Her best selling books include <a href=\"https:\/\/anyas-shop.com\/products\/whole-body-barefoot-by-katy-bowman\">Whole Body Barefoot <\/a>(my personal favorite) and her newest book <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nutritiousmovement.com\/product\/rethink-your-position-reshape-your-exercise-yoga-and-everyday-movement-one-part-at-a-time\/?ref=42791\">Rethink Your Position<\/a>. Her work was very influential to me during my darkest times of injury and pain, and I think you&#8217;ll love it too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Katy was one of the earliest proponents of minimalist footwear as a viable solution to many of the foot woes we experience in the developed world. But as this idea has taken hold (and rightly so!) there&#8217;s a part of the conversation that often gets left out. And that is the shoes are actually not the entire solution. It&#8217;s the foot inside the shoe that needs to be capable of supporting our daily lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-blockquote uagb-block-9f3c9a7f uagb-blockquote__skin-quotation uagb-blockquote__align-left uagb-blockquote__style-style_2 uagb-blockquote__stack-img-none\"><blockquote class=\"uagb-blockquote\"><span class=\"uagb-blockquote__icon\"><svg width=\"20\" height=\"20\" viewBox=\"0 0 32 32\"><path d=\"M7.031 14c3.866 0 7 3.134 7 7s-3.134 7-7 7-7-3.134-7-7l-0.031-1c0-7.732 6.268-14 14-14v4c-2.671 0-5.182 1.040-7.071 2.929-0.364 0.364-0.695 0.751-0.995 1.157 0.357-0.056 0.724-0.086 1.097-0.086zM25.031 14c3.866 0 7 3.134 7 7s-3.134 7-7 7-7-3.134-7-7l-0.031-1c0-7.732 6.268-14 14-14v4c-2.671 0-5.182 1.040-7.071 2.929-0.364 0.364-0.695 0.751-0.995 1.157 0.358-0.056 0.724-0.086 1.097-0.086z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><div class=\"uagb-blockquote__content\">We&#8217;ve got this mindset that the shoe is all I need &#8230; [but] it&#8217;s foot strength you&#8217;re after, not footwear.
