FOOTWEAR DESIGN VALUES

Flat

For good balance, shoes need to be flat so your toes can spread out and the big toe is not dorsiflexed during athletic power application.
Widest at the tips of your toes

Better balance means improved agility, improving your confidence handling your bicycle uphill, downhill, and around corners.
Big Toe Power

The big toe is the most important for balance and power and this picture proves it. Don’t settle for decreased balance and power by deviating the alignment of the big toe.
Meyers Line Unbroken

The Meyers Line is preserved in all Strong Feet Athletic footwear. Always and forever. Don’t settle for second best.
Symmetric and balanced posture

We are like fish swimmng in an endless river of gravity, asking, “What’s water?” Society has habituated postural deformity and called it “genetics.” If you’re misaligned and in pain, there is a better way.

POSTURE ETHOS

Symmetric and Balanced

Skillful movement is best expressed when one has symmetric posture with balanced strength and agility.
Right / Left Ambidexterity

Our culture and world prioritizes right handedness. The best athletes train their non-dominant sides to prevent injury and improve agility.
Range of Motion Optimized

Bodies come in a wide range of heights, length of limbs, and ranges of motion. Your bicycle position requires personalized fitting to maximize balance and prevent injury.
Change your Posture

Katy Bowman pioneered the concept of movement as a diet, with many of us having little daily variety. Avoid the cumulative effects of sedentarism by changing your daily / working postures regularly. Your posture during non-training hours are MORE important to your typical posture.

We take a holistic approach

The number of hours spent training is minimal compared to our other waking hours. Improving posture alignment matters most during our non-training hours because this is where our unconscious habits are formed. 1-2 hours of “good posture” during training does not offset the 8-12 hours spent slouching in everyday life. Slouching is easy to do and not realize it is happening because we are unable to imagine life outside of gravity similar to how fish cannot imagine a reality outside of water.

Strong Feet Athletics founder Tyler Benner takes a holistic approach to posture and foot health. Inspired by Katy Bowman’s concept of Nutritious Movement, or how movement variety can be thought of like food groups, Tyler believes a well-rounded movement diet is required for optimal foot strength and balance.

Posture and Bike Fit
Are Intricately (Geometrically) Linked

Limb measurement and posture assessment

Humans and bicycles both come in a large variety of sizes. To balance on your bicycle properly it is critical to move freely within your range of motion and avoid overextension or crunching.
Dynamic Postural Symmetry

The real world has bumps, rocks, and continual challenges to your balance. For maximum agility, you must have postural symmetry even during explosive and dynamic movement.
Bike Fit

Achieving a “fully sprung” posture where your weight is constantly suspended by slightly bent arms and legs is critical for cycling posture. Do not settle for bicycles without adjustment that do not accommodate dialing in these critical postures.

Quotes From The Industry:

“This is a product whose time has thankfully come. So many peoples’ feet have been malformed and injured by modern footwear. The only way to restore foot function is to restore the architecture and strength of the foot. Cycling shoes have been the last adopter of this principal. Now, cyclist have an option to protect their feet while doing the activity they love.”
