JOIN US FOR THE OCEANIA &amp; ASIA PREMIERE VIEWING WITH DIRECTOR AND FOOT EXPERTSCan't make that time? <a href="https://watch.eventive.org/stupidshoeswatch" target="_blank">Check out our other livestreams.</a>

Ten years after a boring bunion surgery I was told was... inevitable, I stumbled on a video showing what feet look like inside a modern shoe. And it looked suspiciously like my foot BEFORE my surgery. One question followed: did shoes cause this? What started as a hunch became a global investigation into 245 years of ignored science, a health crisis bigger than diabetes, and a trail of uncomfortable answers that reveals a blind spot we've all been walking around in — literally. Stupid Shoes follows foot and shoe professionals around the world to expose how everyday cultural and economic choices quietly created one of the possibly most expensive, most ignored health problems of our time. A multi-billion dollar burden on economies. A silent tax of chronic pain on bodies. And questions the trust we put in systems we believe will put our wellbeing before profit.

Watch Stupid Shoes

An investigative journey that uncovers how a 500-year-old design flaw has created a silent, multi-billion dollar public health crisis, and why nobody seems to care.

Shoes. They are the most ordinary thing we own. In every closet, on almost every foot on Earth, worn without a second thought. Stupid Shoes is an investigation into what they've quietly done to us — and why 245 years of answers never reached us.
