Have you taken the heel-pill yet anons?
Raised heel that actually stems from a time people were using mounting horses (to get the foot anchored into the saddle-thingy).
Long-term, these sort of shoes are harmful for your posture.

An elevated heel use creates all kinds of imbalances in the chain from toes+heel up to your neck (that neck hurting yet?).

Symptoms of Anterior Pelvic Tilt:
• Weak abdominals
• Weak hammies+glutes
• Tight lower back
• Lordosis lower back
• Lower ribs flaring outwards
• Shoulder slouching in to compensate for weakness found in lower parts of the body, weak rhomboids
• Nerd neck

Bruce Lee said the most important muscle was abs.
Semendemons love abs.

Anons who have taken the heel-pill, what are shoes that you'd recommend?

I know some shoes have 2-4mms of heel drop, I think CP Achilles low also have quite low heel drop. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Being fat is not effay, and anterior pelvic tilt aka Donald Duck posture makes you look fatter than you are.

So any nigger airmax shoe should be completely discarded forever and ever.

Wearing heals juts your ass out because it slants your pelvus, ask any woman who's worn heels too, which in turn shifts the entire rest of your body, from your feet to your knees to your back.

Hehe. I'm not a hippy anon. Just consider what I posted for a moment. Then feel free discard it if it isn't your cup of tea. I just think it makes a lot of sense. I switched over to flatter shoes like vans old skools and some other relatively flat items and I've noticed improvements.
Back in the d I used Air Maxs, Ultra boosts, NMDs the lot. Now my lower back feels a lot more relaxed. The boost sole also has a bouncy effect that feels super unnatural. I know this might seem anecdotal but once I dropped these sort of shoes, the tension in my right quad improved a lot. I also had some initial stiffness under my feet when I switched over to flatter shoes with less heel drop.

>heeled boot wearers don't believe in your body having a center of gravity, and think walking up/down a slanted hill doesn't necessitate your body to compensate as a result.

Have you ever walked on a slanted surface? Do you truly not think there's a difference in how your body compensates for doing such? Is a boots heel height not mimicking the exact same slant, but at all times? You don' t think your body is going to feel it different if you were to walk up or down a surface for a prolonged period of time as opposed to a flat surface?

Look, you don't have to like wearing zero drop shoes or the companies that make them, but you are definitely wrong in thinking that it doesn't make a difference in how your body aligns itself.

The amount of denial by heel wearers (from guys, not from women) is truly baffling.

I don't know about you and but I'm not magically inclined to stick my ass out and hunch my back if I walk down a hill. Can you really not maintain posture walking down a decline? That really doesn't make any sense to me. Do you also realize that the human body is probably the only animal that has 2 modes of ambulation? You can walk on your feel normally but you can also waly on your toes. You usually do it when running. If you can't walk on your toes while maintaining perfect posture then that's your personal issue.
So my question is if I can walk with perfect posture on my toes then what benefit do flat shoes present?

>> No.17228048

>>17228002
You're mistakenly equating ones ability to hold a straight posture with a posture that doesn't need to require the body compensate in order to do so.

I'm not saying that wearing boots makes people to not be able to VISUALLY stand upright. However, the body needs to compensate in other ways, and in other areas than the feet, in order to "maintain posture" as a result of standing on a slanted surface.

You are trying to argue against gravity...and you think that "perfect posture" simply means someone standing upright. The body is a complex anatomy, there is compensation that needs to happen in many areas for someone to maintain posture at ALL angles of surface walking.

>So my question is if I can walk with perfect posture on my toes then what benefit do flat shoes present?
Good grief, you are not understanding the argument here. If you're gonna find yourself walking on your toes for a prolonged period of time, do you or do you not think you're going to feel it different than if you were walking on ONLY your heels. It is the same principal, your body compensates in many and various ways to manipulate walking on any angle of surface.

By wearing a raised heel shoes/boot, your bodys 'default' state is one in which your feet are slanted forward, as if you were walking down a slight declined surface for as long as you are wearing them. Do you TRULY not think your body needs to compensate for this new 'defaulted' alignment?

