Well, but it's like, I don't know, it's the balance, especially is what I notice when I'm riding.

And if I go wear, like, a shoe made by another brand, you know, my big toe comes up and it gets deviated inwards, and then that just, like, makes my leg and, like, my body's, like, ability to columnate my, my weight, like, over the pedal as I'm going through each stroke.

You know? It's sort of like you don't know where your edges are as easily.
43:38
You know? The more you get your toes to come out and the more you get that big toe activated and that full arch of your foot, you know, you can especially feel kind of that inside edge where your big toe has power, and then you can feel that more outside edge where, where your pinky toe is, is, you know, providing that stabilization.
