š What if your shoes are part of the problem?
You probably donāt think twice about your shoes.
You put them on. You go to work. You work out. You walk the dog. You live your life.
But what if the shape of your shoes is quietly changing the shape and function of your feet?
š¬ **STUPID SHOES** is an investigative documentary that asks a deceptively simple question:
**Did we design our shoes for our feetāor did we force our feet to adapt to our shoes?**
The film follows a global investigation into 245 years of overlooked science, modern footwear, foot health, and the surprisingly complicated relationship between what we put on our feet and how our bodies move.
šæAnd yes, we're having a WATCH PARTY!!
Come watch the film with us, play fun foot and balancing games, then stick around for a conversation about what you just sawāand what it might make you reconsider about your own shoes.
You do NOT need to have foot pain to be interested.
But if you've ever:
š£ kicked off your shoes with a sigh of relief
š£ wondered why your toes don't have much room to move
š£ been told bunions, stiff feet, or other foot problems are simply āgeneticsā
š£ wondered why your feet don't look anything like the feet you had as a kid
ā¦you'll probably have some thoughts.
**Come watch. Play! Question things. Maybe look at your shoes a little differently afterward.**
