We put our feet tonight or today 23 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,600 or the morning wherever you are. It is just me. 24 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,800 It's going to be so Lepa. Sewed with Matt thought, dr. 25 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,000 Klein, whatever you want to call me. 26 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,700 It doesn't really matter as long as it's relatively respectable. 27 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,600 It's just going to be doing another solo episode tonight. 28 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,900 And I've got some thoughts and hopefully don't ramble too much 29 00:01:25,900 --> 00:01:29,500 because I'm a little exhausted. I just got back from the 30 00:01:29,500 --> 00:01:30,800 combined. Action meeting for physical 31 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,500 therapy is a great experience, just a little exhausting, 32 00:01:33,500 --> 00:01:35,300 because I've had a sinus infection the whole time. 33 00:01:35,300 --> 00:01:37,400 And it's raging and it's getting better. 34 00:01:38,900 --> 00:01:40,700 I am a little overwhelmed at the moment. 35 00:01:40,700 --> 00:01:42,800 So you're going to get an interesting combination of 36 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,600 thoughts because I am in the middle of PhD data collection. 37 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,300 I'm taking a third board certification board specialty 38 00:01:50,300 --> 00:01:52,900 certification in a week which is probably mistake, but we'll see 39 00:01:52,900 --> 00:01:55,000 what happens. We're doing a systematic review 40 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,900 with for the third time to try to get it published and try to 41 00:01:58,900 --> 00:02:00,800 do this at the same time. Enjoy the heck out of it. 42 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,700 I just want to say before we get started and before we dive into 43 00:02:03,700 --> 00:02:05,600 something that I hope is very helpful for everyone. 44 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,199 That I am immensely thankful. Not only for the people that 45 00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:12,900 watch, listen, read whatever medium you digest, this 46 00:02:12,900 --> 00:02:15,800 material. I'm immensely thankful that 47 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,800 people follow us and have learned and have been really 48 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,400 positive and I really appreciate that. 49 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,800 There's been good feedback, but at CSM. 50 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:28,200 It was a really cool experience to be stopped in the street or 51 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,500 in the conference hall or get Sized and for people to say it's 52 00:02:32,500 --> 00:02:35,800 really cool what you're doing and I, you know, this started a 53 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:40,000 long time ago. Just me not knowing if anybody 54 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,900 would ever care and just was hope. 55 00:02:41,900 --> 00:02:47,100 I was hoping that I could provide something that would 56 00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:49,800 give people a glimpse into. What my journey was try to 57 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,100 understand what I was putting on my feet was helping my body and 58 00:02:52,100 --> 00:02:55,200 hope it, hopefully helping them along in that same Journey. 59 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,300 What do they were a consumer and putting a running shoe, whether 60 00:02:58,300 --> 00:02:59,800 they were Elite? What do they were? 61 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,400 A former developer turned to trying to make better shoes and 62 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,700 do their job. You know, it trying to learn is 63 00:03:05,700 --> 00:03:08,100 really what it comes down to. So I appreciate this and I want 64 00:03:08,100 --> 00:03:11,600 people to know that we don't have all the answers and we're 65 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,700 trying to learn just like everybody else and we appreciate 66 00:03:13,700 --> 00:03:17,800 you following Along on this journey and that's kind of where 67 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,800 I want to take you right now because we're all, this started 68 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,800 is talking about running shoes and figuring out what works for 69 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,300 you, what doesn't work for you. So my journey on this started in 70 00:03:28,300 --> 00:03:32,400 PT school and Beyond there before that, excuse me, when I 71 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,200 was working in running stores in college, and even before that, 72 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,200 in high school, when I jumped into running nose, like, hey, 73 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,700 the major tool that you have during running is a pair of 74 00:03:40,700 --> 00:03:42,300 running shoes, right? There are other components like 75 00:03:42,300 --> 00:03:43,900 shorts and stuff like that, which is different story. 76 00:03:44,300 --> 00:03:47,000 But it's the really the main interaction between yourself and 77 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,800 the ground is a pair of shoes and as someone who is immensely 78 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,500 curious, but also maybe a little hypersensitive found that that's 79 00:03:55,500 --> 00:03:58,700 not the right word, but it was just like hyper aware of what I 80 00:03:58,708 --> 00:04:01,100 was putting on my feet, the for Coming to my body as I was 81 00:04:01,100 --> 00:04:03,100 getting used to running, I was like, what the heck am I putting 82 00:04:03,100 --> 00:04:05,500 away feet? And a lot of the stuff I found, 83 00:04:05,500 --> 00:04:07,700 I didn't like because I don't really have any guidance when I 84 00:04:07,708 --> 00:04:09,700 would go into a running store, they were just going hey, you 85 00:04:09,700 --> 00:04:13,100 pronate this amount, this is the shoe you need and that's kind of 86 00:04:13,100 --> 00:04:16,200 going on this old model, which I'll call the plumber. 87 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,700 The by mechanical model, the pronation model that suggested 88 00:04:19,700 --> 00:04:24,100 that we should be fitting shoes based on how much people pronate 89 00:04:24,100 --> 00:04:28,000 that was the industries for the longest time, attempt, to 90 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,900 categorize shoes and categorize people. 