I can do that properly on the balls of my feet no problem. What have been struggling with is walking. I still heal strike when I walk. I know it&#8217;s because of bad form and 25years of walking incorrectly.<\/p>\n<p>I found this excellent video that really helps explain why my walking form has been bad and how to correct it. I&#8217;m making this post so I can go back to it.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Walk ( forefoot\/midfoot )\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/g_1RRFXdI44?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>More information on the windlass mechanism &gt; https:\/\/www.physio-pedia.com\/Windlass_test<\/p>\n<p>The shoes I am using currently are the Merrell Trail Glove. They are great but causing me a bit of heal pain because i am heal striking. On tonigh&#8217;s walk I cheated and put my superfeet arch supports in and that was MUCH better. But I don&#8217;t think it is solving the gait problem and instead is just making it easier.<\/p>\n<p>I was going to try a pair of Merrell Bare Access Flex 2 tonight. But the size I ordered was a size to small. I&#8217;ve noticed in my aging that most shoes even in 13 wide do not have a big enough toe box. The Trail Glove&#8217;s were 14&#8217;s. I sent back the Bare Access Flex 2 so I can get a 14. But before i do im going to work on the gait<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been having problems with proper shoes and my feet for over a year.
