Today our partner Vivobarefoot are launching the Shoespirecy revolution! The shoebrand that has re-connecting people with nature as part of their calling want to tell you the truth about feet, shoes, and shoemakers. And it ain’t pretty. Have a look at Shoespiracy.tv
It pretty much took me five years to un-fuck my feet. Most people out there aren’t even trying, they just accept it. They’re fucked.
Keeping your feet locked into hard, narrow, cushioned shoes can only end that way. And I never spent a whole night dancing in stiletto heals. My wife did. Her feet probably need surgery. Royally fucked.
Our parents probably ment no harm selecting shoes for us when we were kids. They probably didn’t know better. My wife knew those shoes weren’t good for her because it hurt like hell. But severe, chronic damage …? she probably wasn’t counting on that.
As well informed adults we can now make the choice to look after our feet, to take care of our very foundation. It took me five years to go from normal (fucked!) to natural. I’m making sure my kids won’t have to do that journey. They get to start off on a good foot. Guess the stiletto discussion might come up in a few years. I’ll leave that to my wife.
