Most of us take for granted how many steps we take in a day. How about in a month, a year or even a lifetime…

For a moderately active adult, that’s 3,650,000 steps in a year or 36.5 million steps in a decade!

Our amazing feet are what connect us to the earth and carry the full weight of our body every day but unfortunately, many of us mistreat our “dogs” without realizing it.

Founder and CEO of Xero Shoes, Steven Sashen, is our guest today on Strong By Design. When it comes to feet, few people are more passionate or knowledgeable than Steven.

After a 30-year hiatus from sprinting, Steven became fascinated with running in bare feet and eventually this love of running barefoot sparked his company Feel the World and then Xero Shoes.

By the way, if you’re in Boulder, CO, he is well known for living life shoeless.

“This is about strengthening your foundation. This is about having strong, flexible, supple, responsive, healthy, happy feet. This is about strength… strength starts with the feet.” - Steven Sashen
