My Shoes

I wear homemade sandals and moccasins.  This has several benefits:

  • Custom fitting keeps my funny shaped feet in their natural alignment.
  • Custom fitting nearly eliminates callouses and hot spots.
  • Shoes with less support strengthen the feet, ankles, and the muscles that remotely operate the foot.
  • Sensory feedback from thin soles improves my gait patterns naturally.
  • Improved gait patterns relieve stress issues further up the support chain in the legs, hips and spine.

You may note that most of the high end minimalist running shoes are missing from this list.  As I am not a runner, these types of shoes don't match my needs.
