Anyway, someone once explained it to me that the arch is one of the most perfect shapes for supporting weight. Think Roman aqueducts? Anyway, when you choose shoes with 'arch support' you are essentially giving your feet a chance to wimp out and not support themselves, leaving to foot problems, fallen arches, etc. I'm no doctor, but I definitely believe in use it or lose it, so I choose use it, by not wearing shoes as often as possible!

I'm sure it is part of the reason I have been diagnosed with Metatarsalgia and need orthotics now. I've been told by more than one foot doctor that I can never wear minimalist shoes:(Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10402096620723172678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058442233602410874.post-60373678889629508992013-04-15T09:12:57.087-04:002013-04-15T09:12:57.087-04:00I live in flip flops!

Around the house I am generally barefoot and encourage my kids to go outside and play barefoot (my husband is opposite though, he hates the kids to go outside without shoes). <br />Sorry your ankles hurt :( what a bummer! Easing your way into the flip flops is probably the smartest route but difficult for us stubborn wenches lol. Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986748977967854776noreply@blogger.com
