Want to make an architect jealous? Show them the anatomy of the human foot. This thing is a cathedral of design brilliance with twenty-six unique bones and 112 ligaments, the human foot isn’t just the foundation of your physical structure, it can move in nearly infinite ways to accommodate the demands of your activity and your environment.
While the conversation around our general detachment from the world around us with big, fluffy, weird shoes isn’t new, it’s still relevant. DEUCE is a school of human movement and most every movement we’re here to teach you is going to demand some awareness and ability to root into your feet.
Every athlete you can name is a worse athlete while standing on a mattress.
So, why would you?
If you’re going to lift, jump, run, and move dynamically, it’s going to make your life hard if you can’t connect to the floor. After coaching countless students to be stable while standing in unstable shoes, I’ve got to ask you to look down at your feet.
Are your shoes helping you connect to the floor (or hurting)?
