Unfortunately, it wasn't made illegal sooner so there is still a population of old Chinese women who's feet are disfigured like that. Poor children were literally molded into becoming disabled.

      Other than the fact that flip-flops will absolutely destroy your feet and they are a horrible foundation to stand on. Your foot literally Hass to clean to the flip-flop with every step in order to keep it on, and the material used is almost always horrible quality and if you look at people wearing flip-flops just standing there you will see how caved in their ankles stance is. They are certainly beneficial to run into a store or slip on for a quick moment if necessary but absolutely not something that should ever be worn regularly

The key to running like this is to make sure you keep your feet pointed the whole time which is honestly exhausting to the Cavs and lower leg.

    • @dflaming1371
      @dflaming1371 Год назад

      I was born with ridiculously flat feet. After an injury in my childhood my knees hurt every single day. Aching, sometimes hot or burning, and the ligaments would cramp so hard I would just collapse and scream in pain. It was like my leg was getting twisted off at the knee.
      Doctors said I would be in a wheelchair by 30. I didn't like that, so I started a journey. The first thing I did was balance my walk. The insides of my shoes wore out before the soles, so I would intentionally roll on the outside of my foot and make sure I put pressure on the foot as a whole at the end of the stride. In a year, I wasn't walking on the inside of my feet or having my knees turn inwards.
      In another year, I had gained the strength needed to not focus on every single step and could walk naturally.
      Junior year I took up kickboxing. It was one of the hardest I've ever worked, and withing a month my knees, hips, and back didn't hurt at all. My body had the strength it needed to support all those old, ill treated injuries.
      Then I graduated and got a job.
      In half a year, it all returned.
      Poor working conditions cause horrible stress and declining mental health. I was in stiff shoes on hard floors, standing and walking and lifting over 10 hours for 5-6 days a week. It was miserable. The pain went from my knees to my hips, spine, neck and eventually shoulders, strains and injuries piled up until I was receiving another before healing from the first.
      After a transfer to a much better place, I started at square one again.
      I researched everything under the sun. I had to wear a light compression wrap on both knees every day. Then go home and work out to ensure I wasn't causing too much weakness from the support. It took 4 years for me to move to a tendon wrap, but it did reduce the pain, reduce swelling, and help me not twist anything.
      I put gel heel supports in my shoes. Not full gels as they can reduce foot stability, or memory foam as it only lasts an hour.
      During the worst of it I was also wearing a wrap around back brace, driving to work with a neck brace, and sleeping with braces and pillows keeping my neck still, joints supported and bent or lifted for relaxation. I had to get up at 4 or 5 for work and would do a round of therapy stretches as I found ones that helped.
      Three years of living like this, but it did cut the pain. A lot. It was a lifetime of injuries catching up, but they were getting dealt with all at once. It was brutal, but not as brutal as living in agony with no hope.
      I picked up a Katana and watched as my upper back, shoulders and neck all strengthened and fell into place. It was slow going, but I got there.
      At almost four years everything seemed fixed-except my actual feet. The meat of them was hurting with an all consuming ache and burn. I kept buying doctor recommended shoe after shoe and it got worse and worse.
      Because they were all narrow shoes DESIGNED to squeeze your foot for "support". My toes were all folded almost on top of one another.
      I bought a man's pair of work shoes, and my feet were still sore, but in a working muscle kind of way.
      The next pair were a mens 3e wide. I could feel my toes flexing and moving, as I watched my stride I noticed, for the first time on my life, I has an arch. Just a little bitty one, but still there.
      Now, as long as I keep up on my leg exercises--i never run downhill, and when I walk downhill I really bend my knees so the muscles take the impact instead of the joint, I work squats with slightly outurned feet and knees, keep up on back stretches-- I have a better body in my my mid 20s than I did as a child. Most people don't want to put in that kind of work. But there is no majic pill. I'm telling you it's worth it.

    Also this is why martial artists practice barefoot because of the greater balance and connection to the ground

    This man literally referred to foot binding as “feet adapting to narrow shoes” that’s not at all how that happened bro.

      The fact that it's possible for your toes to literally meld into your foot with foot binding is proof of adaption due to mutilation. Your body decides it doesn't need the nails anymore, so the nails drop off.

    Bro peoples feet didn’t adapt to foot binding they literally broke the foot and tied it up with bandages so they’d be able to fit in those incredibly small shoes. The way you brought it up in this video is kinda misleading and dishonest.

    I agree to a point, I usually prefer to be bare foot only indoors during the summer when I go outside I always wear something on my feet like sandals or flip flops and my foot looks the same as it always has.
