Relief came in the way of the Arcus!

As the founder of My Foot Function, I've dedicated my life to educating others about the importance of foot health. Little did I know that the lessons I preach would hit home during one of the most pivotal moments of my life—the birth of my child.

For five days straight, my partner and I found ourselves in the hospital, navigating the highs and lows of childbirth. As I stood by her side, offering support and comfort, I couldn't help but notice the toll it was taking on my own feet. Walking on hard surfaces, standing for long periods, and supporting my partner through labor left my feet throbbing with pain.

Desperate for relief, I tried everything—shifting my weight, standing on one leg, even placing towels under my feet. But nothing seemed to alleviate the discomfort.

Then, like a beacon of hope, the Arcus shoes from Wyde Footwear was staring at me from across the room. With their supportive yet cushioned design, they provided the comfort and relief my tired feet so desperately craved. As I slipped them on, I felt a wave of relief wash over me. The pain melted away, allowing me to focus on what truly mattered—supporting my partner through one of the most profound moments of our lives.

In that moment, I realised the importance of choosing the right footwear for the task at hand. While I've long championed thin and flexible shoes for optimal foot function, I now understand that there's a time and a place for everything. When faced with long hours on hard surfaces, comfort should take precedence over the need to feel the ground beneath our feet 24/7.

The Arcus shoes proved to be my saving grace during a time when comfort was non-negotiable. And while I'll continue to advocate for foot health and functionality, I'll do so with a newfound appreciation for the role that comfort plays in our everyday lives.

Toe Spacers & what you need to know

Modern Life

It begins in childhood — sitting at desks, limited play, and too much screen time.
As we grow, stillness becomes the norm. Chairs, shoes, cars, and screens replace natural movement.

By adulthood, our bodies are already adapting — in all the wrong ways. Muscles weaken, joints stiffen, and we move less without even realising it. Modern life doesn’t just reduce movement. It rewires us away from it.

Designed to Move

Our bodies were built for motion. From the ground up, everything about us is made to move — joints that bend and rotate, muscles that contract and respond, feet that adapt to uneven terrain. Movement is in our DNA.

But when we stop moving, the system breaks down. Joints stiffen. Muscles weaken. Posture collapses. And our bodies start to compensate in harmful ways — creating tension, imbalance, and pain.

Movement isn’t just natural. It’s necessary. Without it, we lose not just mobility, but function.

Reclaim Natural Movement

You don’t need a gym or hours of free time to start moving better — it begins with small choices, repeated daily. Walk during your lunch break. Take the stairs instead of the lift. Spend more time barefoot at home. Choose shoes that let your feet move naturally. These simple habits reconnect you with the way your body is meant to function.

Reclaiming natural movement isn’t about doing more — it’s about doing what’s right for your body. The more you move with intention, the more your strength, balance, and coordination return. Over time, movement becomes effortless again — not something you force, but something that flows.

MAKE THE CHANGE

Feeling stiff, unstable, or disconnected from how your body moves? If yes, this is your sign to start changing that.

Movement doesn’t have to be complicated. You just need the right tools, a bit of guidance, and a simple way to begin. That’s exactly what our Starter Bundle is designed for.

It’s everything you need to rebuild strength, stability, and mobility — starting at the feet and working your way up.

Small daily changes lead to lasting results. Your body is ready — now it’s your move.
