Over the last 4 years or so I have been battling with a few lower body issues, which was exacerbated when I tried to walk for any longer than 10 minutes or so.
My Dad suffers from a weird foot problem known as ‘Fatless Foot Syndrome’ whereby the fat on the sole of your foot starts reducing.
Coincidentally, I noticed that my own feet were feeling bruised after standing up all day at work or when I had walked a fair distance.
I tried different types of insoles as well as trying shoes with extra support to increase stability.
The problem started to ease when I began wearing the famous Doc Martin shoes at work, but more significantly the New Balance 880’s and 1080’s.


The Doc Martin’s have a patented ‘Air Sole’, while the New Balance’s have their patented ‘Fresh Foam’ sole.
Both of these brands also have a ‘neutral’ sole, which allow you to walk with your own gait.
Fast forward to now, where I can walk any distance I like, with no bruising to my feet and best of all no knee or hip issues!!
And, given I prefer to do fast walking outside to burn body fat stores to get in shape for physique competition, then this footwear is now an absolutely critical component!!
Oh and FYI, I am NOT sponsored by these brands, nor gain any commission on sales of same!!
This is just useful information for anyone out there experiencing similar lower body issues.
