longevity

Am I imagining things? I feel the activation in my pinky toes activating my IT bands

I’ve been wearing these with the wider toe box and thinner sole and I’m feeling muscles activate that haven’t activated before

Was tempted to get the toe shoes but chickened out

It also feels like you're optimizing on the 0.5 - 1% of fitness while many other things can be better optimized, e.g. types of exercises, frequency, mobility, etc.

same idea but without the individual toes poking out. works well enough for me but might not have the same effect if you're not actively trying to move all these individual foot muscles when you're out and about walking

oh interesting. first time hearing about it. prob should stay vigilant given i’ve been running more 🙃

If you feel for the outer sides of your quad muscles. Those ones that run along there is called your IT bands. Most anyone I know (especially runners) have really tight IT bands
