24.01.2022 Suffering from achilles tendonitis, arthritis, painful toe joints or recovering from lower limb surgery? The meta-rocker design on @hokaoneone shoes is perfect for unloading the painful areas of the feet and lower limbs. The rocker design helps to splint the foot through gait so you can walk pain free!

23.01.2022 Do you control your shoe or does your shoe control you? Did you know that most popular brands of sport shoes take over the work of the foot. This weakens the foot over time and leads to a higher risk of injuries such as dreaded heel pain... Come into our showroom to find a better alternative for your feet!

23.01.2022 Now this is why we recommend zero drop shoes! In this post @anyasreviews shares the benefits of zero drop shoes! #repost from @anyasreviews ... Is your back pain the result of heeled shoes? Zero drop shoes are a non-negotiable for me. I’ll wear shoes that are slightly too narrow for me on occasion, or stiffer than is ideal (blasphemy I know!) but I never wear shoes with any kind of heel rise whatsoever. Because I have hyper mobile joints I am particularly susceptible to the dysfunction caused by heeled shoes, but nobody is immune to the changes they force on your body. In this photo on the left I’m wearing zero drop boots from @groundies_barefootwear. In the other 3 photos I’m wearing @timberland boots with heels that force my body to compensate. Often this entails thrusting your hips out in front of you and pinching your back to bring your upper half over your heels. But the clincher is, at this point you might be so used to floating forward and pinching your back that you are doing it all the time, even when barefoot! Per the usual, the right shoes are one step on your path to more sustainable movement habits. My personal favorite way to hone that core strength to keep you better aligned is single leg balance. But walking barefoot, sitting on the floor, moving frequently, doing foot exercises, etc etc all contribute to a stronger more well rounded body. How’s that for a first post back Way longer and more intense than I had planned. Flat shoes are better for you. The end I hope you all are finding time to rest, rejuvenate, and reconnect with your loved ones this season! #zerodrop #barefootshoes #heeledshoes #flatshoes #highheels #backpain #alignment #alignmentmatters #posture #alexandereffects #backissues

21.01.2022 Did you know? Some shoes such as MBT’s have soles that function as orthotics. The "unstable" rubber and curved sole design of the shoe helps to stimulate and strengthen the smaller muscles of the foot. This helps to improve posture and pressure and pain on joints and activates neglected muscles. We stock other brands with these benefits too.

04.01.2022 Why Thongs May Not be So Bad For us After all!! Firstly, what is a thong? An open sandal-style footwear, with Y shaped straps anchored between the 1st and 2nd toes by a toe post (thongs) are called thongs in Australia, jandals in NZ and flip flops in UK and USA. Worn by many cultures throughout history, including ancient Egyptians 1,500 BC. Thongs became popular with surf culture in 1960’s. Are thongs good or bad for our feet? Depends on who you ask; plus, there are diffe...rent categories of ‘thongs’, some of which function in effect as: 1) A static support held in place with straps e.g., Birkenstock, Scholl Orthaheel, Vasyli, Archies etc. 2) An orthotic e.g. FitFlop, Hoka, OOfos, etc. Where the sole contains Next Gen technology. The sole, in effect, functions as an orthotic (device designed to alter the function of a part) / rocker / muscle activation or other benefit, to offload or splint painful / injured areas of the foot/ leg. But what about plain old pluggers you ask? According to podiatrist Bronwyn Cooper, clinical consultant in the effects of footgear, thongs have been given a bad rap by health professionals. Thongs have been poorly understood due to decades of misinformation. Cooper believes they may actually be good for us! How so? For feet; A change in surface/ contours of footgear and from closed to open footwear is good for our skin, nails and neurological stimulus (or proprioception), as well as also for foot and general posture. Getting out of fully enclosed or fashion shoes is also good spiritually. In essence, barefoot so feet feel unencumbered, but with thin rubber protection for the soles of your feet from hot pavements, bindies etc. For too long, the footwear and foot health industries wrongly thought that as basic thongs offered no support, they must be bad for you. This notion of support as the default for feet has now been challenged for years. Cooper points to the popularity of Sketchers Go Walk/Run shoes and big brand sports shoes all going lighter, as support features are removed, following decades of clinical research. She points out that for the populations of Africa, Asia, South America, footwear can almost exclusively consist of thongs. Note these populations different gait and speed characteristics to those of shod populations. Finally, a research study for a doctoral thesis on this subject by Dr Angus Chard concluded what these populations have known for yearsthongs are not bad for us! The most common furphy is that the wearer has to grip to hold in place. Yet, when correctly sized on a wearer with good gait characteristics, they should not be a problem. Note like all products, they function best under certain conditions. In this case, allow languid gait, not a fast walk. CAUTION Don’t forget the sunscreen for your feet!
