So after some time, thought and experience I've decided that the two channel thing is just not for me- too much going on and different things to keep track of and did the complete opposite of what I intended the two-channel system to do. So, while this channel will still feature a lot more original content, the reviews will go back to their home here in their current format. With the YouTube game you're constantly trying to keep up with algos and trying to make the creation process sustainable for the long-term and for that you have to keep experimenting with things. So although i've loved getting to do new types of videos and will continue that here - the reviews will also be a part of that - thanks for sticking around during my mid-youtube crisis- see you in the next video!

The Ultimate Shoe Guides are up on The Shoe Garage channel. Basketball is being broken up into list videos since it changes so often and the tennis/pickleball is the standard Ultimate Guide video, although I may start breaking that one into individual section videos as well. Check them out!

Ever think about putting just ONE orthotic into your shoe on JUST the foot that’s hurting you?

I get this question a lot and here's the problem: your body works as ONE kinetic chain system, not two separate legs. If one foot is supported and the other isn’t, you create an imbalance like walking with one sneaker on and one flip-flop on.

That uneven support and lift in the shoe can throw off your hips, knees, and even your lower back especially if you are wearing Powerstep orthotics which actually DO something to correct your mechanics, you’ll need them in both shoes to keep you even

Even if you are just wearing a flimsy insert, it still had some thickness and can throw your back off unless you are trying to correct for a leg length issue, which is its own separate topic.

Bottom line: if you’re wearing an orthotic on one side for pain you need to wear one on the opposite too.
