I've had a decrease in foot pain and knee pain after switching to minimal shoes when I go walking and jogging for less than 2 hours. I have a pair of Xero Shoes sandles and one of their shoes. I even sprint in them and my feet feel more alive and wired in to how I move. When I play basketball or soccer and really need to go as fast as I can I wear the types of shoes you recommend that only bend at the toe box and have firm ankle support. I also wear proper trail running shoes with padding and support when I got hiking or trail running for more than 2 hours. I also like wearing a slightly more padded feiyu type shoes with their open platform for the office.
Ironic as I just read your post and despite all of my issues (see above your post), I really love Xero shoes from their sandals to their boots to their walking shoes. I can’t really run - I’ve always said if you see me running you should start running and my children always said, we don’t need to be fast, we just have to be faster than you mom, if something bad is chasing all of us lol! Yes black humor is still better than no humor at all lol! Anyway, recovering from a bad fall right now. My dog who was on leash with a heavy pinch collar thought he was going to be all bad ass and take out this poor sweet pit bull who literally was trying to make friends. The pit was off leash and after I eventually found the owner, had slipped his collar as well. My 35 lb Beagle-Golden Retriever took me flying down to the ground slamming onto my worst knee of the 2. But at least once I’m on the ground, I can completely control my dog. Ha - maybe if I’d been wearing my Xero shoes I’d have stayed on my feet!
Emerging knowledge conflicts with this. Emily Splichal is a good initial source regarding why modern shoes with pointed toe boxes, heel drop, cushioned soles, and arch supports are causing foot deformities, leg and back issues, and literally disabling us. We were not designed to depend on shoes for support and resilience and they tend to increase our weaknesses and foot and back issues. The barefoot movement is focused on building strength, balance, and agility in our feet as they were meant to function. It has helped me greatly.
damn bro....emerging knowledge? name dropping emily in 2022? did you also just discover something emerging called bitcoin? the human foot relies on passive structures like bone and tendon to create mechanical leverage for muscles to work, so adding support only increases the potential for your foot to get stronger. if you're a therapist, I urge you to spend a few days in an amputee or cerebral palsy rehab facility and all of your barefoot paraphernalia will end up in a trash bag by the end of the week
@@pigu8734 You exaggerated my point. I didn't say that people with uncorrectable physical challenges shouldn't use supportive devices. However, we should seek to correct any imbalances through organic means before we rush to surgeons or orthotics. Relying on support weakens our bodies by definition. If you've ever worn a cast or brace, you know that's true. We've been misled by the shoe industry, orthopedists, and podiatrists for years because their primary driver is to make money from our ailments - not cure them. My feet have suffered from the "corrective shoe' industry of the 60s and bad shoe designs that still continue. Minimalist shoes and retraining ARE helping me gain strength and I can walk barefoot comfortably. You can find lots of success stories or out there about people taking charge of their foot health and throwing away those old badly designed shoes and arch supports and strengthening and rebalancing their feet and legs and hips and gaining strength and mobility. I just encourage readers to do their homework. There's a lot of emerging information out there and it's helping me. I'm not sure why you felt like you needed to attack me. All that said, I'm sorry if you're going through a difficult health experience and suffering. I hope that you find what you need to feel better. In the end, that's all that really matters.
I am one of those people that had I had PT in early childhood, I probably wouldn’t be where I am today and it’s not a good place. My ortho doc used to call me the rubber woman of the circus! He was one of the best docs out there. Dr. Brian Oliver went to the Olympics as one of the Sport’s Med doctors. He was from Safety Harbor, Florida and he always promoted PT before any surgery and definitely after. He was taken from us far too soon from glioblastoma, which is a form of brain cancer that takes its victims too soon and cruelly. Dr. Oliver is the only reason I have full extension to my knee joint after the f-cked it up with 2 major knee surgeries as a child, where I received pain meds only if I was screaming. No assessment for pain was ever made after surgery at All Children’s Hospital in St. Petersburg, Florida. My quadriceps would go into muscle spasms inside the cast I had from my long leg cast. I remember I had to wait until the nurse came back from lunch with the narcotic keys before I could be medicated. I had another nurse threaten to drop my leg if I didn’t get back from the wheelchair into when I was in one of these horrible spasms. And where you ask was my family, my parents? My father had died 4 months previous, my mother in a deep black depression that nothing was going to change. The only time she spent with me was to drop me off and pick me up a week later.
