The Foot Doctor - Tennis Shoes and Foot Injuries

Today I chat with Zack Thomas, known as The Foot Doctor. I came across his YouTube channel in 2021 and I've been a big fan since.He uses his medical background to help give more information about each shoe and how it can affect your foot. I love the way he slices open the shoes to show you want is inside them. We chat about all of this, including what makes a cheap shoe cheap and an expensive shoe expensive. We touch on Federer, Nadal's foot injury, common tennis injuries and more.If you enjoy it please share it with your tennis community :)Main topics2:15 About Zack3:20 Tearing up shoes5:05 What’s a good shoe for your foot?7:23 The Difference between cheap and more expensive shoes?10:04 Zack’s goto shoes11:02 People wear the wrong shoes16:00 Federer and Nadal wearing the same shoes for years17:19 Federer's new ON shoes versus his Vapor’s19:52 Common foot injuries for tennis players22:05 Best shoe for heel pain, Achilles tendinitis and plantar fasciitis23:55 Shoes for young tennis players27:15 No new tech in tennis shoes28:10 Correct shoe for each sport 29:27 Rafa’s foot injuryFind us on Social Media:Instagram: Instagram.com/FunctionalTennisPodcastYouTube: Functional Tennis PodcastTwitter: twitter.com/functennisWebsite: www.FunctionalTennis.comFacebook: Facebook.com/FunctionalTennisOfficialHave you seen the Functional Tennis Saber?Check it out here and don't miss the video of Stan Wawrinka crushing the ballFind us on Social Media:Instagram: Instagram.com/FunctionalTennisYouTube: Functional Tennis PodcastTwitter: twitter.com/functennisWebsite: www.FunctionalTennis.comThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy
