A trigger point roller is a great way to release muscle tension, pain, and recover from activity faster. Grab a roller online and watch this video to start learning techniques to improve your health.
Shoes that have a wide toe box and a zero drop (no lifted heel) designed sole allow your feet to move more freely and strengthen, rather than weaken, your feet while you walk!
Natural shoewear
Regular sneakers are not designed with your foot health in mind. Unfortunately standard shoe companies like Nike, Reebok, Adidas, etc build their shoes in a way that weakens our feet and creates a world where we rely on their shoes and orthotic inserts for support.
The reality is that our feet are built to be strong and resilient with a large powerful arch. Our toes are meant to spread out wide (like when we walk barefoot). How do we fix our weakened feet? One easy step is to start with shoes that have a wide toebox and a heel that isn't raised (zero drop).
Our Favorite Options
We do not currently have an exact model that is our favorite. When searching for shoes you should look for a 'natural toe box' and 'zero drop' or '0mm differential'. This will give you a shoe with a toe box for your toes to move around and the shoe will not have a heel raise.
Brands we like that have these options are Altra (not all models), Lems, Vivobarefoot, Xero, Merrel (not all models) and Tolos. There are many more if you search the term 'natural toe box sneaker' or 'zero drop sneakers'. Please email or text if you need guidance.
Sole Steps
SoleSteps® are engineered to relieve the daily stress your body encounters from walking, standing, and exercising using four key points. These four key points create a unique slope and combination of angles that provide full foot support allowing you to build strength in your feet to counter foot collapse. The unique slope of the SoleSteps® encourages your body to bear its weight towards the outer front section of the foot without losing balance and security of the full foot.
