What a great weekend.
Instructors were very knowledgeable and very friendly.
I learned alot, and realised how much more I need to do and learn.
It showed me just what can be achieved.
Very much looking forward to doing another event
I attended the Dallas session on September 27th and it was excellent. Although I had watched many of the videos, it was quite helpful to receive feedback to be sure I was doing each exercise or movement correctly. I also understood how to evaluate shoes. The balance games at the end were also great fun (and challenging)!
I waited along time to jump onboard but having made the leap much to my surprise my husband appears to be fully onboard. This weekend I will do the tests with his help and get ready with his support and encouragement begin on Monday.
The introduction was as good as the the quality of the product. It’s going to be interesting journey on so many levels. I will let you know how I progress.
Thank you so much for sharing this, Caroline! We’re thrilled you’ve taken the leap, and it’s wonderful to hear that your husband is supporting and encouraging you along the way.
Taking the time to complete the initial tests together sounds like a great way to begin. Move at your own pace, and please remember that our team is here if you have any questions or would like help navigating the program and maximising the Solemate tool.
We hope you enjoy the journey and would love to hear how you progress!
Amazing weekend learning, exploring and having fun with Codie, Jim and the fabulous Bristol gang. Left feeling inspired, invigorated and keen to get guiding. I absolutely LOVE The Foot Collective 💚.
I highly recommend!
Hi Ali, thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you had such a positive experience and feel inspired to guide. We love having you as part of The Foot Collective community!
We can’t wait to see where your Guide journey takes you!
Loving my toe spacers and strength band. I’ve entered a whole new holistic world which makes sooooo much sense. I LOVE taking control of my foot health!!
Thank you, Sophie! we love hearing this, thank you for sharing.
It’s awesome that you’re enjoying the toe spacers and strength band, and that it’s helped things click for you. Taking a consistent, build-it-over-time approach is exactly what we’re about.
Thank you for being a part of the TFC community!
Hice el curso de 12 semanas. Mi pisada ha mejorado un montón y la forma de mis dedos. Muy recomendable.
Se hace de manera progresiva y respetuosa.
Dan muchas explicaciones necesarias para entender por qué es tan importante caminar de manera adecuada, con calzado respetuoso. Soy profesora de yoga y osteópata y lo estoy recomendando a mí gente pues no hay muchas herramientas como está para fortalecer el pie y mejorar su salud y con el la del todo el cuerpo.
¡Muchísimas gracias por compartir esta reseña tan reflexiva! Nos alegra saber que la estructura gradual y suave, junto con las explicaciones claras, te resultaron útiles.
Nuestro objetivo es que el entrenamiento de los pies sea accesible, práctico y fácil de entender, así que nos complace saber que el curso de 12 semanas te ha resultado valioso tanto a nivel personal como profesional.
Agradecemos enormemente tu recomendación y tu apoyo al enfoque de TFC para la formación progresiva en fuerza, movimiento y calzado de los pies.
Foot Restoration Program
Thank you, Kurt! We're thrilled to hear you're enjoying the Foot Restoration Program. Wishing you continued success on your journey to healthier feet!
Absolutely loved training with Jim and Codie this weekend and learning all their knowledge and wisdom on healthy, happy feet! 🦶 Had so much fun exploring how to play with them too which I thoroughly enjoyed!!
Already playing with all our new found knowledge and tools back home and can't wait to spread the TFL love far and wide to help with happier feet around the world 🌎🥰🤍
Thank you, Ruby!
We're so happy you had such a great weekend with Jim and Codie! Soaking up their knowledge on healthy, happy feet while having that much fun along the way is exactly the experience we love to hear about. Love to hear your mission to spread the love for happier feet far and wide! The world needs more passionate guides like you out there.
Welcome to the TFC community - can't wait to see the impact you make!
I’ve just completed The Foot Collective Guide training in Edinburgh and I’m leaving with happy feet and lots of new ideas! 🦶❤️
We worked a lot on foot exercises and balance and had great fun, while Jim and Codie demonstrated skills that made me question whether they are actually human! 😂
Best of all, I’m bringing home fresh inspiration for both my yoga classes and my patients as a physio. 🧘♀️🦶✨ One of the most important lessons: having fun during exercise makes a huge difference in improving compliance! 😊
Thank you, Dragostina,
Thank you for sharing such a lovely review! We’re so glad you left Edinburgh with happy feet, fresh ideas, and plenty of inspiration
Jim and Codie will be delighted to hear your kind words - although we keep asking ourselves the same thing - whether they're actually human! You’re absolutely right that when movement is enjoyable, people are much more likely to stay engaged with it.
Welcome to the TFC Guide community!
Wicked course! Knew I loved the method and the people, but honestly had no idea what I was about to experience.
Finished up and love that I’ve got this string to my bow now 🏹
Codie and Jim are epic teachers, people and movers - so I feel privileged to have worked with them, but also to get their perspective on various aspects of the training.
Really excited to start guiding now!
Thank you, Becca!
We're so glad the course exceeded expectations and that's exactly the reaction we love to hear!
Codie and Jim will be so happy to read this as they pour a lot into sharing not just the technique but their own perspective and experience, so it's brilliant that came through for you.
Thank you for being a part of the TFC community!
TFC SoleMate
Thanks for taking time sharing your review, Rita!
Feel free to reach out if you need guidance on your Solemate tool and training program.
Only had SoleMate for a couple of weeks but it has already become a key part of my exercise routine. The tutorials are very good, well paced and informative.
Thank you, Dave!
It’s great to hear the tutorials have been helpful. We put a lot of care into making them easy to follow, well-paced, and practical, so you can build confidence with the training over time.