91 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,400 People and where they should be, and anybody that worked in a 92 00:04:34,408 --> 00:04:36,900 running store, that was really thinking about this and 93 00:04:36,900 --> 00:04:39,200 exploring, some of the robotic can tell you that, that really 94 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,300 did not work. And I can tell you somebody who 95 00:04:41,300 --> 00:04:43,700 was put in that pronation category, that found the. 96 00:04:43,700 --> 00:04:46,200 I hated all the stability shoes, they suck. 97 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,100 There's a couple light stability one's about time. 98 00:04:48,100 --> 00:04:51,700 We're really cool that seemed to work better but I was not doing 99 00:04:51,700 --> 00:04:53,500 super well. I went to the extreme was 100 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,600 exploring Barefoot, Minimalist Shoes and probably took that a 101 00:04:56,608 --> 00:04:58,600 little farther necessary and jumped into quick. 102 00:04:58,600 --> 00:04:59,900 So there were some injuries obviously. 103 00:05:00,500 --> 00:05:03,600 But just kept going, I was back and forth, just trying to 104 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,400 explore and find something that worked for me. 105 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,100 And I you know, never, I don't know if I ever found a perfect 106 00:05:10,100 --> 00:05:11,100 show. I think there are moments where 107 00:05:11,100 --> 00:05:13,600 as perfect, not realizing that our bodies change with time. 108 00:05:14,500 --> 00:05:17,400 But I don't want all of you to go through that. 109 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,200 Same thing, I want you to get to your answers quicker, which is 110 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,500 part of being a teacher. And Professor, which is I'm a 111 00:05:22,500 --> 00:05:24,700 full-time Professor. I know I want my students to be 112 00:05:24,700 --> 00:05:27,900 better than me, and I want them to get where I am faster, so 113 00:05:27,900 --> 00:05:31,400 they can take that farther and that's That's exactly where I 114 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,400 want to try to take you and we're not going to get that in 115 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,300 20 30 minutes. But I'm hoping to expose you to 116 00:05:37,300 --> 00:05:39,200 some Concepts to get your brains thinking. 117 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,500 They're because if I can help you think and if I can help you 118 00:05:41,500 --> 00:05:44,100 process, what's putting you're putting on your feet. 119 00:05:44,300 --> 00:05:46,500 I think I'm gonna be able to help you figure out what's going 120 00:05:46,500 --> 00:05:48,300 to work better for you. Because you've heard us say 121 00:05:48,300 --> 00:05:53,400 before shoes are tools, a different tool is going to work 122 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,100 differently for a different person. 123 00:05:55,300 --> 00:05:57,100 Right? Some person, your neighbor or 124 00:05:57,100 --> 00:05:59,400 your running buddy is going to like this shoe and you may or 125 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,400 may not like that. That's okay because you have 126 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:06,100 totally different bodies assume. So, that's okay. 127 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:10,000 So now that we know, the sum of the, by mechanical models, don't 128 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,500 work. And I say that because we have 129 00:06:11,500 --> 00:06:13,900 evidence that a lot of them, don't always work that these 130 00:06:13,900 --> 00:06:16,500 models, you know? Hey, we will try to correct this 131 00:06:16,500 --> 00:06:19,000 motion especially when it comes from a pain type model. 132 00:06:19,300 --> 00:06:22,500 We know that just because we put you in certain thing, doesn't 133 00:06:22,500 --> 00:06:24,200 necessarily mean. Your pain is going to change 134 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:25,800 just because we alter biomechanics. 135 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:30,100 It might, it might not pain is not just a physical component. 136 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:34,700 It's a very complex conversation that is beyond the scope of a 137 00:06:34,700 --> 00:06:38,200 20-minute conversation, but is the topic of my power, my 138 00:06:38,300 --> 00:06:41,900 presentation with students on Monday tomorrow, which that is 139 00:06:41,900 --> 00:06:46,400 going to be a very intense lecturer and maybe it's a little 140 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:47,800 rougher Monday. Now they're going to deal with 141 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,300 it. I bring them coffee so they can, 142 00:06:49,300 --> 00:06:53,800 they can handle this. So we know that especially when 143 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,600 it comes to injuries and pain. The biomechanical model doesn't 144 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,400 always work. We do know for exhibit but we do 145 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,400 know sometimes it does work. We know that for people that 146 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,000 have a history of pernicious related injuries that oftentimes 147 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:10,300 a little bit of support and some pronation modifying mechanisms 148 00:07:10,300 --> 00:07:12,900 is probably the best way to say this like a medial post or some 149 00:07:12,900 --> 00:07:17,300 of those other components can reduce injuries for people that 150 00:07:17,300 --> 00:07:18,300 have had. That history. 151 00:07:18,300 --> 00:07:21,200 Does it mean that eliminate them, but it can reduce the 152 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,500 incidence Is of them but not always right? 153 00:07:24,500 --> 00:07:27,300 So there's and there's other things that don't match that 154 00:07:27,300 --> 00:07:30,200 other injuries that are probably that may or may not respond to 155 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,000 those things in the inconsistencies. 156 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,400 Also the fact that certain people you put them in a posted 157 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,600 shoe and they are. There are there amount of 158 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,400 pronation doesn't actually change right? 159 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,300 It continues on through whatever device you put, we found that 160 00:07:42,300 --> 00:07:44,500 with heel counters and certain measures that we thought they 161 00:07:44,500 --> 00:07:47,700 would lock the heel in. It doesn't necessarily change 162 00:07:47,700 --> 00:07:49,100 your internal he'll motion, right? 163 00:07:49,100 --> 00:07:52,100 You'll keep moving. People were perceive Eve, and 164 00:07:52,100 --> 00:07:55,300 they'll say, this feels better, but their motion won't 165 00:07:55,300 --> 00:07:57,400 necessarily change, and that's where we're having an issue. 166 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,500 We're seeing the same thing in the world of medicine as well. 167 00:08:00,500 --> 00:08:04,600 Where people will say, I feel this difference, I feels better, 168 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,000 it doesn't feel as painful but then by mechanically you may not 169 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,500 see a change those things. Don't always match. 170 00:08:10,500 --> 00:08:14,300 So what does that mean? That means that our perception 171 00:08:14,300 --> 00:08:17,200 of the world doesn't always match. 