About this listen
Many work hard on good posture and better walking and running alignment, but it’s critical to understand how what you put on your feet each day can play a bigger role in the function of your feet, ankles, knees, hips, and spine than you might realize.
“By applying the principles in this book, you will be able to restore your foundation and prevent dysfunction.” Ray McClanahan, DPM
Biomechanist and author of Simple Steps to Foot Pain Relief, Katy Bowman offers walkers, runners, and health professionals alike clear, accessible lessons on how the shape of shoes can play a role in painful feet, knees, and hips and what to do about it.
When we have painful feet and weak ankles it seems like stiff, supportive shoes are the answer, but this solution can be temporary, especially if our issues stem from foot and leg weakness. In short, humans come with great “foot technology,” we just need to learn how to use it.
Minimal footwearshoes that protect your feet while still letting them move freely is gaining traction (get it?). Being barefoot is a natural human movement, but research shows simply kicking off our shoe-shackles and releasing our feet into the wild can result in injury. Whole Body Barefoot will help you safely and effectively transition to minimal footwear, reaping the enormous benefits of freeing your feet without injuring yourself along the way. A great book to listen to as you move working outside, during a walk or a marathon training run!

Katy does an excellent job of conveying sound scientific information in an easy-to-understand way. She is as entertaining as she is informative and all the changes / exercises she mentions are both well explained and easily incorporated into daily life. I will definitely be listening again for both information and entertainment.Also worth mentioning that (contrary to a previous review) the pdf is now available & very thorough.
Simple and impactful yet scientific and amusing

Would you listen to Whole Body Barefoot: Transitioning Well to Minimal Footwear again? Why?
Yes - it contains a lot of information and I'm sure I will take additional things in if I listen again.Any additional comments?
If you enjoyed this, try 'Move your DNA' by the same author. It's quite technical, but I felt that because the actual author is reading it, she manages to make some fairly complex issues interesting and easier to understand.Outstanding book read well by the author
