WALKING BAREFOOT – CAUSE OF PROBLEMS

There is a natural reason why walking barefoot does not cause any problems. You simply would not walk for long along a hard and even road surface, but over meadows, fields and forest ground, all of which are uneven surfaces that support the arch of the foot, for movement acts like a massage. Judging from the standpoint of zone therapy, you will happily realise that the whole body benefits as a result. It is for this reason that walking barefoot in warm weather when you are on holiday or when working in the garden is an effective and invigorating natural treatment.

In contrast, when you have to walk on surfaced pavements and roads, a heel of 2—lVicm (about 1 inch) is just right. This height will provide the position for the foot that tends to tire the legs and body the least. Additionally, an arch support may be the answer for feet that ache or tire easily. There is usually no need for special insoles because there are carefully made shoes with a built-in support on the market.

If you stop to think that the feet have to carry your whole body weight day after day, you will agree that they most certainly deserve comfortable, well-constructed shoes in addition to daily attention. All this is surely part of a proper health programme.
