I came across an article in NY Mag a few weeks back that propelled me to write this post.(1) In the past six months to a year, the way we treat our feet has risen to the forefront of the health world. So what’s the big deal anyway? It turns out that the shoes we wear are pretty bad for our feet. Shoes change our natural gait. And I’m sure no one needs any convincing that most of the shoes women wear are just all bad for the feet and legs, especially high heels. Sure, they look good, but they are hell on your joints and feet.