So, I trust you so much that I bought ASICS Cumulus 23 without even trying them on (no stores in my city have a size 7 in men, and ASICS has gender specific construction in their shoes, so I can’t buy women’s). Shoes really make or break me, if I wear the wrong pair I have bad back pain and piriformis inflammation, and every shoe seems to give me that. I’ve been doing somewhat well enough (better than before) with Brooks Ravenna 10s with an insole with arch support, but I still have issues. Well I’ve been now wearing these ASICS that I got delivered from Amazon for a few days, and even tho they’re not the most comfortable, I can wear them without the insoles and my postural issues greatly diminished. I can stand and sit for way longer and it’s not a constant struggle against my body. I do a few of the PRI exercises you and Neal Hallinan recommend every day, and I stretch my hamstrings (it does help in my case), but the missing piece is clearly the shoes. The other things I did was unplug my right nostril. In these allergy seasons I can barely breathe out of it, but with Zyrtec , Flonase, and nasal strips at night I’ve been able to breathe a lot better, and that helped my issues as well.
Great suggestions and advice! I have swapped over to Asics Cumulus after many years in Merrell Bare Access and Vapor Glove shoes. The referencing of the ground for me now is a game changer. I will go back to the Merrells as suggested once I feel I am ready. I have been in the new shoes for two months and my gait is so much better! Looking forward to running again soon. Thanks for all the help.
Thank you for this video! This helped me understand much better how to choose my shoes! Your channel has helped get me moving again - THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge!
What do you think of brands like Xero? When I was working 12+ hour shifts as a nurse in the ED, rarely stopping to sit, followed by last position as a nurse in the jail (think ambulating on concrete all shift long), I had switched to Xero brand shoes. I have the world’s worst bunions, no arch at all, 8 knee surgeries so far for knee dislocations since childhood, 3 back surgeries for pars planar and facet joint fix l5-s1 left with bilateral SI joint arthritis, multiple levels of lumbar and cervical spondylosis. Josh I think that’s it! Yes I experience severe pain daily and as soon as I have insurance again I’m going back to PT for assessment and treatment. I’ve been told I’ll need to have surgerical repair of flat feet then the bunions, 2 total knees and who knows about the neck and back. Good thing I don’t have other major history issues.
Thanks for another helpful video! Curious I didn’t hear you mention recommending shoes with a zero heel drop or a wide toe box which I thought were helpful features in restoring proper gait. What’s your take on the importance of those features?
Love my Altra's and wanna try vivobarefoot trackers but overpriced. Used to have flat feet but now more of low arch so I agree get some! Also love AONIJIE Toe Socks.
Water, cut processed foods ,sugars and caffein, add teaspoon raw honey daily to one meal and work up to two tablespoons of food grade Diatomaceous earth 5 days a week.
Really really interesting. Would love to hear more about this. I think the issue with the bunion surgery on my left foot and my inability to flex my big toe has worked its way all the way up the chain causing a severe hip impingement on that left side as well. This happened over several years
Interesting! My bunion has caused exactly the SAME PROBLEM and I have NOT had any surgery! I’ve been hesitant about getting surgery because of all the adverse reports about it and because I have no pain in my big toe joint. However, my second and third toe are turning into hammer toes and deviating to the left because of the big bunion toe pushing them over! My hip pain is getting so bad that I can’t use it for going up or down stairs! I have to lift it up and down to get in and out of the car! My feet make my life miserable and I can’t find ANY SOLUTIONS! I wish someone could help me!
@@sheilasmith1109 I have found it helpful to Target the muscles in the exact area that seems like it's lost all hope of Mobility. For instance in your hip and in your feet, begin doing gentle exercises to push back into the ranges of motion that seem like they are completely lost. You can get them back with consistent work.