172 00:08:17,700 --> 00:08:20,000 What is happening physically or by mechanically? 173 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,600 And that's not a bad thing. That's very Well known that's 174 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,500 that, you know what? That the sensory system, right? 175 00:08:25,500 --> 00:08:28,300 The system that everybody that takes up and figures out? 176 00:08:28,300 --> 00:08:30,300 Hey, what am I feeling? What's going on, what's 177 00:08:30,300 --> 00:08:31,800 dangerous? All these different components 178 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:36,000 there doesn't always match the, the physical characteristics. 179 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,700 That's why, you know, on an extreme and that's why we have 180 00:08:38,700 --> 00:08:40,700 things like, hallucinations it sometimes happened. 181 00:08:40,900 --> 00:08:43,000 That's why we can have things like Phantom, limb pain, where 182 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,700 you can have sensation paying for something that's not there, 183 00:08:45,700 --> 00:08:49,900 which is very real by the way. That's there's not always a 184 00:08:49,900 --> 00:08:52,600 connection there and this is a A really round about way of 185 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,000 probably making this more complicated. 186 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,000 For most of you are trying to listen about geeking out about 187 00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,800 shoes for me to kind of introduce why I think the Run 188 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,600 cat Footwear Comfort scale is one of the best things to come 189 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,100 out. Recently is something that I 190 00:09:05,100 --> 00:09:08,800 think about consistently and for those people in running stores 191 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,400 or those that are medical professionals trying to fit 192 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,100 people for shoes. I am really going to encourage 193 00:09:14,100 --> 00:09:16,800 you, if you have the time, so not always feasible and I get 194 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,000 that as someone who's worked for Kaiser Permanente and some other 195 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,200 institutions where it kind of you like, Gotta move. 196 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:27,700 I think it's a really great way for for to learn two things. 197 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,800 I think it's great for you as the clinician to be able to have 198 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,800 this thing. Get some subjected explanation 199 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,700 from the patient in addition to hopefully your objective testing 200 00:09:35,700 --> 00:09:38,700 about going, hey how is the person receiving this you when 201 00:09:38,700 --> 00:09:40,900 you put them into sugar when they get a shoe on because we 202 00:09:40,900 --> 00:09:44,700 often forget to really reassess how the person feels sometimes 203 00:09:44,700 --> 00:09:46,300 people just put them in the shoe and go, this is great. 204 00:09:46,300 --> 00:09:48,500 This is what you need by, you know, you got it. 205 00:09:48,508 --> 00:09:51,000 Like this is the big thing about becoming a master whatever you 206 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,400 do. You got to A test and retest see 207 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,600 what happens. You got to problem, solve math, 208 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,100 you know experts don't just get there by oh, I know this, it 209 00:09:59,100 --> 00:10:02,400 happens through repetition of testing and seeing and keeping 210 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:07,000 an open mind or what happens. The same thing happens for the 211 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,500 person. The patient, the, the runner, 212 00:10:09,500 --> 00:10:13,000 the whomever the person who's testing the shoe, it's equally 213 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,900 important for them to see get some visual feedback when they 214 00:10:15,900 --> 00:10:18,600 mark this scale because the nice, it's nice that, you know, 215 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,700 a nice line visual skill. That you can kind of Mark and 216 00:10:22,700 --> 00:10:24,400 see where do things go. We'll dive into this a little 217 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,700 bit more so it's both parties get to learn from this and get 218 00:10:27,700 --> 00:10:31,100 to pick up some patterns and realize, hey, maybe the shoe 219 00:10:31,100 --> 00:10:32,900 works for me. Maybe it doesn't. 220 00:10:32,900 --> 00:10:34,800 What about this shoe works? What about it? 221 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,400 Doesn't that's a good. Those are great learning 222 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,300 opportunities, because there is no perfect shoe. 223 00:10:39,500 --> 00:10:41,400 There's different shoes that are going to drift work differently 224 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,000 for different people. But each person can you kind of 225 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,300 needs to learn what's going to work? 226 00:10:45,300 --> 00:10:47,500 Well for them. And that's part of this journey 227 00:10:47,500 --> 00:10:51,100 and we'll try to make this complicated because this is just 228 00:10:51,100 --> 00:10:52,500 what Happens. You gotta get your up, said 229 00:10:52,500 --> 00:10:55,200 somebody who's a new Runner. You got just get in a store if 230 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,200 you can and try a bunch of things on see what you like, see 231 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,400 what you don't go. Run it, go test it to see was, 232 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,700 you're running to that match. What you tried on the store? 233 00:11:02,700 --> 00:11:05,700 Was a different be open to that and learn from a go. 234 00:11:05,700 --> 00:11:06,800 Oh that didn't work. Let me go. 235 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,600 Try this one. Oh that was great. 236 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,000 Put that one your brain. That's great. 237 00:11:11,100 --> 00:11:13,100 You know, it's the same thing for all those of us who are 238 00:11:13,100 --> 00:11:15,400 trying to learn this stuff and it can be challenging when 239 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,100 you're trying to review shoes and I'm as always ask myself, am 240 00:11:18,100 --> 00:11:20,100 I doing a good unbiased job of this? 241 00:11:20,100 --> 00:11:23,300 The true answer is Was going to be a little biased but that's 242 00:11:23,300 --> 00:11:25,600 why I encourage you to see all over different. 243 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,500 Reviewers going who do you tend to Matt? 244 00:11:27,500 --> 00:11:30,500 What are your tastes match with who to your taste mapsource? 