What I learned watching a girl walk in designer sneakers

I'm going to ask you for something a bit strange.

Next time you go out, don't look straight ahead... look down.

Not out of politeness, nor for fear of tripping over a curb, but to observe a part of your body you always ignore: your ankles.

See.

A few days ago, a girl was walking in front of me.

Her outfit was flawless: wide jeans, long jacket, and brand sneakers.

But something didn't fit... her ankles.

With every step, they caved inward, as if trying to escape the shoe. Look at the photos.

This movement, which happens without us noticing, is called hyperpronation.

It’s a functional imbalance often caused by the shoes themselves.

Why does this happen?

Most sneakers have a thick sole and raise the heel higher than the front part.

This shifts the body's weight forward and inward.

The ankle, instead of staying neutral, collapses inward, forcing muscles, ligaments, and joints to work off their natural axis.

The consequences?

• Pain on the inner side of the ankles or arches.

• Overload in the knees.

• Postural changes: misaligned pelvis, strained back.

• And if you run or walk a lot, you could develop medial meniscus injury, patellar chondromalacia, plantar fasciitis, tendinitis, or lower back pain.

All because your sneaker is forcing your ankle to rotate too much.

And when the ankle rotates, the knee follows.

So, what’s the solution?

To start, choose shoes that respect the shape of your foot and stay close to the ground.

The thinner the sole... the better.

The less your ankles will collapse inward.

Less twisting, less knee, foot, and back pain... depending on your case.

And one shoe that ticks all these boxes is the new Mustang Free barefoot ballerinas.

They’re stylish, flat, flexible-soled, and have a wide fit that prevents your toes from crowding.

Moreover, their sole thickness keeps you close to the ground without feeling uncomfortable.

So your ankles won't twist like in the photos, and you'll strengthen those sleepy or misused parts.

Here they are.

They’re the perfect balance between looks and healthy biomechanics.

Your body will thank you. Your ankles, even more.

Health starts with your feet.
