The MOVEMENT Movement

I'm going to give you some negative advice, how to not pick a good running shoe on today's episode of The MOVEMENT Movement podcast.  I think it's important to know how not to do things in order to inform how to do things. Even when I'm teaching people how to run naturally or run barefoot, I'll often have them exaggerate bad patterns because that way it really highlights what that pattern is and makes it easier to start doing something different.  I'm Steven Sashen from XeroShoes.com, your host of The MOVEMENT Movement podcast, where we're creating a movement about natural movement.

What shoes did Jesus wear? Or Moses or Muhammad or Buddha? Well, we're going to take a look at that in today's episode of The MOVEMENT Movement, the podcast where people will want to know the truth about what it takes to have a happy, healthy, strong body starting with the feet first, because those things are your foundation. We explore the propaganda, the mythology, the outright lies, that sometimes people have told you about what it takes to run or walk or hike, or do yoga or CrossFit or whatever you like to do for fun, and to do it enjoyably and efficiently and effectively. And did I mentioned enjoyably? Yes, I know I did, but that's the most important part. If it ain't fun, do something different till it is.

Alright, let's talk about the cost of shoes. So you can buy shoes at all different prices, obviously, anything from just a couple of bucks at Walmart or Target, to hundreds of dollars. I'm not going to be talking about the kind of collectible shoes, the way people line up for days to get the newest pair of Air Jordans and trade them, there's a secondary market for that. It's like investing practically. I'm going to talk about things that you wear every day, all day.
