Before you have foot surgery, read this.

Today you’re going to see why so many people end up with orthotics, chronic pain, or foot surgery, without anyone first explaining all the available options.

What you’re about to read is not theory.
Not opinion.
It’s a real story.
And it repeats itself more often than you might imagine.

It all started with a customer who came to the store from Arahal.

That day the conversation was strange.
Disjointed.
The kid running around.
The woman giving her opinion.
Him, with his mind somewhere else.

So we left it there.
Hanging in the air.

Days later we spoke again.
Calm this time.
And then he told me his case.

First stop: Podoactiva.
Orthotics.
And Asics Nimbus, because he was a runner.

Result: none.
Well, yes.
His knee started hurting again.

He asked around in his town.

They sent him to a well-known podiatry clinic.

There, the conversation was quick.

Too quick.

• Claw toes.
• Solution: surgery.

And what happened?
When someone talks to you about operating on your feet, your stomach usually sinks.

He said no.
And kept looking.

That’s how he ended up with Serafín, a personal trainer in Marchena.
He told him everything he had been advised to do.
And Serafín made that gesture that needs no words. Hands on head.

Then, a sentence full of common sense.
“Before operating on anything, let the foot work.”

And he sent him to us.

He started with some FiveFingers, so each toe could have its place.

Physical work.
Time.
Patience.

And efectiviwonder…. the body responded.

The toes stopped fighting each other.

And the knee pain started to ease, like loosening a screw that had been tight for years.

Today he no longer wears a 42.
Now he wears a 44.

Not because his foot “grew”, but because it finally takes up the space it always needed.

He told me something else.

In his town, almost everyone wears orthotics. It’s normal.

And when he explains what he’s done, some shrug it off, but others start asking questions.

Whether there’s footwear for daily use.
Whether there’s something for indoor football.

And without realizing it, he’s become a reference.

Yavestruz, funny how things are.

He says that when they ask him about a model, he always recommends daily footwear.

Because running is fine, but living takes up the most hours.

Last time he chose something that doesn’t stand out.
Until you put it on.
The look of a classic sneaker.
The kind that goes with everything.

Wide at the front.

They respect the natural alignment of the toes, including the big toe. Pay attention to this.
Flat.
Flexible.
No reinforcements or heel counters.

• Coqueflex Verona.

These shoes are not magical.

They simply don’t get in the way.

And sometimes, that’s exactly what the body was waiting for.

Health starts in your feet.
