What they don’t tell you about always wearing those boat shoes
Transcript
Every day that your mom wears a shoe like this she's increasing her likelihood to fall unless research studies have shown us there's a huge correlation between toe strength and the likelihood that someone will fall. We also know that shoes like this with an upward curvature at the toe directly inhibits the activation of those toe muscles. Just because everyone's wearing them doesn't mean that's what you should be wearing.
