Thank you Bob and Brad for the demonstration of how to tell your arch type. I never realized I was more on the flat feet side. This has helped with my search for my trouble feet.
Fourth year medical student here! I love your videos and so happy I found you two. You guys share valuable information that I don’t get in medical school! Thank you for sharing!!!!
You guys are a treasure! You've helped with my Achilles tendinitis and other issues. I'm so glad you're out there.
This is a great session, but maybe it would be helpful to have other people with you on this one to show exactly what a low arch and a high arch look like compared to the average or normal arch.
I work in hospital lab and I love my Brooks, it gives me a great stability and also help my posture.
What an excellent video - just found your web site, and am very impressed. Have kept a running diary since 1994 and have just gone past 25000 miles this week (40000km). I have never had a running injury, which I put down to always running in decent shoes. Tend to buy same model each time. About 5 years ago I made a determined effort to change my running style from heel to forefoot running. Agree about the sore calf muscles initially, but my shoes last almost twice as long. They used to wear out fairly quickly on the heel - I even used to buy tubes of shoe goo to build up the worn heels. With forefoot running the heels dont wear at all and there is a gradual and slow wear on the forefoot part of the shoe.
What shoe?
I never heard this before the first time I watched this video. I have been to a podiatrist as well as a shoe specialty store. Thank you for educating me. I have motion control shoes now and the completely stabilize me feet and ankles. Doctors, physical therapists and nurse practitioners told me NOTHING.
@@Tkauf no clue about feet...oh the irony, huh?

Exactly.
This information is really important, people that don't know the proper shoes for an activity will get affected in years, I think it's correct to call it a bad habit.
Agreed.. most kids these or even parents worry about the style. Is it nice?? how much is it? $45 (on sale) it must not be good. $260 for shoes thats insane but it must be the best shoe... wrong its something called, Marketing. as long as you feel comfortable. I always try a pair of shoes on and actually simulate the activity what I will be doing. such as basketball shoes id put them on and do some cuts and jumps. I may look funny but hey this is an investment might as well test it. not just walk up and down the store.

Exactly. I had some Nike shoes for running and it gave me Plantar Fascilitis (sp?). I still have issues till this day! Running Camp advisors told us Nike shoes were the worst for your feet and running. Wish I knew this before!
Nike isn't the worst, they fit some people but they can't fit everyone. You can say that with any brand, I've been a loyal Saucony customer because I don't experience issues with them but recommending them to everybody would be naive at best.
Have been watching your videos since yesterday and finally found some real and great information! Tnanks to you I found out I have been suffering with Plantar Fasciitis. I started doing all the exercises and hope to feel better soon. Also providing the night splint brace! Super thanks to you both! P.S. Sent some of your videos to a friend in Brazil :)
Brooks sneakers have changed my life…. Glycerine 19 gts …. Completely flat footed , RN working 12 hour shifts… there was no break in period - felt great immediately
Great information here in this video for fitting different types of feet in various categories of supportive footwear. I’ve been in the comfort shoe business for about 6 years and this is exactly what I educate people on.
i watch your show from Scotland UK. You too are so good at explaining ..
The sneakers are some good foot wear.I have 4 pairs that my Son bought me because ye said I like to walk a lot and walking distance they are very comfortable foot wear.When I walk in them my feet never felt tired after walking long distance.I used the sneaker for cancer walk's, Shopping etc. Many thanks to Bob and brad for your useful resources,And God bless everyone.
You guys have been helping me so much with my knees and feet! Thank you so much for the information!
The most comfortable and supportive shoes I have ever had so far are New Balance. I love them!
Mee, too!
New balance was recommended to me by my podiatrist!
They have the wisest and best toebox for people with feet like mine!!
I previously wore New Balance, but it was recommended to me to wear New Balance SERIES 900 or better!
It has made a fabulous difference in my foot pain!
The pain in my feet 🦶 is virtually gone now!
me too
But for me the most comfortable is asics
@@zuhdi97 @ really? I try asic but I don't like, NB fit very well
@@rockandblues3635 hmm i plan to buy asics novablast.
I can’t stop watching your programs.I have sooooo much fun.Thank you ,guys you make my day bright in those gray winter days. Hello from Canada! 😂🙏🇭🇷🇨🇦
Have literally just binged watched several of your videos like great movie or documentary!