245 00:11:30,500 --> 00:11:37,200 I'm sorry, it's 9:00 I'm 17. Give me a break so the Run cat 246 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,600 is a scale that was developed by Christopher Bishop down in 247 00:11:40,608 --> 00:11:43,400 Australia. Who did a phenomenal phenomenal 248 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:48,000 job of developing the scale and it is again, it's called The Run 249 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,000 cats called The Running Footwear Comfort assessment. 250 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:57,400 Tool and it he they took his group, took 19 different items, 251 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,200 that describe different components of the shoe and and 252 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,100 how it might feel. And fit what have you? 253 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,000 And they over this. Three-stage process were able to 254 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,800 distill this thing down to four main components with the fifth 255 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:12,100 and being overall shoe comfor. And I will tell you and I should 256 00:12:12,100 --> 00:12:14,800 have published this as an additional outside. 257 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,300 But as a validation or reliability testing that when I 258 00:12:18,300 --> 00:12:21,000 was in my, I was in my the didactic, the school part of my 259 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,000 PhD. Program. 260 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,500 I was taking a survey class, which I thought was a waste of 261 00:12:24,500 --> 00:12:26,500 time because I was just interested in biomechanics was 262 00:12:26,500 --> 00:12:29,400 like get me in the lab. This has been a repeated Story 263 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:30,900 by the way. Any time I say this is probably 264 00:12:30,900 --> 00:12:33,200 going to be useless is probably gonna be a super helpful and 265 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:34,800 eye-opening experience which this was. 266 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,600 And I was like, hey, I see the Run cat just came out, I'm 267 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,500 arrogant, let me I can do this better. 268 00:12:40,700 --> 00:12:42,300 You know what? I can't do it better. 269 00:12:42,300 --> 00:12:47,200 I absolutely bombed and struggled and had to not only 270 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,000 went through this process trying to create my own but had to 271 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,800 really had to go back. Back and then understand why 272 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,800 this how long this takes how complicated as they had a really 273 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,700 good number of subjects but it also the amount of work that 274 00:12:59,700 --> 00:13:02,700 went into validating those for what might seem like, simple 275 00:13:02,700 --> 00:13:05,000 things is actually incredibly important. 276 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,800 So Chris if you ever listen to this phenomenal job that was 277 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,700 absolutely awesome. It's really, really cool to see 278 00:13:13,700 --> 00:13:15,900 this and to have put this out in the world. 279 00:13:15,900 --> 00:13:21,800 So thank you for doing that. It's as mentioned, there's Leaf, 280 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,200 four major components that come from this and it's also 281 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:25,800 available. If you look up run cat you will 282 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,000 find it online. The full article, you need to 283 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:33,400 probably purchase or have some subscription to from like a 284 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,000 either subscribing to the journal which I'm trying to 285 00:13:36,008 --> 00:13:39,100 remember what the journal and I feel stupid if this journal for. 286 00:13:39,100 --> 00:13:41,500 Yeah though it's Journal of sport Sciences have a script 287 00:13:41,500 --> 00:13:45,600 written or university access or get your buddy or person that 288 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,600 you know, do you really did get that access but the the simple 289 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,200 document that has the components on it. 290 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,600 It is available and I would encourage you to download it 291 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,700 because it was it's released in a very user-friendly way. 292 00:13:56,700 --> 00:14:01,200 They have stuff like person name, ID hide body, mass shoe, 293 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,000 size, all kinds of stuff like that difference between left and 294 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:04,700 right. It's great. 295 00:14:05,100 --> 00:14:08,300 So the four components that they did to set. 296 00:14:08,300 --> 00:14:10,100 And again, this is not like a scale, like you measure your 297 00:14:10,100 --> 00:14:12,900 foot or whatever. This is a perception, right? 298 00:14:12,900 --> 00:14:15,800 What is your perceived comfort of these different things on a 299 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:21,100 scale, a scale going from, you know, a very high level or two 300 00:14:21,100 --> 00:14:23,600 of Low level and not necessarily good or bad. 301 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,000 And that was what I really enjoyed and it really helped me 302 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,700 think differently. So the for things outside of 303 00:14:28,708 --> 00:14:33,200 shoe Comfort is heel cushioning for foot cushioning, shoe, 304 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,000 stability, and for flexibility and under pizzas. 305 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,900 Again before you get all, you know, he's, you know, it's 306 00:14:37,900 --> 00:14:40,100 probably like more heel cushioning more for for 307 00:14:40,100 --> 00:14:43,800 cushioning super stable. It was actually a long lines of 308 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,600 does it feel good for you? Right, is good. 309 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,100 Being is good. In the middle. 310 00:14:49,500 --> 00:14:51,200 Does it feel like the heel cushion? 311 00:14:51,300 --> 00:14:54,200 Ting. Did it feel to firm on one end 312 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,700 or too soft? So one side of the scale wasn't 313 00:14:57,700 --> 00:14:59,800 necessarily good. It was trying to find out for 314 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,400 you or your the individual trying to help. 315 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,200 Where's the optimal level? Which I thought was really cool 316 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,000 because that's we're trying to find because I've always said, 317 00:15:07,100 --> 00:15:11,000 you know, more is not better, less is not necessarily better, 318 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,500 it's finding that perfect balance for the person. 