[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would respectfully disagree with those saying not to go barefoot. You need to get your feet healthier and stronger. Supportive shoes and inserts do the opposite of that. They exacerbate weakness.

You do realize some peoples feet are just structured in away that predisposed them to PF? It’s not about making them stronger. I have very high, fallen arches so now I have completely flat feet. That is not going to change.[/quote]

This is what the shoe companies and podiatrists want us to believe. Because if it is not true, then why do we need them?

I on the other hand believe that the human foot is a brilliantly designed instrument for locomotion, adapted over thousands of years.

Feet work if you let them.

PP you responded to. AGAIN you are not accounting for a physical deformity such as mine.  I grew up running around barefoot and refused to wear orthotics even though I technically was prescribed them at age 16.  I switched to my "winter shoes" last fall and within a week had the PF back. Realized that I just need to go with sneakers 100% of the time, so I bought Hokas which eliminated the PF pain. I was told the alignment of the heel to toe is most important in PF and you need to pay close attention. With my flat foot, I DO need more support.[/quote]
