i don’t trust podiatrists at all. I got into a big argument with a podiatrist I used to go to high school with about walking barefoot about 5 years ago. I was way ahead of the curve on the whole barefoot running thing (the magic of the internet for allowing weirdos to connect with other weirdos). this podiatrist dude told me I was out of my mind, that i was going to ruin my feet and that the podiatry community was in complete agreement that barefoot was bad.

Therefore, i am very suspicious of podiatrists. they need to speak out more strongly against women’s shoes rather than just standing by and making money off of corns and bunions, caused entirely by fashion, to have some credibility with me. i guess they also do good by keeping an eye on diabetics’ feet to make sure they’re not getting rotted. But I feel podiatrists in general are part of some industrial-footwear complex designed to hurt us; kind of like footbinding supervisors in ancient china.

I feel pretty strongly about barefootedness,and for many years had my kids go barefoot in the neighborhood. i believe shoes are one of the largest problems in modern society. i hate tom’s shoes for shoeing the unshoed. i hate shoes.

is it really a foot problem or is it something body related?

Maybe a sports medicine doctor?

hope Im not offending anyone by railing against the podiatric medical community.

if your feet feel better when you get home and take off your shoes, then something is very very wrong.
