Clear advice with positive plan for improved foot health

I just love this lady's books. I bought this to learn more to help clients with sore feet and I'm not disappointed.

I had an extremely bad back and plantar fascia and began to suspect that my super supported joggers were causing my problems. I immediately got new shoes which weren't quite minimalist shoes but were hard with not much heel and support. I walked around the house in bare feet all the house and did the foot exercises in the book and got rid of any spongy shoes or shoes with heels. It took one month for all my symptoms to subside. I have read all her other books and agree with her ideas. Life changing!

I'm a bit biased, because I'm a long time barefooter (I go barefoot everywhere), but this is an excellent entry-level book to anyone who may have a shred of suspicion that their foot pain may be caused by their shoes. Even to those that do not see their shoes as a culprit, you'll learn. ☺ This book keeps its explanations at ground level, only getting technical when necessary to make a point. You should know a little about how your body works if you want to fix it, shouldn't you? Also, there are great exercises to help rebuild muscle and flexibility in probably the most neglected and mistreated part of the human body. If you're like me, and want more detailed explanations with a more comprehensive corrective exercise program, check out Whole Body Barefoot: Transitioning Well to Minimal Footwear , also by Katy Bowman . In fact, if you want the all-over treatment, check out Katy's whole collection of books about restoring strength and flexibility in the most neglected parts of our bodies.

Before this book I had problems walking because I had collapsed arches and cuboid syndrome in both feet. Dr. told me to get orthotics and special shoes. I spent thousands, bought this book and never wore any of them! 🤩 Save your money and read this book first! Then you can buy it for all your friends. P.S. Katie has solutions for all of your physical ailments. Her online classes are AMAZING!!! P.P.S. You’re welcome!

This book is great. My feet are 100% better and I am still practicing some of the things she wrote. I would recommend this for anyone having a problem with their feet. I didn't do everything she wrote but chose what would work for me.

I spent two years visiting podiatrists trying to get pain relief from my plantar's fasciitis. The first one gave me steroid shots in the tendons - apart from being THE most painful shot I've ever had - it did relieve the pain AMAZINGLY well, but it eventually came back. Bought the $500 inserts (not covered by insurance) and wore nothing but tennis shoes. Once the shot wore off I was back at square one. Tried another podiatrist who - irrespective of his being an ass - did nothing for me. I asked for shoe/exercise recommendations and he just told me that if anything hurts, I'm doing more damage. So on chance, I stumbled on this book in the library and read it. A quick, easy read, but filled with common sense suggestions. A month after starting her suggestions on gait training and stretching, I've gotten more relief than in the previous two years under "professional medical care". I'm a real skeptic with non-physicians, so for me to sing the praises of the advice in this book is unheard of. I even went back and bought it just to have it for myself.
