Do you wear pointy shoes, what do you think of the #barefootrevolution?

[esotericstory]

Little girl feet on the left, and what feel of an adult woman look like on the right

A is a properly aligned foor, B is a misaligned foot

Misalignement of the toes is caused by modern shoes that are too narrow to allow proper growth. This cause postural problems and back pain. More and more people are now looking to stop wearing footwear as much, and only to wear shoes that conform to the naturally grown foot shape.

I don't wear pointy shoes because they look unattractive and uncomfortable. Vibram Fivefingers came out with a glove like product with a sole with individual pockets for each toe just like gloves to embrace the barefoot concept. I personally don't own a pair because I have syndactyly.

I believe this only happens if worn during the period of growth. I do agree that, especially women's shoes, need to be designed better! But I personally like pointed shoes but mine don't squeeze my feet. I think as a society we have the power to drive change so I'm all for impacting change.

*raises hand, and waves uncontrollably*
I'm all for the barefoot revolution. No shoes whenever possible here.

[jmstarling]

I'm a podophobe.

[Julie_TS]

@jmstarling hmmm... never heard of, but judging from the my post and the fact that phobe/phobia is a fear of something, I'm guessing you have a fear of feet, or something similar?

[jmstarling]

Yeah. I learned the term from the internet. It's not considered a legit phobia, but I've had an aversion to bare feet for as long as I can remember.

[englisc]

I think it's great. Shoes do fuck up your feet, even if sometimes they're necessary. This is why I allow my kids to go barefoot as much as possible when safe to do so.

[esotericstory]

Thats a good practice.

[LegateLanius]

I'd totally be barefoot if it wasn't for all the nasty stuff you step on in the city. A few weeks ago I had to pull shards of broken glass out of my shoes.

[Dinklex3]

Nah. I think pointed shoes are ugly.
Never heard of barefoot revolution.
I have narrow feet in general though so even if I did, I doubt it'd bother me.

[esotericstory]

Narrow feet are not a genetic condition, but caused by modern shoes.

[Dinklex3]

That's cool.
I've always had narrow feet.
Can't wear open toed shoes even as a kid because my feet will slide through.

[JenSCDC]

My pointy toed flats are my most comfortable pair of shoes.

... why don't you just wear properly fitted shoes? That works too, instead of stinking up a room with your odour

my afghani girl crush in year 10 wore them pointy shoes and had all her body covered but her feet were revealed and showing

[Apathetic-Warewolf]

The girl on the left has really sexy and pretty feet

Just wear proper shoes that does not deform your feet.

[stormbreaker06]

when the women can't walk they will be crying for a man to carry them.

[jmstarling]

I have to spend $200 on shoes to get the correct width.

[jmstarling]

At one point, the shelter basically forced me to wear worn out shoes because when you're employed and live in a shelter (very common in NYC), you have to show your pay stubs and proof that you're saving money (an account statement or ATM balance slip). They were very insistent that I get shoes from a store called Dear Feet, which takes Medicaid, but the biggest shoes they had were narrow at the knuckle, where I need the width.

[ChloeStarfire]

No I only wear sneakers
