  1. Turned Navicular --> back pain

    Dear docs, I'll start with a brief history in the first paragraph then describe the current pressing issue in the second A year ago I was a runner/hiker, had a habit of running and hiking in slightly too long and worn out shoes with a conventional drop. I started getting pain in the bones of...

  2. Barefoot friendly floor at home?

    The plantar fasciitus has mostly gone now (FINALLY), so its not so much about necessity as it would be about comfort. I'll keep the uneven flagstone idea in mind for the distant future, would be pretty sweet. I must admit that I have always hated flat surfaces. I used to be much more...

  3. Barefoot friendly floor at home?

    Thanks for the heads up, I'll definitely get one once I get around to ordering a pair of their sandals

  4. Barefoot friendly floor at home?

    I really don't like flat hard floor, and neither does my plantar fasciitus. Resolved the issue by making a path out of old clothes, shoes and other random stuff from one side of my apartment to the other. The uneven surface gets all the little muscles in the foot working, and in general just...

  5. Inwards turning foot, posterior tibial tendon issues

    Hi, Thanks a lot for the inspiring story and for the tips on foot exercises. I have an over the counter orthotic and a custom made one, both feel a bit dodgy under foot. One thing I noticed is that the outer side of my calf muscle has multiple knots in it bigger than the tip of an index...

  6. Bespoke transitional shoe - could a wide toebox, toe spacers + 6mm drop work?

    Thanks for the response. Sweet looking pair of shoes, but I need at least the stiffness that a minimalist shoe provides. Found myself a weekend shoemaking course and built a shoe myself, I'll know if it works in 2 weeks or so when the sole has been attached and they post it over

  7. Bespoke transitional shoe - could a wide toebox, toe spacers + 6mm drop work?

    Hi, Still not quite a barefoot runner I have a somewhat messed up foot - curves inwards a bit, long toes plus a few extra bumps. Literally no off the rack shoe fits well enough. I'm injured and my forefoot is way too weak for going cold turkey on shoes. I am going to have to cough up and...

  8. Inwards turning foot, posterior tibial tendon issues

    Hi I posted before about an issue with 2nd toe buckling. Fixed that by trying long and hard to wake up some muscles in my foot. That was the easy part My foot turns inwards a bit (the picture below shows what I mean) I have overpronation and irregular posterior tibial tendon pain. My 5th toe...

  9. 2nd and 3rd to buckle and don't hold much weight - help please

    Problem solved, I think/hope. Fysio number 2 had nothing much to say on the ankle pain. Also, I literally got nothing from him when I asked about correcting how the toes function. Instead, the highly professional gentleman with 30 years of experience suggested that I acquire a shoe with a heel...

  10. 2nd and 3rd to buckle and don't hold much weight - help please

    Thanks for the ideas and help Sid, I'm glad that you have it figured out and that the little toes buckling isn't an issue. As for me, I think it is. My big toe bears all the weight and turns inward, giving my foot a somewhat unnatural shape. I was quite happy walking and trying short bursts of...

  11. 2nd and 3rd to buckle and don't hold much weight - help please

    A big thank you for all of your time and answers I may have misused the term 'mortons toe'. My big toe is the longest, but the 2nd metatarsal bone is as long or a tiny bit longer than the first metatarsal bone. I seem to have a rather bent bone between my knee and foot, but can stand up with...

  12. 2nd and 3rd to buckle and don't hold much weight - help please

    Hello, I am really interested in the idea of barefoot running/walking, but one issue is seriously holding me back. If you guys have any suggestions, please let me know. The fysio I talked to was useless. She had no suggestions for the toe, instead a strange love of orthotics which I politely...
