## Caption

Your shoes have 26 foot bones locked in a cast for 10+ hours a day. Here's what that does to your knees.
You spend more time in shoes than you do sleeping.
ㅤ
Think about that. Eight to twelve hours a day, your feet are wrapped in stiff, padded cages that do all the work your muscles, tendons, and ligaments were designed to handle. Your intrinsic foot muscles weaken because they never get loaded. Your arches lose their spring because the shoe's arch support does the job for them. Your big toe, the single most important structure for balance and push-off, stops gripping entirely. And all of that weakness funnels straight up into your ankles, your knees, and your hips.
ㅤ
The fix doesn't require fancy equipment or a gym membership. This reel walks through four rebuilding drills you can do at home starting today: barefoot walking on hard surfaces, towel curls for arch and toe strength, alternating toe and heel walking for the tibialis anterior and soleus, and a toe-tucked heel sit to stretch the plantar fascia.
ㅤ
Save this for your next session.
