Hey Bob and Brad could you do a video covering the popular standing core exercises? Cable Walkouts & Cable Twists/Wood Choppers? It would be good to know if they are safe for your spine! Thanks
I actually know something about Morton's Neuroma because I've had it for a number of years now. Had to give up running after 35 years. But anyway, here are my recommendations - Altra (brand) sneakers. They are zero drop, foot shaped toe box, and come in different padding levels. Excellent. Also I highly recommend Birkenstock sandals - the sandals have a unique footbed that has a toe bar, it helps to raise the forefoot precisely where the neuroma's form and alleviates any pressure from that area. One more thing - I had a decompression surgery for it - don't waste your time with this. It doesn't remove the neuroma, they cut the ligament surrounding the area which supposedly gives more room for your nerves, so that you don't "feel" the neuroma - it now is supposed to have wiggle room. Didn't help one bit and took me a year to recover just from the surgery to get back to where I was pre-surgery. If you opt for surgery, just have the neuroma removed and live with the numbness you will get - (this is what some friends told me). So that's my two cents, hope it helps someone.
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing!
I had the nerve removed and it was the worst surgery I ever had and I’ve had plenty. Five months later it still hurts.
I also agree about staying away from surgery. I had a weil osteotomy procedure for my metatarsalgia condition. The outcome was even more foot pain, not less (and it's been 3 years).
Thanks for shoe selection.been searching for long time for appropriate pair
I suffered with pain and numbness in balls of feet for years and wound up in wheelchair for nearly 2 years because I could not walk on my feet without them swelling up. Found kybun shoes which got me starting to walk again. They have zero drop and thick soles to cushion each step and in half a year I was walking up to 1 mile. Found therapist specializing in feet who gave me exercises to strengthen feet and ankles. Also found company online called Naboso who has excellent educational videos and therapy tools. Currently working minimalist shoes into my daily lifestyle and never thought I would get here from the wheelchair.
What were some of the exercises that you did to strengthen your feet and ankles?
@@billbauer9795 Exercises include: Skater Lunge and Reverse Lunge w/slider, Ankle Band Everions, Arch Lift and Balance, Toe Curls, Toe Stretch on Wall, Calf Stretch and Neural Mobility Slump. Therapist worked on my ankles until I regained mobility then he released me, but I continue with the exercises. I carry spike ball and lacrosse ball with me to massage my feet if they get sore when away from home, soak my feet in epsom salt every night, scrape them with Graston tool and rub down with a CBD Balm. Each day I spend time wearing Naboso insoles in my VivoBarefoot Primus Lite III with injinji toe socks.
Seeing a therapist for my hip and have series of exercises for that as well. Also, I have been educating myself about fascia, how it holds our body together and allows us to move. From our toes to our nose, everything interconnected, which helps explain how things like acupuncture and reflexology could assist in healing.
@@thunderbird3694 Thank you so much! I will look into each of the exercises that you listed. Right now only the Calf Stretch looks familiar. It is always great to learn of new exercises to experiment with. My feet hurt constantly and podiatrists aren't helpful. I am hoping to find exercises that will eventually help to end the insanity.
Thanks for sharing
My podiatrist has the same shoe recommendations and they have greatly helped me. Hey, Bob! Your speech has improved greatly over the past couple of months. Hard work I feel certain!
Thanks!
Hoka shoes, the Gaviatti and Bondi have been life changing for me. I have Morton’s neuroma, plantar fasciitis, saddle arch deformity in the top of my foot, ball of foot callous and other problems. I am able to be active again with these shoes. I am taking walks again twice daily. Running had to stop years ago lol. But I have a nice wide shoe toe box for my toes to stretch out.
Do either of the Hoka shoes have enough depth to accommodate a custom orthotic without my toes feeling cramped? I tried a pair of Hokas once and even in the Wide width the toe box was too tight for me. Also, do you have Insertional Achilles Tendonitis?
I wore cowboy boots and steel toe work boots all my life until 2018 when I was out of work for 2 years. During that 2 years I started wearing tennis shoes.
When I finally got back to working, I quickly developed Mortons Neuroma in my left foot and it was excruciating because my job consisted of walking 8 to 14 miles per day - in steel toe work boots.
Nothing helped until I was able to get off my feet during the pandemic.
I still have some pain at times. But not as bad as it used to be. However, I am afraid that when I go back to work it will flare up again and make life hell on me.
Thank you for making this video.
I will try to find a pair of steel toe work boots which might not be so bad on my foot.
If you are willing to import them, there is the Birkenstock QS 700.
