Hi all,
OK, so I am 58, had some issues for several years with Plantar Fasciitis (cleared up now) and then last year Hip Bursitis. Been up and down with my weight, but have found most of my main issues are foot based. Haven't run in years, but want to try and get back to it - but haven't been pain free in the feet and hips for years either! Have been following the Foot Collective UK, and have decided to try and "reclaim" my feet, which I am hoping will help with the remaining foot and hip issues I have that are I believe are mostly due to poor alignment and lack of condition. Have bought all of the toe separators and balls etc to try and get my feet ready for my new purchase - a pair of Freets https://freetbarefoot.com/product/freet-citee/ Went for these as they are reasonably priced - and not a disaster if I cant get on with them.
I aim to start carefully and use only for short periods initially to slowly build up my foot health & general strength. Totally new to all this so would be really grateful for any steers or advice.
Many thanks.
Andy