319 00:15:13,500 --> 00:15:14,700 So let's talk about heel cushioning. 320 00:15:14,700 --> 00:15:17,400 First, when they were talking about this they said, hey when 321 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,400 you're when you're a standing or whatever in the shoe you should 322 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,000 be standing, don't do this. Sitting standing running but 323 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,600 again you should be running a standing running on the same or 324 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,800 walking whatever using the shoe for when you're putting the shoe 325 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,800 on and you are putting pressure through the heel. 326 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,700 How does that cushioning feel does? 327 00:15:35,700 --> 00:15:40,000 It feel too soft or does it feel to firm or if you're going to 328 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,300 put this thing right in the middle? 329 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,700 Does it feel just right? And you're looking for that, 330 00:15:43,700 --> 00:15:47,400 just right level, that's great. Right there is certain people 331 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,700 love, super soft heels. Some people really don't some 332 00:15:50,700 --> 00:15:52,800 people like a little Little more firmness, I tend to like a 333 00:15:52,808 --> 00:15:55,100 little bit more balanced. I don't like it being so stiff 334 00:15:55,100 --> 00:15:57,100 that my heels her, but I'm like it being so Michigan. 335 00:15:57,100 --> 00:15:59,700 It's unstable. So it's finding that optimal 336 00:15:59,700 --> 00:16:01,500 balance for you. If you can find that boom, you 337 00:16:01,508 --> 00:16:04,800 got a feeling that, you know, you know, my work for you and if 338 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,000 you feel another shoe, hey, that might be something that works. 339 00:16:07,500 --> 00:16:09,500 The second thing was the same concept for the forefoot 340 00:16:09,500 --> 00:16:12,000 cushioning, so under the ball of your foot, and have the Brooks 341 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,400 died 11 here. If onto the ball of your foot, 342 00:16:15,700 --> 00:16:17,900 how does the cushioning feel same concept? 343 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,600 Is it too soft? Is it too firm or is it the And 344 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,100 we're on that scale. Does that fit? 345 00:16:23,100 --> 00:16:24,700 Isn't on one side is in the middle. 346 00:16:24,900 --> 00:16:27,100 How good is it? Same thing for, for cushioning 347 00:16:27,100 --> 00:16:30,700 to me is pretty important. I've had some metatarsal issues 348 00:16:30,700 --> 00:16:33,100 in college and I was really experiment Barefoot stuff. 349 00:16:33,300 --> 00:16:35,500 So I like a decent amount of forefoot cushioning. 350 00:16:35,700 --> 00:16:38,200 That's just me though. Other people like might not. 351 00:16:38,300 --> 00:16:40,200 So that's another really important thing. 352 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:41,600 So you got the, how does it? He'll feel? 353 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,300 How does the forefoot? Feel the third thing is, how 354 00:16:44,300 --> 00:16:47,700 stable does this shoe feel? And as some of the some of you 355 00:16:47,700 --> 00:16:51,900 that listen to this or watch your read most Know that I need 356 00:16:51,900 --> 00:16:54,300 a little bit of stability and that's why I've talked about the 357 00:16:54,300 --> 00:16:57,000 concept of stable neutral is that you don't always need a 358 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,400 post. You just need to make sure the 359 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:03,800 shoe is stable for you and that means not too flimsy but also 360 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:08,000 not too rigid because too rigid can be just as problematic as to 361 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,700 unstable and that's exactly where the scale goes. 362 00:17:10,700 --> 00:17:15,900 Is hey, is it not stable or is it too rigid or is it just 363 00:17:15,900 --> 00:17:17,099 right? And your again, you're looking 364 00:17:17,099 --> 00:17:19,000 for a just right? Level that kind of gets slightly 365 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,200 off topic on this. That's why I really like 366 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,800 Constable stable Duty because a lot of the side walls is up like 367 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,700 that instead of shoving your foot and certain way. 368 00:17:25,900 --> 00:17:29,600 It really just tries to help support you and try to keep you 369 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,600 in the middle rather than trying to force you to certain 370 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,700 direction. And how much of that you're 371 00:17:33,700 --> 00:17:36,600 going to need is going to be very dependent on you as a 372 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,100 person and it might vary to the last thing. 373 00:17:39,100 --> 00:17:42,400 They talked about was talking about 4 foot flexibility, when 374 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,000 you, and again, this goes back to our stuff talking about 375 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,500 McLeod, the different levels of forefoot, stiffness. 376 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,600 More flexibility is not better. Less flexibility is Honestly 377 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,200 better is what level of stiffness or flexibility is 378 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:56,600 going to work. Best for you, does it feel 379 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,000 comfortable and it should feel comfortable and you should when 380 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,100 you put the shoe on you like, wow, it feels pretty good. 381 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,200 That's a good sign if you like it, feels not so good. 382 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,900 That's not a good sign. So it could be two flexible too 383 00:18:06,900 --> 00:18:08,800 stiff. So when you roll off, that 384 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,800 thing, what's it feel like? And the final score, the thing 385 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,200 was the overall Comfort, right? Which is kind of really 386 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,200 important to start thinking about, how does the upper fit? 387 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:22,100 What's that like? And yeah, so, I think, is it 388 00:18:22,100 --> 00:18:23,800 comfortable? Is it not comfortable? 389 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,900 The upper should fit really well on your foot? 390 00:18:26,900 --> 00:18:29,200 You shouldn't feel things. Rubbing on your foot in this day 391 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,400 and age, you really shouldn't have to break in things a lot 392 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,500 because their companies actually spend development money. 