I started jogging in minimalist shoes made by pure step. It helped me jogging comfortably in zone 2. However after 4 months of jogging i developed plantar fasciitis and the pain disabled me for weeks. My heel is still not 100%. I think there are not robust scentific evidence in favour of minimalist shoes.
I’ve been wearing the Hykes Pinnacle barefoot shoes, and I always tell my friends, imagine wearing a pair of pants that did all the supporting for you. If your muscles didn’t have to work, they would slowly weaken, leading to countless problems. The same goes for your feet. Since switching to the Hykes Pinnacle, my feet have become incredibly strong, and I never experience foot pain anymore. I can’t imagine ever going back to restrictive, conventional shoes. These barefoot shoes have truly transformed my foot health.
I've used 'barefoot' shoes for 6-7 months for all aspects of daily life, including running. My feet are generally tired, which I guess is from them working harder. Very stiff feet in the morning for example. I'm wondering whether zero drop would be better, and also for prevention of fat pad loss. What would you suggest from experience?
Would suggest not using them everyday! Especially when your feet are telling you they are tired. I use barefoot shoes 3-4days per week. No soreness or tiredness. Also never have shin splints when running in normal running shoes anymore. Due to barefoot shoes strengthening my calves.
@@espencapable I think I have strong calves but I do get peroneous longus or peronus brevis pain, I have been using cushion running shoes so I am thiking switching to barefoots due stability. I did twisted my ankle with my adidas ultraboost 22 and for running fast and specially in uneven terrain is very unstable.
@@Fr4nkSanchez Also not liking too comfy shoes in the terrain. I’ve been doing ok with the HOKA Torrent as they are the least cushioned shoes HOKA has and had worked great for trail/mountain running. The older I get, the more off days I need. Often take 2d off running to let my feet heal.
I have the Hykes Pinnacle, and I also say to my friends, imagine wearing a pair of pants that's did all the support for you and you used no muscles, your muscles will slowly stop growing and that will lead to endless problems, same with the feet, I am using Hykes Pinnacle barefoot shoes and I will never ever go back to regular restricted shoes. My feet are so strong now and never experience foot pain, etc
I believe he means if you have flat feet and have plantar fasciitis, you should avoid barefoot shoes for running and should wear motion control shoes until you feel better then once healed can wear barefoot shoes.
I am so confused by this video. First off you seem to confuse zero drop with minimalist. Minimalist shoes do offer zero drop but also zero support and padding which leads me to ask, what are barefoot shoes? There is a clear contradiction here. you cannot be barefoot if you are wearing shoes. just trying to understand. I am no foot doctor but just wonder, why not just go barefoot?
Sorry for the confusion. Zero drop are not minimalist. For instance, Altra is zero drop but has support (depending on the style). A barefoot shoe is one that mimics barefoot walking. No support and a very thin sole for protection. Think the Xero shoe or Vibram 5 fingers. Hope this helps.
@@DrAndrewSchneider Kind of but i still dont understand how a shoe can be barefoot. A shoe is still a shoe no matter what the maketing name is and as soon as you put it on you are no longer barefoot, right?

Same, I purchased a pair of Within Zero Drop running shoes. Ill give you a update next week after a few 5ks.

Which would you recommend for someone wanting weight lifting shoes when you don't want to go barefoot in a gym?
I would recommend using barefoot shoes for weight lifting. Zero Drop for running.
Are you sure that all people with flat feet are better off avoiding barefoot shoes for ever?
I am like 97% flat footed and love my barefoot and zero drop shoes
I believe he means if you have flat feet and have plantar fasciitis, you should avoid barefoot shoes for running and should wear motion control shoes until you feel better then once healed can wear barefoot shoes.
I have very flat wide feet. My altras have been my best investment. Had Hoka, but no more.

@@dancan6622 you are right. Even the thinnest sole is going to dull the sensation of the ground. It’s a shoe. Not barefoot.
So zero drop is not good for someone with fascitis?
Wow.. you're..not bright
You don't look as if you are a runner...
He's a doctor/ podiatrist
