This is a question about what the toes should be doing when you flex your ankles -
My experience suggests there's complete consensus around the importance of flexing the ankles as the knees bend, but less consensus around what the toes should be doing: some people say flexing the ankles and curling up the toes is basically the same thing, others that the ankles should be flexed but toes should be flat on the ground. I understand the point that curling your toes up seems to tense the foot and somehow feels wrong. But, I also find that to snug my shin against the tongue of the boot without further bending my knees, I have to 'actively' flex my ankle rather than just allow it to bend, and this pulls my toes up off the footbed. Any thoughts are very welcome! |
