I just read an article concerning a leather & sheepskin boot, which is very popular with young (and not so young) females. For obvious reasons, I won't divulge the NAME of the boot in question....suffice it to say, they are just really UGGly boots!!
The article was cautioning about the inherent "dangers" of wearing this style boot, because there was "no support" for the foot. It went on to say something about how "....with each step, the force falls to the inside of the foot..." Blah, Blah, Blah. Bottom line is, they're trying to tell you that by wearing this style of boot, you're eventually going to end up with NOT ONLY flat feet, but problems with your Achilles tendon, knees, hips and lower back. Hmmm....imagine that! All those related health issues, just because this boot doesn't offer an arch support! (And to think of all those childhood summers spent barefoot & happy! Guess Mom didn't know she was contributing to my physical demise!)
I think we should all be very concerned about this new health threat!! SOMEONE needs to get the word out to all those bare foot tribes of natives in the Amazon, Australia, and other places on earth & make sure they begin wearing a shoe that will support their feet!!
WHO COULD HAVE KNOWN??!!! I am so thankful that there are "experts" out there who will enlighten us about such things! What EVER did people do back in Biblical times???? I'm almost quite certain those sandals did NOT have arch supports in them! And I seem to remember reading an article many, many years ago about the first "shoes" being merely leather bags tied around the foot, (Oh, GREAT support there!!)and differentiation between the RIGHT shoe & the LEFT shoe didn't occur until the 1800's!!
It's just by the sheer grace of God that the entire populace of earth was not crippled, even before any of us were born!! If I am to believe what I just read, I'll have to resolve to throw out all my summer flip-flops and invest in some good orthopedic shoes!!
Will I have a choice of color, or do they still come only in black, like what Grandma had??
