I have thoroughly enjoyed using the balance beam tool. I have Achilles Tendonitis and was wary about using this, but I also knew tendons love load. So I've been practising my balancing on the days I'm not at the gym and have been so surprised at the increased strength not only in my feet, but all up the chain to my hips. I'm 55 and was feeling quite despondent but this brings me great hope that my achilles will soon be back to as fully functional as possible!
My husband and I have loved using our sole mate to strengthen our feet and improve our balance.
It’s fun to do and makes you feel like a kid again when you can walk with toes spread out and have better balance. We have switched to barefoot shoes as well.
Consistently using this in the morning to warm up my feet and stretch. No more pain at the end of the day or after a run!
The Xero Wynn have been in my feet all summer so far. For walking, hanging around and pretty much every non-athletic activities they are just perfect. You can feel wheee you walk so closely it is a real connection.
I usually wear 9 1/2 or 10. The 9 1/2 was a bit thight in the mid-foot (I have large feet). The 10 is perfect.
The training in London was interesting and fun. I had been using the blocks for balance at home but had not looked at any videos. This session spurred me on. I have recommended the course to others since attending.
I'm using my band to do stretching exercises while I watch TV! It fits for me when I'm not following an exercise routine. Perfect.
An amazing workshop hosted by Nathan in Aviemore, Scotland. Relaxed, fun environment to restore and explore our feet. Highly recommend.
I walk quite a bit for work and I love to play basketball. I recently developed foot pain which may be plantar fasciitis because of the location of pain. I started strengthening my foot with Solemate and I’m noticing the pain is starting to reduce. My ankles feel more stable, my balance has improved, and my feet haven’t been feeling as sore.
Incredibly useful equipment. I like to use it as a morning routine the wake up my body and nervous system. Also, it makes a workout routine more fun and challenging.
I have tried a variety of equipment to aid my feet. However the SoleMate is my favourite. I find it seems like a natural aid, is pleasing to use, and is helping strengthen my feet and address my bunion troubles.
I use the kit daily along with the foot collective youtube videos. Using the kit along with the exercises has lessened my foot pain, discomfort and continually improving my toe splay.
I am so glad I attended this workshop. Nathan the facilitator was fantastic, really knowledgeable and approachable. As well as leading a really fun and challenging group session, I was able to ask him about my own feet and with a few simple questions he was able to offer some really insightful guidance which I have been able to put into practice straight away 😃
I started wearing my “wild toes” inserts when barefoot and I love the way they feel. They naturally spread my toes in a healthy way and after watching some videos I now know how to strengthen my toes and improve my balance. I can already see improvement in my “slightly falling” arch. Granted, my toes are not wildly out of alignment - but this helps to keep them from crossing, developing bunions etc. I was surprised at how soft and comfortable they are, while also being effective.
I use these for golf and really like them. It is very difficult to find barefoot golf shoes especially for women. I want to get the water resistant version for spring but the smaller women’s sizes only come in black. I’d like more colour options in the wet weather version.
Thank-you Solemate! What an awesome collective of such simple tools that have made a huge difference to my feet in a few weeks together with the online exercise regime aka Restoration, the team provide. It all makes sense as to why we land up with Plantar F when we contain our feet in tight shoes! Release them and go with the stretches and Solemate tools provide and you will feel and notice the difference. Only one thing holds you back from having happy feet- not employing the tools and following the exercise regime. Thanks Jim and your team for these magic little tools. :)
They are a bit too white but that will change with wear. Very comfortable. Not quite as wide as I’d like but they will stretch abit with wear. Definitely a nice leather barefoot sandal.
knowing abit about feet already i was curious to give the workshop a try. Nathan was a great host full of knowledge and very helpful, it certainly put fun back into training and restoring, i will be looking to give more of the foot collective ideas a try. i am particulary keen to give the explorer membership a try
I have the whole system and it’s transformative. After just going through the first few exercises I knew there was a big change happening. I had been limping from metatarsal pain and within days the pain was gone. No more limping.
What a great simple product with fantastic and easy to follow tutorials.
Well laid out in an easy to follow sequential video sequence.
Highly recccommend to anyone struggling with foot pain.
