This post was recently updated September 26, 2023 I know that when I say “There is no support for arch support,” some people respond, “Yeah, but you sell minimalist shoes with no support, so of course you would say that.” To those people I say, “You have the order backwards. I discovered the lack of […]
This just in to the “I’m not surprised” department: A new study reveals children who are habitually barefoot show significantly different motor skills between the ages of 6-10 than those who are habitually shod. Researchers report those who are habitually barefoot have better balance and jumping skills. You can read the article here. I’m curious […]
The secret to finding comfortable shoes… It’s probably not what you think. And it’s definitely not what “Big Shoe” companies have been saying for the last 50 years.

I wish more people understood physics better. Sure, I say this in part because I got interested in physics at an early age. When I was 14, I was tutoring people 3-5x my age in antenna design, electronics, and other physics-related topics (I was an Extra class ham radio operator). But the other reason is […]
From a big picture standpoint, pregnancy is a time of growth and change. The anatomy of a mother’s body is rapidly adapting to the projected growth of the fetus (things like a widening pelvis and ribcage, changes in spinal curvatures, stretching of abdominal tissues, and shifts in the center of gravity).
