“A lot of foot and knee injuries that are currently plaguing us are actually caused by people running with shoes that make our feet weak, cause us to over-pronate, give us knee problems. Until 1972, when the modern athletic shoe was invented by Nike, people ran in very thin-soled shoes, had strong feet, and had much lower incidence of knee injuries.”
Dr. Daniel Lieberman - Professor of Biological Anthropology at Harvard University
Your Arch is the Support . . .
Painful Truth: The more supportive the shoe, the worse they are for your feet.
Just like the arches in Medieval cathedrals and Nature, the arches of our foot are design to bear the weight of our body. It’s only when we stuff our feet into shoes that conform them into an unnatural position that we create problems, such as plantar fasciitis, fallen arches, bunions, knee issues, and a host of other foot and leg maladies.