That's exactly what was implied with the original write up but ok. This was the basis for me talking about perfect posture.
Yes the body has to "compensate" for the pure fact that it's not exactly the same. Despite that after repeated experiments on myself I simply don't feel compelled to have my posture crumble into what you originally posted. Just keep your body straight it's really not that hard. Like I said before humans have evolved to walk on their toes, it's natural.
I think flat shoes work because the people that wear them buy into the whole posture thing and put in a lot of effort to have a good posture.

Nope. What happens is your chest going about 1 cm back therefore the body straightens to keep the center of masses in the same place,

it's not ignoring that fact.
It's showing that the angle of the foot/ankle requires other areas of the body to compensate. When you make the "default" standing position as one where your feet are slanted in a direction, the rest of the body also needs to reposition itself to compensate for the new default position.

Pic related.
Human shaped toe box. Non-negotiable, this is a must for ALL shoes any shoe that doesn't have this should be thrown out as trash.
No elevation be it at the heel or the front. A good addition, certainly makes walking and running more comfortable when you can use a bigger range on your achilies tendon and have your heel drip lower with each step, rather than bumping into a raised surface in the back which hampers natural leverage.
Flexible shoes. Firm shoes impede movement, good shoes bend from left to right and from to back, you should be able to roll them up with your hands. Makes a big difference in terms of walking comfort when your shoe conforms to the uneven surfaces and your foot can balance based on that, or just the forward motion and bending in that direction.

I went minimalist shoes like 3 years ago and I'm never going back to normal shoes myself. Running is actually enjoyable, walking is comfy. I look at normal shoes like a savage practice, same as genital mutilation of baby boys.

I could go on, but I think you get the point.
Peoples feet are passively, slowly deformed. And for what? To save money? To have pointy toeboxes or rounded toeboxes?
It's fucking insanity that humans accept it, but because it's so widely spread and generally progresses slowly, it's outside the sight of normies.
Even I didn't fucking think about it for a long time, only when I seriously started running did I go "fuck this sucks, there has to be a better way" and running barefoot, while scrapped off some skin on my delicate sheltered feet, felt so much better in terms of mechanics.

But the thing that's least compromisable is the heel drop. I remember using Ultra Boost and they were SUCH garbage with the tiny toe box and the overly exaggerated toe-spring. The rubbery boost bouncing effect is also terrible. It literally makes you unstable.

flat without dumb raising of heels or toes
flexible so it conforms to your foot and the terrain
none to little padding that goes hand in hand with the above

And the proper width and length will still result in your toes being pushed inward because they made a retarded inhuman curve inward.
Look, I'v talked to people about this long enough to know that if you have a mindset of "noooo normal shoes are AHHH it's all fake, fakkee!" then there is not convincing you.

What shoes did you wear before? Legitimately curious because every barefoot shill I’ve met in irl only wore sneakers that were too small for them.

> And the proper width and length will still result in your toes being pushed inward because they made a retarded inhuman curve inward.

If you’re toes are being pushed inward then you have the wrong size. There is a difference between useable and unusable toe space which barefoot shills and normies do not seem to understand.

Okay, a clear point. I can work with this.
>Humans evolved to walk on the ball of the feet
Correct so far.
>therefore a heel drop is not automatically catastrophic to you.
I'm assuming you mean "heel drop" as in raised heel in shoes(who knows why the fuckers call it the inverse of what it is).
Here is the issue.
If you reduce the travel area your heel can travel before it hits a hard stop. You are essentially limiting the lever in your foot, that reduces the impact of your body weight hitting the ground in a gradual fashion, stores that energy in the tendons, and then releases that energy once the center of gravity of the foot shifts.
You can kind of think of it as having a spring.
Now, when you put a wedge under your heel, what happens i that you are reducing that travel distance. The tendons have less range of motion to slow you down, capture that energy and then release it afterwards.
So you take an elegant level design with elastic bands.
And turn it into a stump that makes less, or no use of the elastic bands.
Get it? The movement of the heel going up and down, the tendons stretching and pulling back.
That is lessened or removed because instead your heel is constantly resting on some wedge.