I have had gluteal tendinopathy for years now, which radiates through my lower back on the same side. I noticed this summer that my hip pain is completely gone when I walk around barefoot … I’m considering buying barefoot shoes but they’re so expensive
Conor, Would you recommend someone that currently uses orthotics to keep using them with a shoe you discussed, or do the foot strengthening exercises to not need the orthotic?
What does one do when the feet are different? My arch is low and collapsed on the left foot; the right foot has a medium to high arch and doesn’t collapse. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thank you.
Question, how about for people are barefoot walkers? Or use minimalist shoes? Even folks who walk around in sandals, or barefoot like in other countries? Shouldn’t we be exploring how to use our feet more freely than constricting them to only one specific shoe type?
Barefoot for me. I have a bunion on one foot and none of these trainer type shoes are much good for that. Such small toe boxes. And it seems to me that's the way you'll get all that feel factor in your toe knuckles and heel. Simply love them. Not saying barefoot's for everyone.
Hi Conor, I have massive pain from Anterior pelvic tilt... please answer a few of my questions.. Is it alright to try strengthen the abs through exercises like leg raises if i do them right no hip flexors involved, also, would you say getting the glutes strong is more important than the hamstrings?
Whilst at the same the barefoot community and way of physio therapy’s is hugely missing out for not taking into consideration PRI’s philosophy into account. Surely can’t be long before this is a cross over.
OK. In the PRO shoe list, the NEW Balance 880 is recommended for high arch.. you do for low arch, im confused now :D. i do overpronate very strong, i use the kayano 28, they helped a lot, would you recommened another shoe for overpronation.
Can you make an video addressing chronic plantar fasciitis/plantar fasciosis?🙏 I had it for 1 year and nothing seems to work (many physiotherapist visits), doe I might try some of your shoe tips in this video that might help 👌 Keep up the great content it has done wonders for my anterior pelvic tilt and my 7 year long chronic rib/back issues!! 💪
When my back pain stated getting better and my APT got a little better was when I started doing "The durability code restore" which Conor Harris did with Pjf performance. It's an 8 week program and the exercises that helped the most was the corrective exercises almost daily (90/90 hip lift, 90/90 hip lift one leg, Supine cross connected on the floor) and twice a week core training (bear crawl, reverse crunch, all four alternating belly lifts, t-spine cable rotation, throwing without a ball). I did 3-5 weeks of 90/90 hip lift before I started the 8-week program so I learned the technique. Tip is thinking about the corrective exercises as mediation so your body gets used to the positions and feels comfortable there 💪 I had pain when sitting so it helped a lot to do daily 5min of mediation sitting on you hip bones with relaxed shoulders and thinking about breathing through the ribs 360 degrees. Really relaxes the tension of pain I had in my back/ribs 👌 Good luck 🤙
Barefoot shoes are not bad whatsoever. They have a time and place. However, they do not provide enough reference for some people in the context of what types of “reference” I discuss in this video. Barefoot shoes can be great, but in my opinion people (again, if these people have issues or a history of issues) make the transition to them often too quickly from shoes with a lot of “cushion” or shoes that are very different than the way your foot interacts with the ground when barefoot. 0 to 100 too fast, which can potentially lead to problems.
@@conorharris so what is an important key aspect for somebody with a posterior tibialis tendon inflammation but a high arch due to a hollow foot and very slight supination?
@@conorharris Agree, but I think it's important that you mention them. An not only shoes, but working out barefoot as well, especially on heavier lifts.
I know I ain’t ready for barefoot shoes, I can’t even be barefoot at home. That was my problem, I was barefoot too much and my feet don’t work too well when it comes to giving me the proper references from the ground. I need as much guidance from my shoes as I can get.
nit: Don't wear a Nike shirt during the video, it makes you less credible. However, you kinda dissed a certain Nike shoe at one point, so I think it was just accidental.

So does this mean I’ll have to wear shoes after I complete my pri exercises?

Hello Conor! I live in Europe and Brooks don’t deliver here. Can you recommend another brand which I can find in Euroe? Thank you very much!
for limitations injuries and mechanics and body movements a biomechanic would be better to go to then a physical therapist is that accurate?
