  1. I want to create my own minimalist shoes

    I'm sorry for not updating. The materials didn't arrive on time and I had to move from my partents house, so I'll have to wait some months till I get everything.
  2. I want to create my own minimalist shoes

    Ok, thank you. I'll post some photos of the result once i'm finished.
  3. I want to create my own minimalist shoes

    I though that it was flexible :facepalm:. I have to buy it in spain and in the website where I bought it, translated literally it says: Name: "Cyanoacrylate Glue for flexible footwear" Description: "Instant flexible Cyanoacrylate glue ideal for footwear or leather. Glues the surfaces in seconds...
  4. I want to create my own minimalist shoes

    I've already ordered some materials including: -Around 120x100cm leader , 2mm -One vibram lisk sheet of 4mm (50x60cm) -Some tools to shave, puncture, and measure the leader holes. -Cyanocrilate to glue sole and leader. -Leader thread (150D). -A thick leader thread for the upper side of the shoe...
  5. I need wide toe box shoes.

    I'd love to get some information on how to build my own shoes. I read a post in the barefootrunning section on reddit, but it looked pretty hard to do. How much does it cost aprox. in materials? Do you need a lot of "skills" to do it or with a lot of time is enough? If it's not that hard I'll...
  6. How should we walk ?

    Can anyone tell me what's the function of the toes while walking? I though they were used to stabilise the whole body but after observing some days my own foot I realized I get pain in the 2nd -3rd met heads when both of those toes are pushing against the floor or gripping it and it seems like...
  7. How should we walk ?

    Thank you. -You say the rotation could be in many directions, but wouldn't this make in the long term that the bones of the toes rotate toward that direction? I totally agree that the rotation of the knee is more important but I think the rotation of the knee is influenced by the strength and...
  8. How should we walk ?

    I found the book from that websites (gokhale) to take a quick look and she actually says the knee should land bent. But she also mentions many things which i'm not sure that they are correct or at least I have never read about them like: -We should walk with 5-15 degrees of rotation in the foot...
  9. How should we walk ?

    Again I find contradictions :confused:, here she says we should land with a straight knee: https://nutritiousmovement.com/walking-or-bouncing/
  10. How should we walk ?

    I've been googling about it and in some places they suggest that the knees should also be bent at landing while walking. That would cause a smaller angle in the ankle as you said: https://gokhalemethod.com/blog/52812 I've been trying a little bit walking around home doing that, and I do feel...
  11. How should we walk ?

    Thank you. I think I'm in that point of where i need "medical rehabilitation training". I mean, I can walk from A to B but probably as already happened to me in a two weeks hike I ended with a fracture in one met and tofp in the other one. I think that with a proper walking technique and a good...
  12. How should we walk ?

    True, but I think what really matters is having good stability in the feet. If you can form a good tripod with your feet you should be safe, but if not maybe increasing that interdigit space helps.
  13. How should we walk ?

    That's a really interesting point. Do you think this applies to walking? Landing with a bigger angle due to a longer stride or a straight leg, could make the tibialis muscle work to pull forward and therefore contribute to having shin splits because that load is too much for the muscle.
  14. How should we walk ?

    He vivido en muchos sitios, pero la mayor parte del tiempo y donde están mis padres en Cantabria, al lado de Asturias, a 200-300km de Tolosa hacia el oeste. ;)
  15. How should we walk ?

    Thank you. I had already seen that youtube channel and some more which also talk about that forefoot landing, but I haven't gone in depth because I wasn't sure if I'm learning wrong habits which and I have to latter "forget". I'm from Spain and I don't find any resources in Spanish that talk...
  16. How should we walk ?

    Do you also have the 1st met behind the 2nd, or just the toe? Here they talk about that interdigit space but maybe the point is not the space but having the 1st met aligned with the 1st toe. In many people that implies having a bigger space...
  17. How should we walk ?

    Thank you for your answer. I never had though about walking speed at all, but what you say makes sense. But couldn't the speed be increased by having a higher cadence instead of a longer stride? Since I posted this I also found this video from some barefoot cultures: After watching it a...
  18. How should we walk ?

    Hello, since I broke my 3rd met I haven't moved at all and I've spent hours and days looking into why it happened. And now after almost 2 months I think I even started to develop some pain in the other foot, like a stepping over stones feeling (metatarslagia symptoms). I've been all the time at...
  19. I need wide toe box shoes.

    Today I went to a vivobarefoot shop and ended up getting the stealth II swimrun, although I had to take a number bigger than what I usually use. They are wide but still not enough for me to wear them with the toes spread. I'm not completely sure if they are going to be a little bit too big...
  20. I need wide toe box shoes.

    Well, I went to try the joe nimble. Some of their models are much wider than the others, but for me they weren't wide enough. I ended up buying a half size bigger. But when I came home and tried them again I had the feeling I was stepping over a plastic making a lot of noise and no feeling of...
