Are your shoes making alterations to your body? We would venture to say for the majority it would be a resounding "YES"
Over time shoes can change the shape of the feet, change the positions of the bones and joints in the foot therefore altering not only the foot, but also the ankle, knee, hip and spine. They do this in a number of ways. They weaken the shock absorption and natural needed spring in the arch. Decrease the flexibility of the foot and toes both needed for proper foot mobilization.
Consider them as sensory deprivation devices cutting off the proprioceptive abilities of the foot and brain to communicate. These are just a few of the many things modern footwear does to the feet and body. But the good news is you can start making changes now. Obviously first is to change our footwear and secondly change the way you move.
