Body Fix

03/16/2026

I was asked to post my favorite running shoe. I have a few answers but my go-to that requires no transition (usually) is the Altra Running Escalante:
1. Wide Toe Box (natural toe splay)
2. 24mm stack height, not overboard
3. Flexible and neutral. If you needed to transition with external arch support you can use it and transition out as your foot gets stronger.

April 19, 1967. This is a pretty famous image as the race official for the Boston Marathon tried to physically remove Katherine Switzer at Mile 4.

Her mini entourage protected her and she kept running, 22 more miles with cameras in her face.

1. Thank you for your courage Katherine, because I grew up never once considering I couldn’t participate in the Boston Marathon due to my gender. 🙏
2. Let’s talk about their shoes 😏

Minimal ✅ Pointy, yes. But flat as F. They still ran like human beings, and they did so on asphalt for 26.2 miles.

They didn’t require a block of +30mm cushion under their feet, because they also weren’t slamming down on their heels.

Shoes have taken an almost comical turn in very recent years. It will be interesting to see the research and outcomes unfold on injuries related to massive chunky super shoes.

In the meantime, let’s just all be like Katherine. In lots of ways.

🧦 Toe socks!!! Don’t forget the thing that goes over your foot before the shoe! 👟

Yes it makes a difference. No we cannot ignore it. Yes you can still wear warm socks.

If I’m in a normal sock, I’m also wearing toe spacers. Do I need toe spacers to correct toe deformities? Negative. But I want to maintain the alignment inside of the sock.

If I’m wearing toe socks, I don’t need to wear spacers.

Tight socks 🧦 Toss those suckers out! 🗑️

One of my fav workshops to date. This group of triathletes from DreamFar were down for anything and everything. 🏊 🚴 🏃

Loved hanging out and teaching y’all a thing or two about 🦶 and 👟

Thank you for sending your fellow runners and triathletes my way.

If you have a team you’d like to get more involved with natural foot restoration, maintaining function and balance, AND also learn how to make this stuff fun, let’s set it up!

Minimal shoes are not all good shoes. Case in point 👆🏻 and made this barefoot-esque shoe checking all the major boxes of functional footwear. EXCEPT THE NON NEGOTIABLE… an anatomical toebox. 🤪🤪🤪 the point of the toe spacer between 1st and 2nd toes?? It’s doing nothing beneficial for your feet because of the majorly tapered toe. Just GO ALL THE WAY NIKE.

Anyone else get stopped and questiomed by TSA for your … twice? 😂😳 yes I suppose it does look like I’m concealing something.