You're welcome!
I have this exact pain to the right of the spot where your green dot is. Is unbearable some days! Thank you for covering this. Feels like I’m stepping on a sharp rock everyday.
Hope it helps!
My goodness! I have been going to the podiatrist for over 6 months for this exact problem. Thank you so much for posting this tonight.
And he did not recommend shoes? Yikes! Mine did and helped a lot.
@@j.m.7056 Yes, I have two new pairs of shoes. Brooks and Avis both recommended by my podiatrist. Both have an elevated heel which he is saying is not good.
Our pleasure!
Bob speech is improving so much. Good information about shoes.I wear Xero shoes. Really helps.
Glad it helped!
Wow, thank u both so much for this episode! I have had this trouble with my foot and didn’t know what it was. Even my podiatrist wasn’t exactly sure, because it was so hard to explain the symptoms to him. Thank u for the great advice. I actually have those low to the ground shoes and toe spreaders, so now I know to continue on with them, and hopefully it will continue to improve. Thanks again. God Bless!
Glad we could help!
This is so helpful and will be for so many people thank you for this video
We're happy to hear that!
That's my whole lovely sneaker collection gone then *cry. Brilliant video Bob and Brad BABY!
Thank you Bob and Brad it’s so good to learn about your feet and where they hurt. And actually learn what we can do to help.🤗😊👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼❤️
Of course!
Great information B&B🥰learned something new and I’m very picky on the shoes.
Thanks!
My mom had that 40 years ago... from wearing safety shoes on concrete for many years. Her nerves between the toe bones was inflamed (the nerves were thicker than a pencil lead from inflammation), and the doctor did surgery to the worse foot. Shortly afterwards she had to retire from the job because her back was curving from the stress of lifting she had to do (She was SUPPOSED to have a man to lift the heavy packages over 35 pounds for her, per company policy, but they never followed their written policy and had to do the work herself). The foot that did not have surgery was soon fine after she retired, but the one with surgery hurt badly for the rest of her life.
Great information! I have Morton's neuroma and am seeing a podiatrist who recommended zero-drop shoes which I just got. But did not know about toe spring or toe spredders.
The more you know!
Thank you for this 👍🏻
No problem!
This info is very helpful to me. I’m having this issue after I broke my little toe bone that goes towards my ankle. Numbness and sometimes spasms when stretching my leg and foot. I will have to try this nifty device. Thank you guys for bringing this out to us! 😊
Of course!
Shoe selection is the most important. I love Altra and Saucony. I also had custom orthotics built by prosthetic doc. Unfortunately I still have the pain in forefoot area 2nd and 3rd toes. Brutal. As a nurse I find little time to get off my feet. Having the correct shoe and in my case orthotics too makes a huge difference. I have excepted reduced pain level verses what we all would a love pain free level.
Thank you Bob and Brad!
🦶🏃♂️🚶♀️👣
You're welcome!
These two are makings sense compared to my podiatrist!
Thanks for the note about Bob’s ataxia - guess it’s been a while since I checked out any of these videos. I was worried!
Of course!
I have custom made shoes with arches in them. They help me walk and stand up!
Thank you!
Happy to help!
I need more of these explanations for bottem foot pain.
Thanks!
You're welcome!
I have a different opinion based on my experience. When my shoe has more room for my feet to move, and it has no heel (like grey shoe you showed), my plantar fasciitis gets worse!🤔
Is Bob doing the “irigone” speech therapists exercises? That video was great. Thankful for the info on the feet. It’s really novel, Dr. McClanahan’s approach. Hoping the podiatrists making orthotics and doing surgeries are listening/watching. Fingers crossed.
Sure thing!
What if it is not actual pain, but progressively increasing stiffness and cramps like the front of my foot is being squeezed in a vise?
Dr said I had m. Neuroma. It feels more like a tennis ball. And now I have tendinitis too.
I have this problem through playing tennis. It comes and goes.
I have very flat feet. I have horrible pain in my right foot in the area you mention and when if it is hurting when I step I nearly fall. My podiatrist had a heel orthotic made (hard as a rock) and that helps some but doesn’t fit in most shoes. I wonder if this treatment you suggest would work for people with no arch. Sometimes my foot, even when sleeping, feels like my bones are crushing. I do have toes starting to overlap and a bunion. Do you think these shoes and toe spreaders would help? I’ve been told I need a stability shoe with wide toes. I would like to know if the shoes in your video would work? Thank you
Hi Guys, can you make a video on gout attacks that affects the feet....especially the ankle. Thank you.
