When it comes to improving your movement and mobility, consistency beats intensity every time. You don’t need an hour-long routine or overly complicated program — just a few minutes of focused effort each day can reverse years of underuse and neglect. The human body responds best to what it experiences often. By turning foot health into a daily habit, you’ll begin to see real, lasting change.
Consistency Rewires the Body
The way you move today is shaped by the thousands of steps and positions you've repeated over time. By introducing small, daily changes, you start to rewrite those movement patterns. Repetition teaches the body what to prioritise — and your feet begin to function the way they were always meant to. Changes take place over time and are rarely seen after days.
Small Habits Create Big Shifts
You don’t need hour-long sessions. It might be one minute of toe stretching, a barefoot walk around the house, or using toe spacers while relaxing. These seemingly minor habits create daily reminders to your body to stay mobile, connected, and strong — and they’re easy to stick with.
The Body Learns Through Frequency
Think about brushing your teeth — it’s quick, consistent, and effective because it happens daily. The same goes for movement. The more often you use your feet properly, the faster they regain their natural function. Consistency beats intensity every time.
During your first week, consider setting 5 challenges to do daily. This could be 1 minute single leg balance, massaging my feet on the evenig, wearing to spacers around the house & walking during my lunch break. These changes alone will motivate you to want to do more.
Momentum Builds Motivation
When you move regularly, your body begins to feel better — and that becomes its own motivation. The aches start to ease. You feel lighter on your feet. That’s what keeps you coming back. Not guilt. Not pressure. Just feeling better in your body.
In the next email, we’ll take this idea of momentum further — and show you how to future-proof your foot health so you can move freely and confidently for life.
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.
