Trash your padded shoes, fam.




I have been slowly adapting to it with these for the past four months or so:



Rehabing your feet after shoe-wearing your whole life fucked everything up is a LONG process. But if you want to get rid of pain and live longer..

just be conscientious about your foot strike.

That's what takes a lot of rehab.

Small family farmers.

Cubicle gardeners take note,

Wow. That is MUCH bigger than just farm equipment. That affects almost every car, phone, and computer out there.

I’m a huge fan.

I think one of these little minks would become my boxer's best friend.

I guess, I naturally walked on the balls of my feet, I was gifted with my grandmother's flat feet so I always had to be conscientious about my foot strike especially when running, essentially every day was leg day for me.

You went infantry with flat feet? That could have been painful.

wasn't infantry but a decent pair of boots with good orthotic inserts and it was fine.

Huh. Look at what I found:

In a 1989 study of more than 300 Army infantry trainees at Fort Benning Ga., those with flat feet had far fewer training injuries than recruits with normal or high insteps. In fact, trainees with high arches suffered twice as many injuries, including sprains and stress fractures, as their flat-footed comrades.

"Much of what we've believed about flat feet is mythology," said Dr. Bruce H. Jones of the Army Institute of Environmental Medicine in Natick, Mass., and one of the study's authors. "I've seen drill sergeants with arches as convex as the bottoms of rocking chairs, who are active and successful." Doctors Question Old Warnings

Orthopedists are now inclined to agree. "We've all been brought up on grandmother's warning that flat feet are bad, so we'd better correct them," said Dr. Francesca Thompson, chief of the orthopedic adult foot clinic at Roosevelt Hospital in New York. "As we've become more scientific, we've begun to ask, 'why?' "

Dr. Michael Coughlin, president of the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society, said many professional athletes, particuarly basketball players, have flat feet. "We see people seven feet tall with size 16 shoes and the flattest feet you've ever seen," he said. The Army study "does substantiate many orthopedists' observations that many people with flat feet have no symptoms and do very very well," he said. No Strict Definition

Maybe flat footers are the master race?
