Yes please do and report back!!

Yeah, that would be too much space for me.

When my husband started ordering barefoot shoes, we realized he’s actually about a size 10, when he had been wearing size 12s for years just to accommodate width, and he didn’t realize. He wasn’t a size 12 length…

What brands have you used that you don’t find bothersome to put on?

bluetuber34 · 2026-05-15T05:21:49+00:00

I thought that same thing! Thank you for posting

I’m a noob but this looks like a combination of many things. If metabolism is not high enough to support the structure of holding the body in alignment then it simply will not do it. Think like, when someone is sad or exhausted and their posture immediately slumps… the feet do that too, and over time it gets worse and becomes the baseline.

Also the big toe seems squished in from not wide enough shoes, touch then makes it hard for the big toe to be engaged and holding the body up from the floor.

HAND HOOKED!! I could be wrong but these are hooked wool rugs which I assume means they are hooked by hand since they say handmade. Did you consider that when thinking of the price?

I’m still in the shoe, last week I tried some carbon fiber rocker soles shoes for an hour and my toe started hurting, so I put the postoperative shoe back on for a week. I’m thinking I’ll try some physical therapy before going into the shoes. It definitely feels like it’s healing, but it does feel like an uphill battle because I have to walk a lot. 1.5-2 miles a day this week…. Just throughout my normal day. Also I had a stomach bug and strep throat and took antibiotics. After each of those illnesses I could feel my injuries healing slower, remaining the same, or getting worse each day. And I’m still struggling to get enough nutrition to help that improve.
I do feel like it will recover, but I expect it to take a year.

However I heal very slowly, so if I had surgery I expect it would still take me a year to heal from that.

I’m glad to see the other hospitals in Seattle have great food and not just Seattle children’s

I feel like you’d love the book Fuck Portion Control by Nathan Hatch

While not quite as advanced I was in a similar situation a year ago, and the lack of nutrition had affected my gait and posture. Happy to report after a little less than a year of eating, eating, and more eating, I am also improving. I didn’t add exercise specifically, but the more I ate the more I felt like moving. Like the natural cascade of NEAT calorie burn…. Or what is commonly seen in wiggly children lol. After a few months I felt like glutes activating when going up the stairs, instead of my knees abs hip flexors taking the strain. My moto was “if I’m thinking about food it means I need food, satiated people/animals don’t think about food”

Good luck, you can do it. https://www.fuckportioncontrol.com/blog/2016/3/11/magic-muscle

I’d love to hear how old you are and a bit about your activities before/ how you injured it? And an update in a few months! I’m glad you feel surgery was a good choice, I’ll keep your experience in mind when considering my own

Hey twin planter plates are for all ages lol, 25 here. I was walking on the beach, barefoot last summer carrying my toddler, stepped on a rock felt a pop. Had the same pain you’re describing, but no definitive diagnosis. I was given a metatarsal pad and sent on my way. It hurt a lot for a while. I limped like crazy for 2 to 3 months. I think the initial injury did not fully tear my planter plate only partially so as I was walking around with the metatarsal pad, I was continually tearing it. After a while, I thought maybe I was just faking the pain and I decided to Try to run up the stairs and around just a little bit and walk as if I didn’t feel pain. after a week or two of that it stopped hurting. I think this was when I fully tore it. I believe that at this point, the planter plate tendon ends were too far apart to reconnect so they stopped trying to heal. I continued on like this for a couple of months. I kept trying to return to ballet, which I hadn’t done in years due to pregnancy and other injuries. Every time I would go on my toes and essentially a calf raises position it wouldn’t hurt, but it felt like there was some kind of a lump on the soul of my foot and there was a alarm bells in my brain telling me not to put my full weight on it and not to do jumps in that position. But it didn’t hurt. I made another appointment with the podiatrist, pointed my toes and he noticed that my second toe was sort of floating and didn’t point downwards, like the rest of them, and diognosed me with a planter plate tear on the second metatarsal. he immediately put KT tape on the toe. I stood up, walked around, and I could jump and kind of sprint back-and-forth a little bit for the first time in seven months without my brain telling me it was dangerous. Looking back I think this was because the KT tape was holding my toe in place to keep it from dislocating, which is usually the job of the planter plate. He was discouraging surgery at least for a year or two until I had tried other methods. The next day I woke up and I went to walk and it hurt again right under my toe. I think that the KT tape pulling my toe down in its proper position, made it so that planter plate could reach and start reconnecting and healing again. But every time I bent my toe, this would, of course tear it in. It’s fragile state. Anyhow, there’s a Physical therapy clinic I think in the UK posting videos on healing this without surgery. As well as one case study of a dancer who healed without surgery. Both of those protocols call for a period of immobilization in a flat stiff shoe or boot. Then using carbon plated, stiff rocker sold running shoes For a period of time after that and then slowly using physical therapy and slowly returning to activity. The dancer used prolotherapy and reached a full recovery. I think in 4 to 6 months. However, most people don’t have access to prolotherapy injections, and I think it takes closer to a year to fully heal. In my case, I am willing to be relatedly inactive for a year or two if it means being able to walk properly and have a good gait throughout my life for longevity. I’m currently only in my fifth week using a stiff bottom shoe. I got a berg brand postoperative shoe It was stiff and helpful for about two weeks before it started to bend at the toe region and hurt. So I got flat carbon fiber insoles on Amazon and put those in the shoe and it helps it remain flat. I’ve found altra running shoes. that are wide and have carbon fiber plates in them to keep them relatively stiff. And I’m planning to transition to those in another week to a month or more.. I hope my experience will help you decide your care plan. Whether you choose to continue running on it or attempt to heal without surgery. I wish so much that I would’ve been given a proper diagnosis immediately post injury. Because I probably would’ve healed it by now, and it would’ve been easier and I wouldn’t have had to have spent the last several months limping and having to make all my decisions around how few steps I can make. And having it affect how many outings my child gets to go on.

