the problem with eccos and other shoes is that the soles are not really flexible, they’re too thick, you have no ground feel, there is still some cramping of the toes, though less and you are not flat on the ground.

any lift from the heel affects posture, gait and shortens tendons.

the reason women become addicted to high heels is they’ve distorted their leg tendons so much and so long that they actually do feel uncomfortable when they stop wearing them.

bunions, caused by shoes. tight shoes. women get corrective surgery and get right back to miniscule shoes.

shoes are dangerous, not as dangerous as guns, but scary.

i used to wonder how in the hell women in China could put up witht he foot binding when i heard about it as a little kid.

then i grew up and reaslized we basically dothe same thing here, though we hobble women less.

movement needs to be integrated into daily life. women’s shoes are antithetical to that important goal.
