We Build Strong Feet & Glutes Thinking Feet First

14/01/2026

Building strong feet must start with toe splay.

10/01/2026

In my consultations, I find that a lot of people are wearing the wrong shoe size—and 9 out of 10 times, their shoes are too small. Almost always, these same people have significant toe misalignment.

The problem? This misconception that shoes should fit snugly, or that they’ll “stretch over time.” Your toes need room to spread, grip, and move freely—that’s how they maintain balance and fine-tune your movement patterns.

Simple test: Push your toes to the front of your shoe. You should be able to fit one finger comfortably between your heel and the back of the shoe.

This is just one of many factors we assess at Barefoot Strength Academy. Our goal is to leave no stone unturned when helping you build a strong foundation from the ground up.

After a wide toe box, zero-drop is the next most important characteristic I look for in a shoe.

Everything starts at the feet —our base of support. Yet, we just stick them into any pair of shoes we think look good and forget about them.

No wonder so many of us are dealing with issues like APT, tight hamstrings, bad posture and back pain… these are all signs that your body’s base is not in good order.

But don’t stress, we have made it our mission to fix these. Follow our work and we will help you rebuild the foundation you need for a strong, Injury resistant body.

Posture starts from the ground up. Without a solid base, nothing upstream can be stable or aligned. No amount of “head forward, shoulders back” will help if your feet aren’t functional.

Here’s the irony: once you fix the foundation, everything falls into place. Those traditional posture cues? No longer necessary. It all starts at ground level.

If you want to start building a strong foundation — Comment “academy” and we’ll send you our free 7-day crash course.

You do a glute exercise and feel it in your hamstrings or your TFL. Anywhere but your glutes.

That’s synergistic dominance. The assisting muscles take over because of bad technique, mobility restrictions, or weakness in the glutes.

Problem is, those muscles were never meant to be play the dominant role. So you end up with tight hamstrings, IT band syndrome, pulled muscles and other overuse injuries because the wrong muscles are doing the work.

Everyone wants to do the “make me big and strong” program. But without a strong foundation, even the best program just puts you at higher risk for injury.

That’s what we’re solving at Barefoot Strength Academy. Build the foundation first so you can take on any program without breaking down.

Get 15% off Peluva shoes using code BAREFOOTSTRENGTH (Sponsored Post)

We don’t do many sponsored posts, but when we come across a brand that solves a legit problem, we’re always keen to work with them.

We’ve tested so many barefoot shoes over the years, and while they’re all excellent, the space has gotten saturated with similar products. Peluva stands out because they’re toe separation shoes, something I’ve personally grown to love after seeing the functional benefits of realigning the toes with toe spacers. What’s also unique is that they’ve got a bit of cushion in their sole. From working with so many people in our academy with various foot dysfunctions, I know that extra cushioning helps tremendously, especially for those with weak intrinsic foot muscles who are just starting their foot strengthening journey.

Even for someone like me, it’s been useful. I recently started playing Padel, and my feet weren’t accustomed to the rapid direction changes and short sprints over 90-minute sessions. In ultra-minimal barefoot shoes, my feet were quite sore for days after matches. Since switching to Peluva for Padel, that extra cushioning has noticeably reduced the soreness and is helping ease me into this new type of training. So even after years of training foot strength, I still find them a valuable tool.

With that said, this is a sponsored post. But we’d never promote a product we don’t use ourselves and genuinely find value in. When Peluva reached out, it was an absolute no-brainer. We love their products and hope to continue the partnership for a long time.

I played golf growing up. Stopped 10 years ago.

Back then, I was doing golf-specific training and could barely hit 300 yards.

This summer I picked up a club again. After 10 years of building my foundation through my feet and glutes, I hit 328 yards. And that wasn’t even an all-out swing.

But what surprised me most wasn’t the distance. It was the control. My dispersion is tighter than it’s ever been. When you’ve got a rock-solid foundation, you can actually manage your power instead of just swinging and hoping.

This is what happens when you train from the ground up.
Next goal: 200+ mph ball speed and 350+ yard drives. Let’s see what feet and glutes training can really do.

If you want to follow the same system, head to bfs.fit and join the academy. Start building your foundation.

Why Some Feet Get Bunions from Shoes And Others Don’t

18/11/2025

Wearing the wrong shoes is the biggest reason people develop bunions, but it’s not the only one. We’ve identified seven lifestyle factors, including weak intrinsic foot muscles, weak glutes, and tight ankles.

That’s why we built a 21-week bunion protocol inside the Barefoot Strength Academy that assesses and tackles all of these factors with a clear step-by-step plan.

This one protocol alone is worth the membership – and it’s just one of many programs inside the Academy.

15/11/2025

The finer details matter. That’s exactly why our Academy works so well. We go deep on all of this stuff and we’re able to chat with members 1:1 to help them sort out those details and move their body forward with confidence.