393 00:18:34,500 --> 00:18:36,200 Trying to figure out how to make it feel good on your foot. 394 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,800 The second, you put it on, you know, this it, the upper should 395 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,200 fit nicely your foot. Things got more flexible, more 396 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:43,900 adapted. It should. 397 00:18:43,900 --> 00:18:46,400 It should almost feel like you're not wearing anything. 398 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,800 If you notice a lot of stuff, they're in a bad way. 399 00:18:49,300 --> 00:18:51,100 Maybe not something you're gonna want to worry about you. 400 00:18:51,300 --> 00:18:53,500 In a want to consider. But if it's just like, hey, this 401 00:18:53,500 --> 00:18:55,800 thing disappears off my foot, this is a comfortable shoe. 402 00:18:55,900 --> 00:19:00,000 Boom, you're pretty good to go. So again just to recap heel 403 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,300 cushioning, how's it feel under your heel for for cushioning? 404 00:19:02,300 --> 00:19:06,900 How's it feel on your forefoot stability house that does? 405 00:19:06,900 --> 00:19:09,400 It feel is just feel just, right? 406 00:19:09,500 --> 00:19:11,400 Is it? It's not to say it's not too 407 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,300 rigid. It's not too, it's not too 408 00:19:13,300 --> 00:19:15,400 unstable. Is it just right as a keep your 409 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:19,000 foot where you want it to be? And then what's the the forefoot 410 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,000 flexibility? Can you roll off the toes Die? 411 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,000 Slow. It feel good is too rigid. 412 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,400 Is it the stiffness that you want? 413 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,400 So you could pop off, you know, the pop off the toes. 414 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,800 I'm sorry. And then, finally shoe Comfort, 415 00:19:29,900 --> 00:19:31,300 especially when I would encourage people to think, 416 00:19:31,300 --> 00:19:34,100 about, the upper, and how does it fit your foot? 417 00:19:34,100 --> 00:19:38,800 How's that feel up there? And these four five items again 418 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,600 for people that haven't done survey research. 419 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,800 It's really hard to get there. They did this several times in 420 00:19:43,808 --> 00:19:46,400 these 19 items you got to put all these stats through this 421 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,100 reassess it over and over and over and over and over again. 422 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,700 And they came up with These four, five things and it might 423 00:19:52,700 --> 00:19:55,400 sound simple, but there's a lot of complexity in finding that 424 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,200 simplicity. So enjoy it. 425 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,600 So, take that. And so if you are trying to 426 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:04,100 learn what shoes work better for you, this is a great place to 427 00:20:04,108 --> 00:20:05,900 start. Yes, you have resources like our 428 00:20:05,900 --> 00:20:08,500 website will tell you, hey, this fits like this feels like this. 429 00:20:08,500 --> 00:20:10,700 But how do you know what's going to work for you? 430 00:20:10,700 --> 00:20:13,100 We don't necessarily if we try not to say hey this is a good 431 00:20:13,100 --> 00:20:16,900 thing, some biases are certainly going to come out where I'm 432 00:20:16,900 --> 00:20:18,700 going to get really excited about a shoe and I have to be 433 00:20:18,700 --> 00:20:21,000 aware of that and try to redo it and be a little bit more. 434 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,800 Active, but there's always a subjective component is always a 435 00:20:23,808 --> 00:20:25,700 bias. So that's where I really 436 00:20:25,700 --> 00:20:28,100 encourage you to get to know that and work with it if you're 437 00:20:28,100 --> 00:20:31,900 looking for yourself or others because it's a great tool to 438 00:20:31,900 --> 00:20:35,400 start recognizing some patterns for either patients or yourself 439 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:39,900 and some of some people might get upset as I am becoming a 440 00:20:39,900 --> 00:20:43,300 bomb back in this as my PhD is in biomechanics and I'm looking 441 00:20:43,300 --> 00:20:46,700 at the biomechanics and the strength factors had Masters 442 00:20:46,700 --> 00:20:49,500 Runners. Don't understand what how the 443 00:20:49,500 --> 00:20:53,400 their changing bodies are Seeing their injury rates and injury 444 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,400 types, and if there's any relationship there. 445 00:20:56,100 --> 00:20:59,300 And yeah, so I study biomechanics, I study the 446 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,500 objective physical components, but you have to recognize that. 447 00:21:03,500 --> 00:21:07,000 As I mentioned earlier, those physical things don't always 448 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,900 match with our perceived Comfort. 449 00:21:09,900 --> 00:21:16,100 They don't always match with the feeling of a shoe and we know 450 00:21:16,100 --> 00:21:19,400 that the more comfortable shoe is, the more likely it is to 451 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:20,700 work for a person. That's probably because they're 452 00:21:20,700 --> 00:21:22,900 more like the We're in for shoes doesn't feel good, you're not 453 00:21:22,900 --> 00:21:24,200 going to put it on your feet, right? 454 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,400 So there's some other factors there, but there is good 455 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,100 evidence, suggested that Comfort is a really, really good 456 00:21:30,100 --> 00:21:32,300 predictor of whether shoes are going to work and people have 457 00:21:32,300 --> 00:21:33,800 been looking for years trying to go. 458 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,700 What, how do we prescribe shoes? If this pronation model doesn't 459 00:21:36,700 --> 00:21:38,700 work all the time, then what do we do? 460 00:21:38,700 --> 00:21:41,300 And that's where, you know, those like been donated talked 461 00:21:41,300 --> 00:21:43,900 about the Comfort filter and the movement and the preferred 462 00:21:43,900 --> 00:21:46,500 movement Paradigm. And, you know, this seems to be 463 00:21:46,508 --> 00:21:48,600 the big thing I can tell you from being at the combine 464 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,100 section meeting for physical therapy, the really good. 465 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:55,700 Talks really emphasized looking at the individual and it's hard, 466 00:21:55,700 --> 00:21:57,000 right? Because it's much easier to go. 467 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,800 Oh, blanket statement everybody does this, that's not how it 468 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,100 works because we are all very different. 