Most people think balance comes from your core, which definitely plays a role.
But it really starts with your feet, which no amount of planks will make up for a weakness here.
Every day I see people training hard: lifting, running, grinding, all in shoes that do all the work for them. Thick soles, high heels, narrow toe boxes… all designed to make your feet comfortable, but not strong. The problem is, if your feet can’t feel the ground, they can’t control it.
That’s what got me thinking differently. I wanted to make a shoe that doesn’t correct your balance, it restores it. A shoe that connects you back to your foundation.
When your feet can spread, flex, and actually feel what’s beneath them, your body naturally adjusts. Your knees track better, your hips stay aligned, and suddenly you feel more stable.
That’s the idea behind Minnemals. Lightweight, zero drop, and built with a wide toe box that lets your feet move the way they were meant to. You don’t need a “balance shoe.” You just need a shoe that stops getting in the way. You also don't need hours spent trying to balance on top of a foam block because you were told that's how you work on your balance. Your feet need strength and more stimulation so that your brain can better control your body. More proprioception (the body's ability to sense its position) is extremely hard to get when all your brain feels is foam under the foot all day long.
Because when you fix your foundation, everything above it starts to work better.
