  • Men’s vs. Women’s Feet: Why Hilma Running Shoes is Making Shoes for Just for Women

    Men’s vs. Women’s Feet: Why Hilma Running Shoes is Making Shoes for Just for Women
    Jun 6 2024

    Brooke Torres is an ultra runner who couldn’t understand why running shoes were so uncomfortable. So, she started a running shoe company to fix that problem.

    Hilma Running Shoes makes shoes specifically for the needs of women’s feet, which are uniquely shaped and not just a smaller version of men’s feet (since as you'll hear, that doesn't work).

    In this episode, Brooke and I talk about:

    • Women's foot shape and its impact on running shoe design
    • How poor-fit shoes can lead to injury and discomfort due to differences in foot geometry
    • Heels, high arches, and bunions: common foot problems in women
    • How women often choose to size up in order to find more width
    • Hilma's three different fits, with a 90% try-on success rate
    • The cost and time required for custom shoe creation (it's a lot)
    • Personalized shoe fitting for women, using data and quizzes to determine the best fit
    • Running shoes for various purposes and from urban walking to moderately technical trails
    • Helping women feel welcome in the outdoor industry

    I'm normally reluctant to have running company CEO's on the podcast, since the episode could feel like a massive advertisement. But I confidently made an exception with this episode.

    Hilma Running Shoes is a small company that is solving a very real need among women runners. If you don't know about Hilma yet, you should.

    PT & MOBO Creator Jay Dicharry on Tissue Health: How to Strengthen Bones & Tendons
    May 2 2024
    When runners get hurt, it’s often a tissue health problem, like a tendon injury. Jay Dicharry is a physical therapist, author, entrepreneur, and faculty member at Oregon State University who knows a lot about tissue health for runners. He’s written some of my favorite books on running performance and injury prevention, including “Anatomy for Runners” and “Running Rewired.” Jay also hosts workshops for physical therapists. In this episode, Jay and I talk about: New research on tissue remodeling and load tolerance skills to develop durable runnersImproving strength, bone density, and tendon health through specific exercises and training methodsDebunking common beliefs around running and bone healthProper plyometric training for bone and tissue healthThe link between nutrition, bone health, and stress fracturesTendon health and repair through slow loading (including Achilles injuries)How to prevent and address tendon injuries in runners through sound strength trainingWhy runner’s feet need special attentionUsing the MOBO Board as a diagnostic tool for fatigueEvery runner can learn something about tissue health from Jay in this episode to help them run strong and stay injury-free.
