I am not saying, I am just saying
A while ago I read an article in the New Yorker online about how shoes are hurting our feet.
I had been experiencing a lot of heel pain in my right foot; I can't point to one particular reason, I mean, I had been wearing crocs and chacos almost exclusively, shoes that are not supposed to hurt your feet!
So, as an experiment, I started wearing my cheapest, thinnest, $6 flipflops from Target. Because they most closely replicate being barefoot (very thin and flimsy) I decided to try using them as my only foot protection.
I don't know what to say: it's ironic, considering that until very recently, I worked for a company that was built on convincing people that shoes are vital to their lives. Because now I don't believe in shoes. There, I said it. My heel pain is gone.
That article convinced me completely. I hope to get some barefoot shoes by wintertime.
