Your feet evolved to be walked on, it's a myth that they need "support". They just need protection.

- emodendroket 10y agoI trust my podiatrist over people trying to sell me Five Fingers shoes. Also notice how easily I can change this argument: "Your teeth evolved to be eaten with. It's a myth that they need 'brushing.'"
- sooheon 10y agoFYI I have never worn or owned Five Fingers, much less tried to sell them to others. You don't change the mechanics of your teeth by brushing them, you just clean them. It's akin to cleaning your feet. The equivalent of "support" for feet would be if you put molded resin chompers over your own teeth every time you ate. And the history of medicine has been one of medical professionals being wrong--you'd do well to take advantage of their services but also be critical.