469 00:22:02,100 --> 00:22:04,600 We're all very different, how we perceive things and what works 470 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,000 for us again? Like I said, I'm aware of that. 471 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,800 I always think about that when I'm running reviews going. 472 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,300 I hope this helps people and, you know, that's why it's also 473 00:22:12,300 --> 00:22:14,600 lots of review sites. If you find that ours don't work 474 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,400 and you want to look at some read somebody else's, works 475 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,000 better for you, do it. Because at the end of the day, 476 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,500 our website is there to share. Are things that help you learn. 477 00:22:22,500 --> 00:22:24,600 If you get something, if you learn something new about it and 478 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,100 then helps you figure out something figure this out from 479 00:22:27,100 --> 00:22:28,400 somewhere else. That's fine. 480 00:22:28,700 --> 00:22:30,600 You know, it's about helping you on this journey. 481 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,900 But just remember that perception, and biomechanics 482 00:22:33,900 --> 00:22:36,600 don't always match. So for those of running stores, 483 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,300 you need to recognize that you're going to see people come 484 00:22:39,300 --> 00:22:41,400 in that have super high-arched feet. 485 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,800 And you've been told no, no no, don't give that person pronation 486 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,400 stuff and they're going to be like I want my Keanu. 487 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,000 I want my Brooks piece. You like this? 488 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,000 Shouldn't work for them and they'll put it on in there, man. 489 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,400 Annex look exactly the same. You like how does that work? 490 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,700 It's because there's more variables at play that we can 491 00:22:57,700 --> 00:23:01,200 often recognize and it takes a lot of experience. 492 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,700 Start learning how to put all those pieces together that I'm 493 00:23:04,700 --> 00:23:07,500 still working on. You know, from a biomechanical 494 00:23:07,500 --> 00:23:11,000 model, there's lots of variability and how humans react 495 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,600 to surfaces some people will react very stiff to certain 496 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,400 Services. Some people will have a lot more 497 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,700 Mobility to a softer from surface. 498 00:23:20,100 --> 00:23:23,300 People will also See those same surfaces very differently. 499 00:23:23,300 --> 00:23:25,700 That's why you'll see reviewers. Some will say this shoe feels 500 00:23:25,700 --> 00:23:28,400 super firm and they're like, oh, that feels a little bit softer, 501 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,400 some of us descriptive, but some is also people are actually 502 00:23:31,700 --> 00:23:35,600 experiencing that differently because their perception is 503 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,000 going to be real to them, but it may not match, whatever 504 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:40,900 durometer. You might be putting in the shoe 505 00:23:40,900 --> 00:23:42,900 because there's a lot of variables that go into that 506 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,800 things like the sensory receptors and their feet, all 507 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,300 the neurons that go and solder joints and that that I help you 508 00:23:49,300 --> 00:23:51,600 go. Hey, when I land Quick as my 509 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,100 foot moving, what do I feel under my foot? 510 00:23:54,300 --> 00:23:56,700 You know how quickly does the cushioning compress? 511 00:23:56,700 --> 00:23:59,400 What do I feel from the insole that's going to be different 512 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,200 from different people. And I'm not trying to complicate 513 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:02,800 this or scary? Oh, I'm just saying that's how 514 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,300 it goes and that's why you'll see some variations of 515 00:24:05,300 --> 00:24:06,900 reviewers. It doesn't mean that what we do 516 00:24:06,900 --> 00:24:09,600 is reviewers is useless. It means that you need to take 517 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,200 that with a grain of salt and try to apply it to you, right? 518 00:24:13,300 --> 00:24:16,600 So sensory perception is really important for trying to figure 519 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,700 out what's going to work for people and all kudos. 520 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,000 To the the running companies. The Try to figure this out 521 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,900 because you've got to make a shoe that tries to work for as 522 00:24:25,900 --> 00:24:28,500 many people as possible because at the end of the day, you want 523 00:24:28,500 --> 00:24:29,800 to make a cool product for people. 524 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,700 But you also it's a business you want to sell shoes. 525 00:24:32,700 --> 00:24:37,100 You re want these to not suck. So how do you figure out how to 526 00:24:37,100 --> 00:24:39,300 make these work for the largest population as possible? 527 00:24:39,300 --> 00:24:42,000 So what you do is when you're where tested, you get this big 528 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,500 sample of people and you try to get this, you know, and hope 529 00:24:45,500 --> 00:24:48,200 that you get you average out all the responses over the we're 530 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,900 testing, you try to put and try to find the average because 531 00:24:50,900 --> 00:24:54,100 that's the only metric you can think of and you try to go, hey, 532 00:24:54,100 --> 00:24:57,800 you know, what's this average or this this, you know, what's her? 533 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,100 My looking for this spread of data here, kind of in the middle 534 00:25:01,100 --> 00:25:03,200 here? You know, what is up? 535 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:04,700 These people were all saying this. 536 00:25:04,700 --> 00:25:07,400 So here's where, you know, this is where the shootings to go, 537 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,000 but the problem is what this average right here. 538 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,000 Is saying, does this represent the variation that people 539 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,700 expand, which is why it's okay that there are tons of running 540 00:25:16,700 --> 00:25:21,000 shoes, people often get overwhelmed with choices, but 541 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,600 When you when there is that much more choice, that means you just 542 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,500 need to learn better about what works for you and it just, you 543 00:25:26,500 --> 00:25:29,200 know, it's not trying to put it like, it's your fault. 