No two feet are the same 👣
Your foot shape, arch height, joint mobility and strength all influence how you move. That’s why footwear isn’t one-size-fits-all.
Top picture: Maximalist shoes (think high stack height and lots of cushioning) can reduce load and impact, but they may also subtly change foot position and how your muscles work.
Bottom picture: Minimalist shoes allow more natural foot motion and muscle activation — but they also place greater demand on your tissues.
Depending on your biomechanics, training load and injury history, one style may suit you better than the other.
The right shoe isn’t about trends — it’s about what works for your feet 👟
If you are interested in what shoe suits your foot and biomechanics, then book an appointment with one of our podiatrists today!