Here's something you can try! czcams.com/video/4Wz1Umay9T0/video.html
@@BobandBrad thank you.
What are the shoes and toe spreaders mentioned in the video?
REI has a huge selection of shoes. Their website is great because the shoe drop can be selected in the search
Thanks for sharing!
I will get a pair of those toe spreaders for sure, then new foot ware to match, Is it better to try the foot ware with the toe spreaders in place and if so should I still feel room in the foot ware? Good info guys wish I new of this channel a few years ago.
Another question will ur toes or feet adjust back to a normal condition with these or will they have to be worn all the time now??
Thx in advance. Cheers
Yeah your shoe should be able to fit the correct toes in them. You may need to take them out once in a while as too much too fast is a thing.
I’ve used Correct Toes for around 5 years. I live in the PortlNd Iregon are and my Podiatrist suggested I try them to see if they’d help with bunion pain. They work! Users need to gradually build up use, you’ll know if you’ve worn them too long because toe bed will get very sore. So patience is the key. But I have been able to avoid bunion surgery because of my Correct Toes. Shoes are important too so toss those heels and pointy toed shoes, vanity and style are not worth the pain.
WHAT is the name of the "ball of the foot arch" ? That has fallen on me. Numb on the right, painful on the left. Bumpy sole thing from Amazon doesn't stay put.
Wearing mostly Zero drop for a long long time.
Quick reference to a heel pain video for my 84 year old father? Please and thanks ❤️
Subscribe to Bob snd Brad's CZcams channel and look through the videos. They do have some which talk about heel pain.
Here are a couple videos you can take a look at!

The shoes you choose to use.
Hi Bob and Brad!
I am at a bit of a breaking point. I've had foot pain for roughly 15 years; pretty much everywhere but the toes, it almost always feels like my feet are bruised even when I'm not walking.
I was diagnosed with claw foot about three years and got that under control, but now I am having claw foot pain along with plantar fasciitis pain in both feet. Your exercises are helping tremendously (thanks ^^).
However, I have high arches so what shoe advice would you give me? I think my arches still need to be supported, but these shoes you recommend are too flat and I think it only cases me extra pain when I don't have arch support.
Thank you for your time and patience; and please feel free to respond whenever :)
@user-qu5de7np4b What shoes are you currently wearing? Have you tried Orthofeet? They are working well for me.
Cool
I love you guys but have to say a couple of things. 1) Zero Drop Shoes, or even 0-6mm drop shoes, are not good for everyone! If you have Insertional Achilles Tendonitis for instance, NOT a good idea. Some of us have both Metatarsalgia/Morton's Neuroma and Insertional AT. So I guess Dr. McClanahan would refuse to work with us since we can't comply with his first "must do". My point is, you have to treat the total foot pathology, not just make rigid demands of people that only address one area and ignore the rest of the foot. A moderate heel drop of 10mm with a good orthotic and a metatarsal pad is most helpful for those of us with both Insertional AT and bottom of forefoot pain. 2) Spring Toe feature: Many podiatrists and foot/ankle doctors RECOMMEND rocker bottom shoes such as HOKAs and others, which all have a curved front toe for a good reason: because they make up for lost functionality caused by a stiff big toe joint, range of motion difficulties and other ailments. And according to the majority of foot and podiatry experts, rocker bottom shoes (w. spring toes) are good for those with foot or ankle arthritis, or those who work on their feet all day. They can greatly alleviate the pain and wear and tear from standing on your feet for long hours. 3) I'm all for ROUND, wide toe boxes! Thanks for allowing me to comment. All the best!
Too many socks compressed the foot and irritated that nerve. Takes weeks to improve. Nerves are slòooow to recover
What about longer big toe ….have to buy longer shoes to keep the Big Toe from hitting front of shoes.
Yes, you have to. You should have a thumbs width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. My big toes are also my longest toe. Live long and prosper.
Why is Brad's speech kind of slow/laboured in this episode? By Brad I mean the therapist to the right, the taller person.
I noticed it too! Like early signs of a heart attack- or drunk. Very weird, he is not normally like that
He has been diagnosed with Ataxia which causes difficulty with speech and balance
He has Ataxia. An explanation is in the directory part of most videos.
Bob has Ataxia. We appreciate your understanding and support!
@@BobandBrad I hope he will be alright 🙂
We were not born with shoes on our feet. Wearing multiple different shoes for years cause problems
How come Bob talks like he has a mouth full of mashed potatoes
Where do you find shoes for foot pain? Any store recommendations?
Thank you!
Of course!
