So, now its time to break the silence and get the answers for your most awaited questions. The most possible questions that pop into one’s mind are “How about the difficulties faced while walking barefoot on uneven surfaces? Will walking on such surfaces won’t harm our supple feet? Should human beings stop wearing shoes for ever and walk barefoot?”

Well so far our foot health is concerned, we should pay maximum attention in caring our feet. Shoes are not only worn for style purpose but many prefer them wearing for their comfort aspects as well.

I do agree partly with Adam Sternberghs views of walking barefoot without any shoes. But this can’t be completely accepted. It’s because a person walking with barefoot gets much affected than a person walking with shoes. Walking barefoot will really work wonders biomechanically, there’s no doubt in it. Such walking will strengthen the soles of your feet and thus efficiently run the biomechanical program in your body. But how about the damage made to the feet while walking barefoot on uneven surfaces? Won’t that sort of damage affect our foot health? Obviously, it will give its negative affect.

People suffering with diabetic neuropathy are prone to foot diseases. Such diabetic patients are advised by the experts not to walk barefoot as they lose the sensation of their feet even if they got hurt by a nail or any uneven things on the floor. And such wounds if neglected leads to serious foot health issues and sometimes the foot is amputated in case of extreme seriousness. So, to avoid this, they are asked to prefer specially designed diabetic shoes and socks. So, if shoes are really harmful for human beings then no doctor or any expert would have suggested wearing them.

Above all, I do like to say is ‘Shoes are our need but not our wants’. They are wants for the style savants but not for all. Some shoes are really harmful for our supple feet like high heels or any heeled sandals but not all shoes are same. Some are really comfort givers that soothe your feet. Indeed, there are certain things that one should strictly follow with regard to shoes to ensure maximum comfort and good foot health. To know that, stay tuned for the next post. Will soon get you back!!!
