What’s it about?
Humans have been making protective covering for their feet for over 3,000 years – and we’re still working out how to get it right! In this fascinating session, Ina Farrelly, clinical lead of gait and biomechanics at pioneering clinic Accelerate, talks about the evolution of shoes – from protective devices to objects of desire – and what you can do to make footwear work for you. You’ll learn the ‘must haves’ for shoes, the ‘bad’ shoes’ to avoid, and lots of top tips for choosing shoes for swollen feet.