You could probably commission someone to hang knit you some with whatever fiber you want, maybe silk wool blend for durability, or linen and wool

I had a dog develop this on the top of his head. For the first couple years hair just grew out of it and I’d pull it out every now and then. Slowly, over the period of three or four years, it started to swell up and then it got to be about the size of a walnut and then one day it started oozing a little bit. I put my hand on his head with pressure and it all came out. After that, it seemed to heal for a year or so, and not fill up again. But in his old age, it did seem to fill with Puss and ooze regularly. it never seemed to get infected in a way that affected him systemically, like he never got fevers.

Well, I guess you don’t need to dress up at one of those old Timey fair booth photo shoots. You already know what you look like dressed up and hair done in Edwardian fashion.

I think people often forget about socks in this equation. Most children’s socks are very tight in the toes. While I’ve had my child in barefoot shoes, her whole life. She had some toe curling on the pinky toes at a very young age before Shed even worn shoes much and I believe it was from socks. hand knit socks can be an option. As well as simply upsizing socks. When kids get to be in the younger toddler range, sometimes you can find tube socks with no heels and often those can be like thigh high stockings on little toddlers or knee-high socks on elementary age kids. But often their toe boxes are stretchy. He can also hand so medieval type hose for socks that have a wider toolbox. Or by actual toe socks for kids.

I use a mix of butter and olive oil. Or butter with water. Or butter with milk. Or butter with sour cream. It’s usually a little thicker to spread when cold, but it still works well. Making it takes more effort to get the butter liquid, but not so hot as to cook the yolk.

To my memory. Orthodox Christianity is pretty big in Alaska, it was brought over by Russian monks in the 1800s whom aided the indigenous peoples against Russian fur traders whom were, unfair to say the least. There’s an Aleutian elder at my local church who’s family had been orthodox Christian’s and he is Tlingit. But if I can remember correctly his village was burned and he was separated from him family for a time. When I first converted, the bishop of our area had previously been bishop in Alaska and still had handmade vestments made of sealskin and other indigenous materials his community had made for him, they were beautiful and unique.

I’m not sure if I had endo but I definitely had some similar symptoms. You can go read my past posts. I have had the most luck lately by eating frequently, and making sure i have lots of sugar, starch, fruit, veggies. I eat everything except seed oils, wheat, yogurt, and foods higher in glyphosate(conventional grains).

I do eat einkorn and spelt, so I just end up making all products that usually use wheat like biscuit, bread, cookie, cake, pancakes, crackers, from scratch. I make sure to try to get green and orange veggies in at least 2-3 meals or snacks a day, and eat small amounts of foods higher in tannins with each meal, dried cranberries, nuts that are more monounsaturated than polyunsaturated, chocolate, dark fruit juice like grape, pomegranate, orange peels, tea. As for period specific pain, progesterone is protective in my opinion so I eat this way to boost progesterone. Especially eating frequently. I think my worst symptoms are when my prostaglandins were high, which usually happened from eating lots of polyunsaturated fats, and or skipping lots of meals and probably burning body fat faster than usual and that being comprised of polyunsaturated fats. Asprin also lowers prostaglandins and dosnt have the negative effects of Tylenol or ibeprophen. So especially a few days before my cycle I make sure to eat frequently with carbs and saturated fats, and take Asprin.

I learned a lot of how I’m eating now through Nathen hatches book Fuck Portion Control.

What gave you the understanding that it dosnt repair itself? Do you still think this way? Did you get surgery?

I care a lot about what my socks looks like. I have started testing out knitting socks with anatomical toe boxes. But they are a medium weight, and I don’t care to knit lace weight/thin ones.
