Have you ever wondered - what exactly is a minimalist shoe? Or, maybe you haven't heard of them but you need some strategies for improving your foot health. Today, I share my first introduction to minimalist shoes, how to ease into barefoot-style shoes and why it's so important to get your feet a pair of "ninja booties." I discuss some of the key features to look for in a minimalist shoe, how to perform a shoe test to identify the flexibility and mobility of the shoe itself, how conventional footwear negatively alters the way you move and can actually compress your joints, interfering with reflexes that are designed to keep your muscles strong and engaged. I also discuss strategies for transitioning into minimalist footwear and how to apply the concept of "progressive overload" to adapt to wearing barefoot shoes. I also cover some common questions like whether minimalist shoes are okay for seniors, on pavement or while hiking and situations where it might be best to alternate between conventional and minimalist footwear.