Nice
They are so adorable and informative
Me too! I
3 Years later, still helping people! Ive been suffering for over 12 years from back pain
Kierra Bunch I have been following Bob and Brad for 3+ years? Physical Therapy is EXPENSIVE even with Ins. These two are giving it away FREE! I tell everyone to watch these guys.
Why do I just discover you guys?! Thanks for the informative and entertaining presentation.
I always sing along to your opening jingle! 😆😆
I watched a UA-cam video also about shoes and specifically women’s shoes. The presenter demonstrated that shoes with a pointed toe, didn’t even have to be very pointed, had the effect of pushing the great toe over crowding the other toes. That also had the effect of removing the stability given by the structure of inner side of the foot as the toe was no longer in its natural position, leading to pronation and knee problems. It was like a light clicked on! Yes!
This basic information is not basic/ common sense to lots of people at all. You guys have cleared up so much confusion. Thanks so much.
You two gentlemen are good guides. Really helpful.
Thank u guys...i almost got custom orthotics..b4 discovering brooks..they r just great..my knee pain just vanished
Congrats on finding the right shoes for you.
Thank you so much guys
You are amazing!
This video was extremely helpful, I finally was able to figure out my wife's and my son's foot, knees and hips problems.
Thank you again indeed
finally. a proper guide to choosing running shoe from a proper background as a physical therapist
Thank you so much Bob and Brad.💖
SKOL!!!! Very happy I just found your channel.
I bing watch you all like crazy - great content! I llove how you have over 1million subscribers.
wow mind blowing with all that info... it make a lot a sense and begin to understand with all the experience with my foot .
You guys are wonderful!🥰🥰 you tell us more than everything we could ever want to know about our bones. I learned a lot from this video about purchasing daytime shoes, as well as running shoes. Thank you, thank you, thank you . ❤️❤️👏👏😘😘
Watch your videos daily...thanks for all you teach us. I have bad knees and don't walk right...feet hurt etc. Need some added advice on deciding if I have a normal or a high arch. I do know I have a narrow foot. Thanks guys!
I believe I stumbled upon a genuine video well done
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I suffer from chroic compartment syndrome in both lower legs which i had to get a fasciotomy for bc of high pressures.
You both have pretty high arches, never saw such arches. There are no sneaker stores open with informed sales people in my area.
you should see mine..
@@gaganbhagat8547 where is it
My foot is basically the same as the smaller doctors except in a size 12. The first doctor has a very medium arch like I do, but medium is not the average. From my time, playing soccer and running track and just being around teammates and friends, it seems like most people are on the flatter side.. with some having a mid range arch and few ha I a high arch. People with high arches tend to be more athletic in terms of explosive power like sprinting and stuff like that and flat-footed people tend to be better at walking for long periods of time. In the mid range, people tend to be kind of good at everything. But not the best at anything.
GOOD INFORMATION I ENJOY YOU'RE VIDEOS KEEP MAKING THEM. 👍
This is such good information! Thank you for sharing.
Been having pain on top of my foot while walking. I think my shoes are I’ll-fitting. I would say my arches are like Brad’s. Helpful video, gentlemen. Thank you!
See if you have a Fleet Feet store near you. They do a 3D scan of your feet and email you a copy to keep and use. It includes a breakdown of lots of information about each foot and where they differ from each other. They also spent almost an hour helping me get the best shoes for my feet. It was free, except the shoes.
Thanks a lot guys. Got my perfect pair of running shoes . Very informative.
You are both knowledgeable and entertaining. Thank you.
I am in tears !!!!
Oh wow, I like these guys. I wish more UA-cam channels had TWO experts bantering and whatnot.
Years ago I once spent a decent amount on a shoe. Unfortunately it was the wrong one for me. Today I have found this video and understood where I went wrong.
You guys are the most famous Dad's on the internet 💖🙋🏼♀️
Thank you for your videos. They have been extremely informative and appreciated! Based off of this video and your other videos related to this topic, I have medium arches. I just started running long distance and thought I was an underpronator, but it seems that my left foot pronates much more than my right. Is this possible that the two sides don't match in biomechanics? If so, hypothetically what would you recommend? Neutral shoes with arch support insoles or just get stability shoes? or arch exercises? Thank you for your help.
Everyone needs to know this.
Great Help. Thank you so much.
Hi guys, in general u post great material, many thanks, it's a pity u haven't discussed some other issues like e.g. 'drop' - possibly maybe debunking some misconceptions about it, all the best!
