When transitioning to minimalist shoes, allow the foot time to adapt to the absence of orthotics.

“So, if they're used to wearing this big bulky cushion shoe, you don't want to take them into something like this too soon. They'll be like, "This sucks and I don't want to do it." And then you lose them right out of the gates.”

“So, for example, if I'm working with, you know, just someone who wants to walk, for example. We'll put them into a um Ultra, for example, wide toe buck shoe, >> zero drop, and we'll just have them start like five or 10 minutes, see how they feel. And then we can start to transition the stack height. So if they're used to wearing this big bulky cushion shoe, you don't want to take them into something like this too soon.”
