Summary
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!
NOTE: Once you purchase this title, an accompanying PDF with exercise photographs and bulleted instructions will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Simple and impactful yet scientific and amusing
Any additional comments?
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.

Outstanding book read well by the author
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.

Brilliant book for the whys and hows
Katy is so knowledgeable about her subject but presents it in such a fun, approachable way. I got everything I wanted from this audio book and, bonus, could practice while i listened!
The outtakes are hilarious.

Life changing
Following the steps in this book, has helped me fix my achy feet, and improve my overall body and posture.
Katy explains in simple terms which really made sense. Once you know it there is no going back. Recommend to anyone with feet and bodies.

Wonderful book
A joy to listen to . Extremely informative and very easy to listen to. Katy's humour is a breath of fresh air. I was reluctant at first to purchase such a short book on such a big subject but she packs in everything you need to know and more . Highly recommend .

Helpful
Really enjoyed the first few chapters, but then she started describing exercises, which just doesn't work for me in audiobook format when driving or walking! That said, I'm told this is the definitive work on going barefoot so maybe buy the book alongside this.
