Terrific video. I suggest another excellent exercise is rockhopping. Find a seawall or area where there are lots of not too rough rocks/boulders and walk across them barefoot. This will greatly help to improve foot, toe and ankle strength, and importantly balance.

I do that but I always see a possible miss. I’m 64-65 now. I still do it.

Thank you for all you post! You always provide a lot of great information about the feet & excellent content. What helped me a lot, in addition to the exercises & stetching, was walking in my backyard 20 minutes a day barefoot, over various terrain and ground materials, roots, rocks, gravel, bark, etc. It was painful at first, but my feet adapted quickly. Something else I realized, roots and rocks, reminded me of the foot release that many therapist and doctors recommend. TFC has a Solemate that I got recently and it is similar shape and natural feel as roots. It's helped me take my foot strengthening and mobility to another level.

I really like that in this video you show tests to see where you are so you know where to improve. I've been doing a lot of different exercises and noticed improvement but it's good to know where to focus instead of keep doing all of them without knowing wich works and which don't

Thanks a bunch for the feedback! That’s exactly why we created these tests. They help you pinpoint where you should focus your efforts and also serve as a handy tool to track your progress over time.

Funny, the test shows my toe is great and my left the pinky does well. I’m sixty five make 15% body fat, consumer scale, calipers and my partner agree. I practice barefoot sprinting and kick scooting as longs as I don’t feel pain coming on, otherwise I use more supportive or sift shoes. So every time requires a judgment call. Edit: foot size 7 E, I do not know if that matters.

I’ve been enjoying your content! There are no functional podiatrists near me (in the U.S.) to consult. Please address bunionettes (taylor’s bunions) or at least mention them if your guidelines apply to them too. I’m 62, female, with fallen arches, plantar fasciitis, and bunionettes which have been forming over the years even while wearing minimalist shoes that were not wide enough for the past 10 years. My feet have “grown” 2 sizes in 40 years and I don’t want them to spread out further! I want to reduce the bunionettes if possible. You’ve said to stop walking, but my work and lifestyle keep me on my feet all day, so how can I incorporate home therapy for my feet? Should I wear arch support while walking my dog and at work (on my feet constantly)? Then wear toe spacers and do foot exercises during my off times? Thanks for any suggestions.

Hello, I (M) have size 13,5 US/48 EU and I want to buy some toe spacers, but the largest toe spacers are size 11,5+ US. I think these will be too small for me. Do you have any recommendations for men with big feet like me? Thanks!

I have high arches, and a bunion on my right foot. I can barely spread my toes on my right foot and I'll get a cramp from trying to spread them. Can't lift my big toe straight because of the bunion either. My left foot i can kind of spread, but not much. Ive practiced balancing on one foot for a long as i can remember though. My balance is terrible on my right foot because of my bunion though.

Do you need cushion when you run fast on hard artificial surfaces? Like fast 10k runs? How much cushion?

Actually, 48 was when l began to change, virtually no more foot pain and no more need for insole; and wide- toe box shoes absolutely have my vote👍

It seems near impossible to properly splay short, stubby toes! 🤣
