Stripping my shoes off, putting my feet on the ground, and running and playing has always been a rather nourishing and enjoyable experience whether on a beach, grass, or even hardwood floor. But most of my life I have lived in a shod world, surrounded by shoes, and was taught to believe that I needed to wear shoes in most situations for protection and societal normalcies. Whether it be in stores, walking from place to place, or on trails, I was always told that I needed some protection on my feet.

But over time something shifted within me, a voice beckoning me to take off my shoes. It wasn’t until I started learning about how incredible the foot was that I found myself wanting to be barefoot more and more, even kicking off my hiking boots to hike, and eventually starting to run, barefoot on trails of all terrain.

So I say, free the foot! I wrote this book to share all that I have come to learn about the wonderful world of feet. Whether you want to learn about going barefoot full time, are interested in barefoot running, or simply want to develop a better relationship with your feet, this book was written to speak directly to your sole.

Whole Body Barefoot: Transitioning Well to Minimal Footwear – by Katy Bowman https://correcttoes.com/shop/books/whole-body-barefoot-transitioning-well-to-minimal-footwear-by-katy-bowman/ https://correcttoes.com/shop/books/whole-body-barefoot-transitioning-well-to-minimal-footwear-by-katy-bowman/#respond Thu, 02 Nov 2023 15:49:53 +0000 https://correcttoes.com/?post_type=product&p=152917 Many work hard on good posture and better walking and running alignment, but it’s critical to understand how what you put on your feet each day can play a bigger role in the function of your feet, ankles, knees, hips, and spine than you might realize.

Biomechanist and author of Simple Steps to Foot Pain Relief, Katy Bowman offers walkers, runners, and health professionals alike clear, accessible lessons on how the shape of shoes can play a role in painful feet, knees, and hips―and what to do about it.

When we have painful feet and weak ankles it seems like stiff, supportive shoes are the answer, but this solution can be temporary, especially if our issues stem from foot and leg weakness. In short, humans come with great “foot technology,” we just need to learn how to use it.

Runner’s World Your Best Stride – by Jonathan Beverly https://correcttoes.com/runners-world-your-best-stride.html Tue, 25 Feb 2020 01:08:42 +0000 https://dev.correcttoes.com/product/runners-world-your-best-stride/ Every runner wants a smooth, light, powerful, and resilient stride. But there isn’t one ideal form all runners should try to emulate. Instead, research and experience show that people can run effectively in a wide variety of patterns with some universal elements.

In lively, accessible prose, author Jonathan Beverly details his search for common ground among physical therapists, podiatrists, biomechanics researchers, and coaches, and reveals how individual runners can apply those principles and improve their performance, avoid injury, and enhance their enjoyment on the run.

With specific, illustrated exercises that show how to counteract tight muscles from excessive sitting, improve limited arm mobility from hunching over electronic devices, strengthen your feet for better balance, and improve speed by lengthening your stride, Runner’s World Your Best Stride is an approachable guide to human movement and a practical tool for improved running performance.
