I need to find a company that'll make wide toe box, zero drop work boots. Extra points if they are laceless.
Red Wing Ropers? They’ll custom fit for you, it’s not cheap though.
Thanks, I'll take a look. I've never owned Redwings due to price.
They’re also able to be re-soled so the long term cost of ownership might be about the same as others that cannot. You’re feet are worth it, bad fitting boots can lead to foot deformity, cause you to alter, your gait, change your posture and ultimately cause joint pain in your back and elsewhere.
Ugh. It’s always question marks and commas with me on a phone keyboard.
First company that makes protective boots that align with human biology is gonna crush
I have sketches (inspired by armadillos and old school knight armour which was super mobile and protective) and material lists but don’t have the capital or energy to fight that battle right now.
Will give it all to the first company I come across that is seriously considering developing a boot
Huge potential to serve first responders, tactical and military
Dude, that's sick.
I appreciate you doing that work (among all the other work you do). I'm not the one to take the helm on that, but I hope someone does someday. As a tradesman I'd be so happy to find that product.
So much work to fix my feet, just to be forced to spend 8 to 10 hours a day in cramped work boots.
What are your thoughts on Hoka?
Not a fan. The cushioning and stiffness have bigtime consequences on movement quality and foot mobility over time. It’s like a comfy couch for your foot - feels good for a period of time but if you sit on a couch all day your body will be stiff, weak and injury prone when you get off the couch eventually
Xero Shoes. Vivo Barefoot. I am never going back.
Also, zapped
Flat footed squatting can correct this too