Awesome information and now I know. Thanks 😘😘
Thank you so much guys !👍👍👍
This was very helpful. Saturday I spent over an hour trying running and walking shoes and could not get comfortable. I think I have plantar fasciitis on the right side and need to see a podiatrist. I have wide feet with very high arches and narrow heals. For hiking I wear Keens and they are fine. Do you have video about orthotics?
I have found barefoot running shoes to be immensely helpful for knee pain, because of the gait adjustment and forefoot running style. It's not for everyone, but if transitioned into slowly, barefoot/minimal shoes I have found to be wonderful. It's hard going back to chunky running shoes.
I am READY to get new
shoes that fit!! Thanks
for your great advice!🙂🙂
I'm actually about to try minimal barefoot shoes. Been researching it for the past few days.
I've been looking at Vivo for ages, just for walking. Padding and support isn't working.
@@lindagray1809 There's many factors that you didn't mention about your feet. Altra shoes though, are zero drop from heel to toe, but have more padding at the bottom than most minimalist shoes if you're not ready to get that much "barefoot".
Same! They don't need to be literally "minimalist", just zero drop. I started running in Altras (mainly for the toe splay), and actually they made heel striking hard. Transitioned to forefoot and it was like rediscovering running again.
Excellent video! I’m a teacher and you explained clearly how to find adequate sneakers. You made a complicated subject simple to understand. Thank you!!
It’s hard to find videos based on research and experience today. Everyone goes for the likes and flashy content. This is Highly informative much appreciated. Thanks again
I don't know if you are the two most famous physical therapists on the internet. I don't even know if you are real physical therapist. But I know for sure that you have the best video intro on the whole youtube.
Thank bob and brad
Guys you are the best not just in your opinions.....
You guys are awesome thank you 🙏
Thank you.i need this
Thank you for this informative video :)
I have new balance shoes with a rollbar because i am totally flat foot. They are the only shoes that actually seem to last me because my foot can no longer warp it out of shape. Love them. Too bad they r so expensive
Make sure when you try the shoes on to walk on a hard surface not just soft!
Very helpful thank you!
Nice videos, and the first time I have heard about "forefoot runner". I need to check that out. You briefly mentioned wear patterns at the end. Might you consider a video discussing the "pros & cons" to various wear pattern? I am starting to run and after about 6 months notice that the inside of one shoe, at the back of the heel, the shoe lining is starting to wear through the back of the shoe. Is the shoe too small? The other side is not showing this wear. Keep up the great work, you are the greatest, in my opinion. ;)
Very helpful video. Thanks. 🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘♥
thank you guys... next time i can choose the righty type for me as I am a neutral arch or supinator. or may be in the middle.
Good Information about the shoes and feets...
Just got into a pair of New Balance 1540 V3s... While I now look like my Dad, they are definitely the right shoes for my foot shape and hip and ankle issues, and i now understand why they are rhe choice if snior citizens. Sizing down and going up to a wide width has been the game changer. I'm a very tall guy and my feet are very short and very wide which is strange. In a standard Nike i wear a 12 and in a wide New Balance im a 10.5. I'm done with the regular shoe store and will only be shopping wide from now on. Just gotta find something that looks age appropriate now lol.
Really helpful thank you
awesome video ! Thanks Guys!
Wow, I really learned a lot from this video. Now I know how to find the correct shoe. Thank you both for the information.
I have crazy high arches, and I love max cushion shoes even for fast days. It might be because of you what you said in the video. I also notice in the running world, there's generally some shoes everyone loves for daily training across the board. Hoka Clifton 6 and 7, Nike React Infinity Run Flyknit, and New Balance Rebel just to name a few. Everything is going to higher stack height, more cushion, but lighter shoes. I guess the infamous Nike Next% and Alphafly marathon shoes are the perfect example.
I do too, and I switched from a Nike Revolution to the React and the reason I liked the switch was because it feels more flexible. I wasn't ready for minimalist shoes, but I wanted something that would allow my foot to do its natural thing, and the Revolutions felt too stiff. Also, the Reacts are are really great for getting used to running more on the front and mid-foot because of the angle on the sole. It's been helping me run and power walk with better form. When I'm walking only or for casual walking, I use the other ones. I also started wearing toed socks with a snug fit and it's made a great difference.
