    QV #64 - Oliver Brossman: Custom Barefoot Cleats & The Future of Footwear (Prevolve Footwear)

    On this episode of the Quality Values Podcast, I’m joined by Oliver Brossman from Prevolve Footwear — a company building custom-fit minimalist “barefoot” cleats designed from your foot scans. We dig into WHY conventional cleats can wreck your feet/knees, what “custom” actually means in performance footwear, and how Prevolve uses scanning + iteration to create wide toe-box, zero-drop, flexible cleats for sport. If you play soccer, football, baseball/softball, or flag football — and you care about foot strength, injury risk, and performance — this one’s for you. 👇 LINKS (Guest + Prevolve) Prevolve Footwear (Website): https://prevolvefootwear.com/ Prevolve Foot Scanning Guide: https://prevolvefootwear.com/pages/foot-scanning Prevolve Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/prevolve_/ 👇 QUALITY VALUES PODCAST IG: https://www.instagram.com/quality_values/ (Subscribe here on YouTube + drop a comment with your sport + what your feet/knees have been through.)

    QV #63 - Andy Bryant: Barefoot Shoes Changed How I Treat Pain — A Podiatrist Explains Why

    Andy Bryant is a podiatrist, movement thinker, and educator with **The Foot Collective**, one of the leading voices in changing how we understand feet, footwear, and human movement.In this episode, Andy walks through his evolution from *traditional podiatry* to a **movement- and nervous-system–informed approach**, shaped by his own athletic background, injury history, and years of working with people in chronic pain. We explore why the foot is not a rigid structure to be “corrected,” but a dynamic sensory organ that adapts to environment, load, and lifestyle.This conversation spans barefoot shoes, injury rehab, posture myths, footwear for athletes and kids, ultra-running, nervous system feedback, and why changing how your feet interact with the ground often leads you to question *everything else* about how you live and move.---🦶 CONNECT WITH ANDY BRYANTInstagram: *@andybryant_podiatry*---🌍 THE FOOT COLLECTIVEWebsite: [https://www.thefootcollective.com](https://www.thefootcollective.com)Instagram: [  / thefootcollective  ](  / thefootcollective  )Podcast: The Foot Collective Podcast (available on all major platforms)---⏱️ CHAPTERS00:00 – Andy’s journey into podiatry & questioning traditional foot care12:00 – The foot as sensory input: movement, variability & nervous system feedback25:00 – Injury rehab, barefoot exploration & chronic pain38:00 – Shoes, kids, athletes & changing cultural assumptions52:00 – The Foot Collective, education & the future of foot health---🎙️ QUALITY VALUES PODCASTHost: Jacob ShieldsInstagram: [  / quality_values  ](  / quality_values  )If this conversation shifted how you think about shoes, posture, or movement — share it with someone who’s dealing with foot pain, transitioning to barefoot footwear, or rethinking how the body actually works.
