Hard to beat the Barefoot Professor Feet 101; Archs supports detrimental?
5 Nov
With all our work on Integral Human Gait Theory and our workshops on Gait for Wild Human Potential, we surely do follow all the hubbub on barefoot walking.
I suspect all somatic educators have wondered for a long time about the value of "arch supports" for the majority of people. There are always people with special needs absolutely. The human race problem on this topic seems to be applying a "one solution fits all" mentality over and over and over.
The barefoot professor post helps us better understand how the arch provides energy for walking. The give and take of the arch is very important. Don't use it (by preventing the give and take)...Of course you loose it.