Thanks again for being part of TFC, and enjoy continuing to explore what the SoleMate can add to your routine.
At age 79 I have begun finding that there are occasions when my balance is not as good as I would like it to be. Having decided to address this issue I went ahead and ordered a Soulmate Kit. Something I had been considering for a while but now it was crunch time.
It is a beautifully engineered piece of equipment. Although I have not long been using it, I can already feel the difference in muscles around my ankles. At present I am getting used to finding my balance in the split stance. Once I fully have it down, and get more confident, I move on to the training programme.
The Soulmate is a worthwhile investment and you are never too old to learn, particularly when it’s health related. John
Thank you for sharing this, John. It's inspiring to see you approach this with such intention and patience, especially the way you're taking the time to properly master the split stance before moving into the full training programme. That kind of steady, deliberate progress is exactly how lasting results are built.
You're absolutely right that it's never too late to invest in your health and noticing those changes is a great sign of the progress to come. Wishing you continued success as you work through the programme, and thank you for being part of TFC community!
I was somewhat aware of barefoot shoes and importance of the health of our feet but the foot collective workshop opened up the subject for me and showed how much further it can go.
It was great to learn about how it can impact our sensory awareness/movement. While also getting shown practical tools and ways to improve ourselves. Getting hand on with the equipment and even though I didn’t have a solemate, I ended up finding mine.
Pun intended.
It’s left me intrigued to explore this more especially as I’m working towards PT qualifications.
Thanks
Thank you, Ryan!
We're thrilled the workshop opened up a new perspective on foot health and sensory awareness for you and love that you found your 'sole mate' - great pun, by the way.
It's especially exciting to hear this resonated with you as you work toward your PT qualifications - understanding movement and sensory feedback from the ground up will serve you well in that field.
Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience!
Excellent program. Progressively upgraded, with evidence based research underpinning functional skill development. Empowering me with skills and techniques to self manage foot/leg health ongoing.
Thank you for sharing this, Ruth! We're thrilled to hear the program's progressive structure and evidence-based approach have resonated with you, and that it's giving you the tools to self-manage your foot and leg health long-term - that's exactly what we set out to do. We really appreciate you taking the time to share this, and we're so glad to have you as part of the TFC community!
I’m really enjoying using the Sole Mate. I noticed that my big toe had very limited movement on its own, despite moving easily when I manipulated it with my hands. Exploring this led me to discover The Foot Collective, and I’m beginning to wonder whether some of my foot mechanics might help explain the hip and back pain I’ve experienced when running.
I’ve only been using the Sole Mate and doing the exercises for a few weeks, so it’s still early days, but I’m already noticing that I have much more ability to control and use my big toe, along with a general increase in foot strength.
I’m finding the Sole Mate very easy to use, and the hacky sack makes the exercises fun rather than feeling like a chore. It’s surprisingly easy to start with but becomes challenging quite quickly, which I really enjoy. I’m looking forward to continuing to work on my foot strength and control and seeing where it takes me.
Thank you for sharing this, Anita!
It’s great to hear that the exercises have helped you explore your big toe control and build more awareness of how your feet are moving. Noticing those changes over the first few weeks, along with a general increase in foot strength, is such a motivating part of the training process.
We also love hearing that the hacky sack has made the exercises feel fun rather than like a chore. That playful side of training is a big part of what we hope people experience - simple enough to start, but with plenty of challenge as you keep building control and strength.
Thanks again for sharing your experience. We’re excited for you to keep exploring your foot strength and control and seeing where the training takes you.
Fiddly to put on but feels great to stretch the toes out. I think toes get a raw deal so it’s good to give them the TLC they need and deserve.
I feel such relief and relaxation when wearing Wild Toes....and the resistance band is my new favorite workout! Together they are like a daily Sunrise Salutation for my tootsies.
Hi Jane! We're so happy to hear Wild Toes and the resistance band bring you relief and joy. Thanks for sharing your wonderful experience!
The guide course was really interesting. There’s lots to learn and absorb, and of course try!
Don’t worry about how good you are, the TFC team will meet you where you are. However, try to have done some practice before the course, as you will be able to get even more out of the course. It’s worth mentioning that you shouldn’t expect to leave the course as a TFC Guide or with a certificate. You will need to complete a post course physical test which demonstrates your balance through an array of movement challenges.
Is the course worth it? 100%
Thank you for taking time sharing this, Rob!
You’ve captured the experience so well: there’s a lot to learn, absorb, and try, but the goal is always to meet people where they’re at and give them space to explore, practise, and build confidence from their own starting point.
We also really appreciate you mentioning the post-course certification process. The weekend is a big step in the journey, and the physical test is there to make sure each Guide has had time to keep practising and demonstrate the movement standards before becoming certified.
Thanks again for being part of the course and for recommending it so strongly - “100% worth it” means a lot to us.
The 12-week program was excellent and I really enjoyed it. My feet are stronger, my balance is better, and I have learned so much about my foot health. I’m loving all my new barefoot shoes and even have my 83-years-young mother wearing and loving them. Thank you, The Foot Collective, you are all amazing. Keep up the great work!
Thank you,Darinka!
We’re so glad you’re feeling stronger, more balanced, and more connected to your own foot health after working through it. That combination of learning, training, and building confidence over time is exactly what we hope people take from the program.
And we absolutely love hearing that your 83-years-young mum is enjoying her barefoot shoes too. There’s something really special about sharing something you’ve found valuable with the people you love, and it means a lot to us that TFC has been part of that experience for your family.
