Rockered shoes...they're for MORE than hallux limitus...
/In other words, footwear with more "drop" in the front lessens the need for forefoot rocker (otherwise known as 1st metatarsophalangeal joint extension, or "the ability to bend your big toe backward)
“Most people have to wear MBTs a little at a time until they gain strength and stamina, so we recommend wearing them an hour a day for the first few days and to increase gradually until they feel strong enough to wear them for a full day,”
...sounds an awful lot like our mantra "skill, endurance, strength"...
A great read here. Keep this one around for reference...
