People often ask me what shoes I wear.

My answer? It depends what I’m doing!

My goal with footwear isn’t to find one “perfect” shoe—it’s to match the shoe to the activity.

From running shoes to minimalist shoes to sandals, here’s what’s currently in my weekly rotation and why. 🫶🏼🦶🏽

****It is worth noting that I have been wearing minimalist shoes and working on foot health for YEARS!! If you are looking to wear less shoe, make sure you do so in a way that your body can tolerate 🫶🏼

What’s in your rotation?

Note - nobody paid me to make this video! I do have a few affiliate links available in my bio if you’re looking to grab a pair of Earthrunners, Peluvas, or toe spacers 🫶🏼🦶🏽

Your big toe should be the strongest toe on your foot, handling up to 40–60% of the load when you walk.

But because of injuries, footwear, and movement compensations, many of us stop loading it properly.

The good news? You can train it. 🦶🏽💪🏽

Time to bring some strength back to your big toes. Just feeling them press down into the ground is a fantastic place to start, and something that can be repeated throughout the day. Keep them nice and long, and experiment with pushing them down. Start while sitting or standing, then add in pushing off while walking. 🫶🏼

Remember playing “the ground is lava” as a kid?

Turns out it was pretty good training. 🤗

Balancing challenges your feet, wakes up your core, engages your hips, and gives your brain a chance to practice coordinating it all together.

Simple. Fun. Effective. 🫶🏼🦶🏽💪🏽

When is the last time you played?

A story about a foot.

She had been dealing with foot pain for 2 years - that was diagnosed as plantar fasciitis 2 months ago.

She had tried EVERYTHING.

What did we do differently?

We looked at the body as a whole. Made sure that everything was moving well without restriction. And got some foot strengthening going. Turns out, that was just what she needed.

Your body wants to feel good 🫶🏼

Your feet…but make it scary. 😵

Your feet deserve trust, strength, and shoes that let them be feet. Yes, there can be a time and a place for flip flops, cushion, and orthotics….but let these things be the exception, not the rule.

Are your feet stuck in a horror film? 👀

Don’t forget to get your toga in 🫶🏼🦶🏽

We ran hard at the Oak Bay Half- now it’s time to recover!!

Spread your toes,
Activate your arch,
Get the blood pumping in your calves
Move through the hips
And give the spine some love 🫶🏼

Do you have any favourites that I missed?

Foot health CAN be that easy!! But your toe spacers aren’t doing you any good staring at you from your shelf 😬

Toe spacers help restore proper foot function by realigning your toes. By getting your feet into proper alignment, they can improve blood flow, reduce soft tissue tension, and allow your intrinsic foot muscles to work in an ideal position.

Need a pair? Link’s in my bio 🫶🏼🦶🏽

The foot bone’s connected to the neck bone 🎶

The body is so connected. And never ceases to amaze me.
