Your feet are often the most overlooked part of your body — yet they are central to how you move, balance, and feel. Every step you take, every posture you hold, and every action you perform starts from the ground up. When your feet are functioning well, everything above them can align and operate more efficiently. But when your feet are weak, restricted, or imbalanced, the ripple effect can be felt throughout your entire body. From reduced energy and poor balance to joint pain and posture problems, unhealthy feet can impact how you live. The good news? You can do something about it — starting today.
Posture & Alignment
Healthy feet create a strong, supportive base for your posture. When your arches collapse or your toes are restricted, your knees, hips, and spine often compensate — leading to discomfort and poor movement patterns.
People who improve their foot function quickly see & feel improvement in their knees, hips, back and even neck. The foot should be considered an integral part of the body & should be treated with more love & care.
Balance and Stability
Your feet play a critical role in maintaining your balance. When they’re strong and stable, your body feels more secure during everyday movement. Weak or inactive feet can make you feel unsteady and limit your physical confidence.
For this reason it is common for people to not even think about there feet until there early to mid 30's.. as there is not pain, why would we even consider placing time and energy on the feet. Sadly during this time fo no pain, the feet are slowly becoming weaker. Training them early on will enable us to stay away from painful, dysfunctional feet.
Daily Movement Quality
Everything from walking and running to lifting and bending relies on your feet. Improving their function can dramatically enhance the ease, strength, and control of your day-to-day movements.
Daily practice, toe spacers & good footwear can radically improve foot function & in most cases people feel a difference in a matter of days or weeks.
MAKE THE CHANGE
Many common aches and pains — like knee pain, hip stiffness, and lower back discomfort — can be traced back to dysfunction in the feet. Addressing foot health can help prevent these issues before they become chronic.
Do not accept pain, do not accept feeling it on a day-day basis and instead build the strongest, most stable feet you have ever had - it is possible!
It starts with small steps, balancing on one leg whilst brushing your teeth, massaging your feet on the evenings & considering assesing your feet to discover their weaknesses.
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.
