If you wear shoes without arch support and have flexible soles (or go barefoot) your feet with strengthen themselves by having to work just to keep you upright.

- patricklynch 16y agoAbsolutely agree. I made the switch to more minimalist footwear shortly after reading a relevant article two years ago.[1] If it were socially acceptable to wear Vibram fivefingers where I work, that's what I'd do. Since that's not really an option, I wear Puma sneakers (the 'replicat' line doesn't have a huge heel cushion) without an insert. And then at home I work standing up, barefoot. If you're looking for new footwear options, a few places are now selling, ironically, 'barefoot' sneakers.
