I feel like somebody has finally heard me. Yahoo posted a statement about sheepskin boots-- http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/beauty/experts-debate-dangers-of-wearing-popular-sheepskin-boots-1164424/ and actually stated how bad they are for your feet. No support, slipping around inside the boot is causing foot problems. Let's talk cheap flip flops. Spring is here and the flip flop craze is on. They have no support, break down easily and do not protect your feet at all. These flip flop feet must hurt alot. If you watch the crowds, they slip off the inside of these unsupported creations. They might as well be walking on the concrete. There are actually flip flop style shoes that do have support for your feet. They may cost $40 to $50 but they last a lot longer and actually give your precious feet some support. These are the only feet you have to walk on for the rest of your life and you should take care of them.
I am a big supporter of orthotics and good shoe wear. I have equipment in my office to design the right orthotic for your feet. If you or anyone you know has flat feet, it is time to make a new surface to walk on (orthotics) so you can live a pain free life.
It is really important to catch flat feet in children by about age 6 or 7 so that we can correct an alignment issue as they are growing.
