Have you ever wondered why some shoes have a thick heel, while others are completely flat? It’s all about something called “heel-to-toe drop”!
Traditional shoes often elevate your heel, subtly tipping your body forward and potentially affecting your natural alignment from head to toe.
But zero-drop shoes mimic walking barefoot, allowing your heel and toes to be on the same level, which helps your body align naturally, just as nature intended.
This flat design encourages a more natural midfoot or forefoot strike when you walk or run, reducing the jarring impact on your joints that often comes from heel striking.
By letting your feet work naturally, zero-drop shoes help strengthen the muscles in your feet and lower legs, improving your balance and overall stability.
While transitioning might take some time for your muscles to adjust, for many, the benefits of improved posture, stronger feet, and a more natural gait make zero-drop shoes a game-changer!
