Common questions about adapting to more natural footwear:
Q1: About how long does it take someone to transition to more natural or zero drop shoes?
A) While most people adapt easily for casual wear. It's different for athletic activity. For example, the average runner gets some calf tightness for about 3 weeks IF they go to a zero drop shoe with the SAME cushion level they're used to. That falls to about a week if they get MORE cushioning than they had previously. You can use something like Bridge Soles (www.prgear.co/products/bridgesoles) to make for a smooth transition and for whenever you have any issue with the feet or calf areas. Adapting to a non-cushioned barefoot style shoe takes about a full year for the average runner.
Q2: Are there any warmups, exercises, stretches, etc. that helped with the transition?
A: Two best exercises: 1 - One foot balancing with the heel 1/2" off the ground. Do this religiously with and without shoes. 2 - Do 30 seconds of barefoot running at the beginning or end of your runs and and 30 seconds every few days as long as everything feels fine. From a research perspective, foot strengthening is statistically (242%) the best way to reduce running injuries. Build your landing gear!
Q3: Once you made the switch, do you only run in zero drop, or do you switch back and forth for different shoes, conditions, etc.?
A: It's a good idea to switch back and forth for the first few months to a year. Many people find they love having their foot in natural position with the toes able to splay, etc. and go to wearing more natural shoes full time.

Somebody get this man a closet full of foot-shaped (not shoe-shaped) shoes and Correct Toes stat! Add in a Myostorm Meteor heat/vibration ball and some Naboso insoles while we're at it....
Note: Studies have shown that nearly all shoes have a tapered toe box that bends the big toe inwards and cuts down blood flow by 29%. Additionally, most athletic shoes have about 1/2" of heel elevation, which has been shown to decrease blood flow to the foot by 22%.
Deion Sanders at risk of losing left foot to amputation “As you know I’ve faced some medical challenges with my foot but I’ve never said ‘WHY ME’” Sanders captioned a video clip posted to his Instagram. “I’m CoachPrime and I’m built for this.”

The RICE method is a popular protocol for treating injuries. But did you know that the guy who created the RICE method has since recanted his original stance?
Research has shown that ice will actually delay healing. Ice constricts blood vessels leading to a low-oxygen environment that hampers healing. Ice also suppresses the release of IGF-1, a hormone that plays a crucial role in the healing and regeneration of muscles and other injured tissues.
Ice can help with symptoms of pain by numbing the local nerves, but it won't help you to "heal quicker."
So when it comes to healing an injury, is your goal to alleviate symptoms as quickly as possible? Or is your goal to heal optimally and completely?
Read more about the RICE method, anti-inflammatories, and injury healing in our blog post from Dr. Andrew () here: https://correcttoes.com/foot-help/r-i-c-e-is-wrong-healing-injuries-by-dr-andrew-wojciechowski-nd/
Plantar Fascia sufferers, there's some vital information here! And the met pad in Bridge Soles will help with blood flow by helping to gently spread the toes apart. Of course, we also recommend pairing with Correct Toes. See https://prgear.co/pages/plantar for more in depth!
