbing it on your body before bed and eat a couple bananas or potatoes. If you notice your muscles feel better the next morning, you'll know it's one or both were low.
I get holes in all my shoes from my big toe! Not sure hot to fix it. I also have huge plantar fybroma ( viking disease I think ) on my foot .I have to cut holes in insoles where the bulge is also.
I must have flat feet. First of all, you can tell by looking at my feet. Second, my gait is exactly like my father who has flat feet. Third, I never liked sneakers as a kid. They weren’t comfortable and wore out quickly on the insides. I don’t wear sneakers, haven’t for years. I wear the original Kalso Earth Shoes, Birkenstock’s with soles reinforced on the inside, old style Catholic school uniform oxfords with hard leather soles, or flat, wooden soled clogs for lounging around the house. I wear cheap flats, no heel at all, if the occasion requires it, but that’s for short periods of time. If a shoe comes with cushiony inner soles or built in arch supports, I take them out and replace with a homemade flat leather liner. Since all these shoes except the flats are very expensive, I don’t wear them out. I get them re-soled before that happens. I have no trouble with my feet since I started wearing these in my late 20’s and I’m now in my mid-60’s. I can walk for miles without foot pain.
I don’t know what this says about me, but the right shoe is always way more worn down than the left shoe. I have been an avid runner for a couple decades now and as I’m approaching mid 40s, I’m experiencing a lot of joint pain. I will run on the concrete in the hot Florida sun. This year for some reason, I am experiencing a lot of knee pain and the whole left side of my body hurts and lower back pain.
@@Pamela.B funny I’ve been really contemplating whether or not to get the 2nd vaccine. I really started having serious joint pain and body aches after I got Covid. And I’m okay with being sick for a week but with not lingers on and on and on and affects the quality of your life… Not sure if I should get the second vaccine since the new variant is spreading around here like wildfire. Anyhow I eat a fairly clean diet a lot of raw organic produce, salads, eggs, beans and fish. I was considering trying keto, but I don’t do dairy or gluten or a red meat.
H H We need to boost our immune systems. Vitamin D, C, Zinc, Quercetin, L-Lysine. Hospital protocol on Covi-flu patients calls for Remdesivir which is deadly... yes, truth. Athletes are not immune to heart failure from whatever they put in the boosters. ☹️
They have minimal souls, very light and offer little support to the bottom of your feet. The idea is they keep the small muscle in your arches and feet stronger. Brad

What does it mean if the wear pattern is very different for each shoe? One is normal, the other is very much on the inside of the shoe.
The inside of the heel always wears out so fast on mine
some absolutely do!

My husband refuses to throw out his shoes until the upper part rips apart from the sole. I don’t know if it’s because he’s over 60 or if he’s gotten cheap over the years. LOL!
LOVE the lighter hair Bob! You look younger!!
I've recently gotten into Vans slip-ons so I don't have to bend over and tie anymore. Oh, and I'm 38. I also try to go barefoot around the house as much as possible and even ventures into the garage or yard.
how yah feet feelin?
And why oh why are laces, so often way to long? There's something sacred about laces isn't there? Well I didn't keep those darn old runners which failed me just when I needed them most but did keep the laces and thank goodness for that! 🎠
I thought I was the only one that forced my big toe up into the bottom of my shoe. I have even had to get toenails removed.
:)
I pop through ALL of my shoes except leather. Toe is never sore. No callouses either. No cute canvas shoes, won’t make it two wearings.
Informative! Thanks.

By minimalist, do you mean the zero elevation shoes? I have a pair of Xero brand walking shoes with no heel, no arch support and a wide toe box. What do you guys know about those? are they any good? I was sold on their being better for balance.
Keep going!!! You are going to be on TV again soon :D
:)Thanks!
Hi Bob and Brad.
Was wondering, can the wrong shoes cause leg foot or toe cramping. I've had that problem for the last 7 years, after I retired from working retail and a cashier.
Yes, it definitely can
You might be low on magnesium. I used to get cramps all the time and now I don't.
Yup. Magnesium! Also Potassium. Try getting some Magnesium lotion, rubbing it on your body before bed and eat a couple bananas or potatoes. If you notice your muscles feel better the next morning, you'll know it's one or both were low.
I get holes in all my shoes from my big toe! Not sure hot to fix it. I also have huge plantar fybroma ( viking disease I think ) on my foot .I have to cut holes in insoles where the bulge is also.
I get holes in the toes of all my shoes.
What do you think of the Xero Shoes?
Man, I'm one of those people who are lucky to have a pair of shoes at all!!!
I must have flat feet. First of all, you can tell by looking at my feet. Second, my gait is exactly like my father who has flat feet. Third, I never liked sneakers as a kid. They weren’t comfortable and wore out quickly on the insides. I don’t wear sneakers, haven’t for years. I wear the original Kalso Earth Shoes, Birkenstock’s with soles reinforced on the inside, old style Catholic school uniform oxfords with hard leather soles, or flat, wooden soled clogs for lounging around the house. I wear cheap flats, no heel at all, if the occasion requires it, but that’s for short periods of time. If a shoe comes with cushiony inner soles or built in arch supports, I take them out and replace with a homemade flat leather liner. Since all these shoes except the flats are very expensive, I don’t wear them out. I get them re-soled before that happens. I have no trouble with my feet since I started wearing these in my late 20’s and I’m now in my mid-60’s. I can walk for miles without foot pain.
I don’t know what this says about me, but the right shoe is always way more worn down than the left shoe. I have been an avid runner for a couple decades now and as I’m approaching mid 40s, I’m experiencing a lot of joint pain. I will run on the concrete in the hot Florida sun. This year for some reason, I am experiencing a lot of knee pain and the whole left side of my body hurts and lower back pain.
How’s your heart? Avoid the jab & boosters. My joints stopped hurting when I went on a keto diet.
@@Pamela.B funny I’ve been really contemplating whether or not to get the 2nd vaccine. I really started having serious joint pain and body aches after I got Covid. And I’m okay with being sick for a week but with not lingers on and on and on and affects the quality of your life… Not sure if I should get the second vaccine since the new variant is spreading around here like wildfire. Anyhow I eat a fairly clean diet a lot of raw organic produce, salads, eggs, beans and fish. I was considering trying keto, but I don’t do dairy or gluten or a red meat.
H H We need to boost our immune systems. Vitamin D, C, Zinc, Quercetin, L-Lysine. Hospital protocol on Covi-flu patients calls for Remdesivir which is deadly... yes, truth. Athletes are not immune to heart failure from whatever they put in the boosters. ☹️
Great video! Thanks
What do you guys think about barefoot shoes?
We haven't done a video on that yet, however I will add it to our to do list!
🎶 Bob and Brad, the shoe most famous..
I am pigeon toed. what should I wear.
Brad! Finally remembered who you reminded me of. Yuri Gagarin.
I never heard of him, but I do not get out much :) Brad
Soviet cosmonaut, and the first man in space.
excuse me why do you keep saying bottom of the shoe? when its usually called the sole ?
I have a high arch and I need insoles.
What are minimalist shoes?
They have minimal souls, very light and offer little support to the bottom of your feet. The idea is they keep the small muscle in your arches and feet stronger. Brad
MY shoes don’t have a soul. 😉
Minimalist shoes are definitely not cheaper
OMG your opening song is soooo bad that it is good.
If you ask me modern shoes are made by so low quality "wear-resistant" materials it's better to use plastic water bottles
How are my two dads able to afford such expensive used cardboard?
So has BRAD started working on his ankle mobility so he can start to do the Asian / Primal Squat and change his world?