544 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,300 I'm saying it's an opportunity for people to learn and this 545 00:25:32,300 --> 00:25:34,600 some people may say this is too complicated because like I just 546 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,500 want to get these shoes on and go for a run. 547 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:37,700 I don't want to worry about the stuff. 548 00:25:37,700 --> 00:25:43,700 I got enough stuff on my plate which I get but it it is worth 549 00:25:43,700 --> 00:25:46,000 investing a little bit of time and trying to figure out what 550 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,400 works for you and that the other, you know, because she's 551 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,700 changed and for those that I've been around for a while, you've 552 00:25:52,700 --> 00:25:55,100 already seen massive changes, but also know that it's very 553 00:25:55,100 --> 00:25:57,100 common, that companies will change their models of the 554 00:25:57,108 --> 00:25:58,200 models. Won't be the same. 555 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:02,200 So, it's a good idea to practice this a little bit, not only so 556 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,400 you have a good idea of what to figure out when your favorite 557 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:08,900 shoe changes, but also because your body is going to change 558 00:26:08,900 --> 00:26:10,900 with h. The only ever heard the phrase. 559 00:26:10,900 --> 00:26:15,200 The only constant in life is change and if you're not able to 560 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,400 adapt to that, that's going to be difficult. 561 00:26:17,500 --> 00:26:19,800 I tell you this as a jury at your clinical specialist, I 562 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,300 study older. And I treat a lot of older 563 00:26:22,300 --> 00:26:25,100 individuals, our bodies change, it doesn't mean you can't 564 00:26:25,100 --> 00:26:27,000 continue doing what you want to do. 565 00:26:27,300 --> 00:26:30,100 You might have to change some of your expectations or modify your 566 00:26:30,100 --> 00:26:32,400 training to ought to work with your body. 567 00:26:32,700 --> 00:26:36,000 But things are going to change and your Footwear changes might 568 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,300 your Footwear preferences might change. 569 00:26:37,300 --> 00:26:40,300 We know that feet tend to change quite a bit, one of the common 570 00:26:40,300 --> 00:26:42,400 things. My wife is 16 17 weeks pregnant, 571 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,500 right now and her feet are changing quite a good bit of her 572 00:26:45,500 --> 00:26:47,500 fit preferences or foot preferences. 573 00:26:47,900 --> 00:26:51,900 Oh my gosh, it's late shoe preferences are changing And 574 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,700 that's just what happens as our bone structure changes with some 575 00:26:54,700 --> 00:26:58,300 of the hormones that are going through her body as some of the 576 00:26:58,900 --> 00:27:01,900 biomechanics of her body change. As some of her ligaments are 577 00:27:01,900 --> 00:27:04,800 changing their laxity because of the hormone, relaxin, what's 578 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,400 happening. It's a little little elderly 579 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:10,300 side for that, but there's changes that happened with 580 00:27:10,300 --> 00:27:11,700 pregnancy. There's changes that happen with 581 00:27:11,700 --> 00:27:13,000 age. There's things that happen to 582 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,000 us, you know, injuries experiences positions. 583 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,200 You know what, we have to sit now that we have to get used to 584 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,900 it to walk all day. Change is constant. 585 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,500 And for that reason, I would encourage you to take a couple 586 00:27:24,500 --> 00:27:27,300 seconds to look over the Run cat and ask yourself. 587 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,700 How does this apply to me? Are these things that I you 588 00:27:31,700 --> 00:27:33,300 assess what? I'm putting a pair of shoes on 589 00:27:33,300 --> 00:27:37,500 because I can courage you and I can almost promise you if you 590 00:27:37,500 --> 00:27:39,900 can learn this. Well it'll make things faster. 591 00:27:39,900 --> 00:27:42,800 You don't have to spend endless time to store going like what 592 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,400 she was this what you you'll know and you'll have better 593 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:49,200 ideas it going. I've seen that for foot before 594 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,500 and I know that doesn't always work for me but I'm going to try 595 00:27:51,500 --> 00:27:52,300 it. Nope, didn't work. 596 00:27:52,300 --> 00:27:57,100 So now another another little feather in the cap to no, I know 597 00:27:57,100 --> 00:27:59,700 that better. So I'm just trying to encourage 598 00:27:59,700 --> 00:28:03,100 you to be open to learning. I can tell you with all the 599 00:28:03,100 --> 00:28:04,600 stuff behind my name, all the things I've done. 600 00:28:05,100 --> 00:28:07,600 I'm still trying to learn, that's why I'm psycho or stupid 601 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,800 enough to be taking another board exam that is not necessary 602 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,400 but I'm doing it just because I want to be I just want that 603 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:17,100 opportunity to get schooled to be humble to go. 604 00:28:17,100 --> 00:28:20,400 Oh I need to learn more by doing more specialty. 605 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,100 Is if I have the Opportunity to learn more. 606 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,800 So I hope that was helpful and I hope that was a little helpful 607 00:28:26,700 --> 00:28:28,500 brain dump of mine. If some of the stuff I was 608 00:28:28,500 --> 00:28:30,900 thinking about, I know we went over the Run cat really briefly, 609 00:28:30,900 --> 00:28:32,800 but I just wanted to talk about some of the things that are 610 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,000 going through my head about how do we perceive the world? 611 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,900 What is paid? You know, how to respond for, 612 00:28:39,900 --> 00:28:43,000 what is our sensory system doing in terms of how we, how we 613 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:44,700 perceive that world? How do we, how does that work? 614 00:28:44,700 --> 00:28:47,100 For a pair of shoes? Which is really cool to think 615 00:28:47,100 --> 00:28:49,500 about that.