Yes, in either case your forefoot is hitting the ground, but if you remove the entire level system behind it and use your foot as a stump, the entire point is lessened or removed.

I use barefoot shoes regularly because they feel so comfortable for me and i really like the added stability at the gym. I have Feelgrounds Original Knit in black which i think are the most discrete barefoot shoes out there.
Having this said, despite my love for wearing them, they look like shit and every single other pair of barefoot shoes looks even worse. On top of that, if you wear these too much, your toes will spread an you won-t be able to wear decent looking shoes without pain.
It's basically a tradeoff between feeling good or looking good, i wish that wasn't the case.

precisely, but because they were used extensively in steep sections, specifically trails and running down hill, the heel gets some wear as well.
If not for that, the wear would be only on the forefoot.
Oh camber of the road/trail can also affect things if it's repeatedly biased towards one side.

There is like 40-50 off-brands on amazon.
It should be around 30-50$
Just search for minimalist. There is small variations in tread pattern, shape, rigidity of the top part of the shoe and so on. Look around see if you can find any options that look decent. I assume all of them are of similar quality, though obviously I haven't tried them all.
Exact brand probably means nothing, as quality can change. Even the same brand but different shoes, the quality can change.
Even the same brand, the same shoe, the quality can change over time, as they use shittier materials for example.
So I don't believe in advertizing any kind of brand or model.
Only concepts of what a good shoe should be.
Whatever you find in your country that offers that at the cheapest price, is probably what you should get.

Oh last mention, the shoes I use are dry only. They let airflow through easily so I only use them in dry conditions or in snow, but never while it's raining or wet snow.
If you want minimalist and in wet conditions, you probably will have to pay more for a more quality brand that does a closed system shoe, rather than open and breathable top mesh.

There is no exact model. They're literally all the same construction. They mix up the molds for the outsole rubber to switch it up. Just get whatever's cheapest.

b-but I just explained that you shouldn't get hung up about exact model as there is many different kinds with small varriations. Look based on price.
Make sure the bottom of the sole doesn't have water holes in them.
That the toebox is good, that is flexible and that it has the right size for you, then find the cheapest one.
You can also choose tread patterns and how much rigidity the mid section has, some have only cloth, others have some plastic.
Some sit on your feet a bit more secure, others have more flat/wide bottom sole.
Again lots of variations, take a look for yourself.

those ones, have that more firm center line in the sole, that I don't like. See how it's not a flat shape all around? But instead bends in? This is not a desirable quality in my opinion.
But it has a more firm mid section at the top of the foot that holds the shoe more firmly in place which is important at higher speeds of running.
These aren't bad by any means, just they aren't perfect in my opinion because of that sole being made narrow for no reason.

Aaaah yeah yeah I get what you mean. Do you know if there's any research on this particular aspect of the underpart of the shoe? I mean filled width vs. lean. I remember being explained by a foot-expert that the way weight is distributed is that it start at the heel (if you're walking (only forefoot if running)) and it then moves from the outer part of the foot, following all the way up the curve to the first bone of the smallest toe, goes through the row of toes over to the other side of the toe row and the ball of the foot. Like a smooth gradual motion.

>Aaaah yeah yeah I get what you mean. Do you know if there's any research on this particular aspect of the underpart of the shoe? I mean filled width vs. lean.
Research? No. But from personal experience I can tell you I preffer the flat sole that doesn't have artifical narrowing in the sole. So if you are running slowly, I would take the design on the right.
If you are running fast, then having the shoe fit more securely is important and the shoe design on the left is better.
Ideally I'd have a flat bottom, but something to tighten it on the top, a combination of the two, but I haven't found such options on amazon yet.
>>17233359
Feet actually have two vectors of turning that does to mitigate the impact.
Forward and back, when you flex your foot forward and back.
And from side to side. Suppination and pronation.
Your foot progresses both from forefoot to your heel touching.
As well as your outside foot making contact with the ground first, and then your inner side landing as well.
There is a reason we have so many bones, tendons, muscles, etc there, the foot does some complex stuff to both be conforming and soft in one moment, rigid and stable the other to push off, and to keep us stable even on uneven terrain.