You guys are coworker goals
Best channel!
awsome video !
thank u
Awesome men awesome knowledge awesome review on shoes awesome show
Bob and brad are so adorable together
I was thinking of buying running shoe.I found video just in time,
omg, that jingle....great, now i'm humming it around the house,,,lol
By the way was shopping for sneakers in DSW just yesterday and saw a bunch of Nike wide width styles...
You are great men.
Knowledgeable video
I walk with flip flops or if I can barefoot. Grounding has so many benefits. I'm 73 & have a super source of energy.
Great info but you need to address the following:
The different types and quality of inserted orthotics, how age and weight affects plantar facitiatis and the arch, how PF. Thanks
I dont run, i have had several severe ankle sprains and have found out it mostly happens with shoes that have flared and thick chunky rubber on the heals. In The thinner more flexible soled shoes i am able to feel the divots or places on the ground i am stepping. In the chunky bottomed shoes i cant feel the ground, step in a divet, or crack in sidewalk and roll my ankles. However i have flat feet and plantar fasciitis and find the thinner shoes make my feet hurt. But id rather have sore feet than sprained ankles.
Brad’s flexibility is impressive! Raising my foot that high would’ve caused cramps in my glutes.
Maybe it isnt hard for him since he's tall like a tree
There's something about the decor that makes this vid look like it was shot in the 90s. I'm getting a Seinfeld vibe, lol. You two are awesome, thanks for the info! Been wanting information like this for a looooong time! I will learn, TY!
I have started getting right heel pain on prolonged walking . It’s not hurt in morning . It hurts back of the heel not the usual place as u mentioned in ur videos . I have flat foot with little arch Not sure my heel pain is plantar fascitis or a pronator problem or osteoporosis
I am fairly flat footed and have planters fasciitis bad in both feet as well as sever right heel pain. I walk on hard surfaces all day and up out of my delivery trailer. I am looking for a good supportive shoe. Have you ever heard of KURU shoes? They have memory foam in them with xtra heel support. They say you need to "break" them in, pretty pricey as well imo.
I am looking for a (running) shoe for standing all day (work). Are running shoes a good option and which general principles should I follow in making a choice? I liked the New Balance u showed in the video, which model are they? Thank you
Ps I need a wide shoe accomodating for a slight overpronation
Altra shoes have a wide toe box and zero drop. So anyone looking for a great shoe then Altra Esscelante are brilliant.
Thanks
Alta lone peaks 5’s are very popular for thru hikers ( less blisters, wide toe box, shaped like a foot , not pointed on the front ) last about 500 miles. Zero drop so they take some “ ball of the foot landing/ training “ . If you do a lot of running other shoes will be better, even though these are called trail runners. I found Nike and New Balance were the equivalent of eating fast food to your feet.
interesting!! Thank you for sharing
Good vid!
Hi Bob & Brad, love your videos. I have a question. I have been told by a podiatrist I have high foot arches, but they have recommended me to use shoes with a rigid sole (like the Brooks one in your video). My own favourite shoes are the ON Cloud running shoes (which have quite flexible soles), but have added in “arch pillows”. So I am a little confused now. Could you advise? Thanks in advance.
What does it mean if you have pain in the inside part of the arch?
Ohhhh thank you for this. Running shoes are expensive and I’m afraid to buy them. Hopefully this helps me!
I was very happy with ASICS tennis shoes when I ran 5K races
Have you done a video on forefoot running? Pros , cons and benefits
hi Bob hi Brad thank you for your amazing videos. just one question I can't see. among your past videos relating Varicose Veins. also these shoes are they adequate. to wear? some ideas. what else can be helpful. I am considering a surgery what is your thought alternative to try please thanks alot
This has some really great advice, thank you :)
I left a comment on one of you're shin splint videos and I would love your input.
physicaltherapyvideo thank you for the reply on my other comment :]
For me the Sketchers 'go walk 3' did it. I always preferred shoes that didn't restrict me too much (like converse chucks). But because of crazy heel pain I needed something comfy to walk in. And these little guys are just like walking on clouds. They are relatively loose because of all that softness and the air circulation is terrible (sauna from hell on hot days). But the softness and free space to move my toes make it so worth it. I can even go sightseeing in them. Impossible otherwise. I have them for two years now and I will need new ones, but they really are worth the money if walking hurts you. Maybe it's just me, but they did save me (I was hysterical from pain before I found them).
Me too
My mother has rods in her one leg which causes her foot to twist, what.shoes are best for her at age 75?
I have sketcher and they are great if you have pain. Totally agree.
