While podiatrists report a higher frequency of foot problems among frequent wearers of high heels and flip flop sandals, all shoes work against your foot’s natural gait. Adam Sternbergh of “New York Magazine” describes a 2007 study Air Jordan 20s performed by researchers at the University of the Witwatersrand in which the researchers examined the feet of members from three modern cultures. Members of Air Jordan 16s the Zulu population, who frequently go barefoot, had healthier feet than European members, who wore shoes the most among the studied societies. Nevertheless, the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society do not recommend walking barefoot, but do place limitations on certain types of footwear.
When walking barefoot, your foot naturally takes short strides that allow you to land softly on your heel, slightly bending your Air Jordan 10 Retro knee. Your foot rolls through the outer edge of your foot until the ball lands on the ground. Your toes then give you a strong push forward into the next step. While wearing standard walking shoes, the padded heel actually causes your heel to land harder. A thick sole prevents your foot from rolling into the next step, and an inflexible toe prevents your toes from pushing off the ground, causing your legs to lift your foot and do more work.
January W. Payne of the Washington Post reports that the American Orthopaedic Foot Air Jordan 3s and Ankle Society warns against wearing shoes with thin soles and high spike heels. Heels cause your foot to slide forward as you walk, creating excess pressure in your feet and legs, causing pain in your lower back and changing your body’s alignment as Air Jordan 14s you walk. Flip flops also cause problems: your foot repetitively lifts its heel away from the shoe surface, creating tension in the foot and changing the way your heel lands on and lifts off the ground.
