Improving foot health doesn’t require fancy equipment or long hours. It begins with awareness — noticing how your feet feel and move — and taking small steps to restore their strength and mobility. The combination of regular exercises, smart habits, and thoughtful footwear choices can transform your foundation and support everything you do.
One Exercise at a Time
You don’t need 10 exercises — just one or two that target the key functions of your foot, like toe strength or arch control. Doing them daily builds a base that you can expand on with time. People often think that they'll need a complicated program to get the job done, but we do things different and do not believe in complicating things!
Identifying your foot type will insure that you perform the exercises which are best suited to your foot type. The wrong exercise in some cases can worsen the symptoms.
Start Simple, Stay Consistent
The magic isn’t in doing everything at once — it’s in doing something consistently. Progress happens when movement becomes a part of your life, not an add-on.
Up next, we’ll talk about why doing a little every day is far more powerful than the occasional intense effort — and how this principle can help you rebuild a foundation you can trust.
Footwear: choose wisely
Most people wear shoes that restrict the toes, cushion too much, or lift the heel. These small design flaws alter your movement and weaken your feet over time. Choosing footwear that respects your anatomy is a big step toward freedom.
Yes, they may feel strange when starting out, & this is due to your feet used to wearing something snug and cosy. This stark contrast will take some time but please, give it a chance, your body will thank you for it.

assessing
At My Foot Function, we begin by thoroughly assessing the structure of each shoe. With our extensive knowledge of shoe manufacturing and foot function, we look beyond the surface, identifying the hidden clues that determine how a shoe will impact foot health and function. Every detail matters, from materials to design, ensuring we evaluate each shoe with precision and expertise.
testing
The testing phase starts with real-world use—we wear the shoes consistently for 14-28 days, using them exactly as intended. During this period, we analyze their effect on foot health, weight distribution, and overall comfort. To go even deeper, we cut some shoes open to examine their internal structure, revealing insights that aren't visible from the outside.
approval
Shoes that pass our testing process are MFF-approved, meeting our core principles of foot health and functionality. Approved shoes are then categorized by foot width, ensuring you find the right fit. Our goal is to be as descriptive as possible, providing a detailed breakdown of each shoe based on our rigorous assessment and testing process.
about us
Over the years, we've collaborated with some of the biggest brands in functional footwear, advising on development and education. This deep expertise allows us to test shoes at an entirely new level, focusing purely on function over style. Our mission is to provide unbiased, research-driven insights, helping you make informed choices for your foot health.
