Tyler Benner: It Feels Easy When you do it Right - Ep156

20 Feb 2025

Description

Tyler Benner: It Feels Easy When you do it Right - Ep156 This episode is a conversation with Tyler Benner from Strong Feet Athletics. Tyler was a member of the US National Archery team for about a decade, and a lifelong athlete.  He has spent the last 10 years making the world’s first barefoot style cycling shoe that is mass produced. They just started shipping the first model, The Leviathan, about a week ago as of the time of this recording. They generously sent me a pair to test although they only arrived a few days ago, so I haven’t had a chance to ride in them just yet. That said, the fit is very much shaped like my foot and I am excited to give them a try in the wild. Tyler describes part of his inspiration for making the shoes was listening to Phil Liggett commentating for the Tour and talking about riders “dancing on the pedals” when climbing out of the saddle.  We speak about the importance of training feet and ankles to be strong and stable, and how this is important in all athletics. Tyler’s experience as an archer led him to discover the significance of the conditioning and tone of his feet, and how it impacted his ability to hit the center of the target.  I am sure you will find his journey insightful.   Links: Strong Feet Athletics Website ►► https://www.strongfeetathletics.com/
