TOMO 24,880 Posted November 6, 2023 Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 Arnt these arch supports completely the opposite effect of a bare foot approach....? I thought the new thinking was to have no support and let your feet be free.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My kid studied gaits (I know,boring huh)but he reckons arch supports are helpful,I have some new boots so I am getting them,my feet are in good condition,I do some decent walks,we only get one pair of feet.I have seen feet of people who have never worn real shoes,they don’t look all that healthy.

It’s an old man thing, as we get older our arch,s naturally drop, you may notice the toe next to your big toe protrudes further than your big toe and rubs on your footwear in later life this is a sign your arch’s are collapsing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
terryd 8,050 Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 Worn cheap wellies all my life but recently had to stick some insoles in them. Feet were killing especially after few miles on soft sand carrying weight. since putting insoles in been much better. So next wellies better get some decent ones Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Right,spoke to the podiatrist today,he reckons they are hype and a fad,he went way over the top of my head chatting about foot flexion,stresses etc,etc,etc but it boiled down to barefoot shoes arent all that according to him, he has been examining and advising people on feet since completing his degree so it’s worth listening to him.They had Lowa trainers in there,never seen them before.
