No Shoes, No Problem!
Admit it, if you were at the park and you saw a kid running around the playground, two thoughts would immediately run through your mind. First, like anyone else, you would be concerned for the kid, fearful that they will step on a piece of glass or a rock or anything else that could hurt their feet. Second, you would likely think that this kid’s parents must either be incredibly ignorant or simply don’t care about their child’s wellbeing. How could someone in their right mind

Speed Kills, But Your Feet Don't Have To
Do the names Barry Sanders, Marshall Faulk, or Walter Payton ring a bell? If they do, then you know that these three men are amongst the most feared, agile, and elusive running backs in the history of the NFL. So, what is it that makes these running backs so feared? It’s not their size. Both Walter Payton and Marshall Faulk are 5’10” while Barry Sanders stands at just 5’8”. Compare that to the average height of a middle linebacker in the NFL, which is a whopping 6’2”, and you

Beauty and the Beach
The summer brings us sunshine and warmer days suitable for a range of fun to be had in the sun, but no pastime is more popular than the annual trip to the beach! While you kick back and put your feet up to enjoy the sights and sounds, there are some foot-related hazards you should keep in the back of your mind. We all know the laughing stock of the beach - the patron wearing his shoes and sandals in the sand. Yuck, right? They actually may be onto something. Barefoot walking

Flat Feet
Flat feet have carried a stigma in the past, although many people have them without even realizing it. There are three types of stances that appear in feet, and these stances can change when standing: pes planus (flat foot), neutral, and pes cavus (high arches). Each foot type has its own type of care that can keep them from causing you any kind of pain, and even perfectly arched feet can benefit from preservative care. Flat feet can be deceiving, because the arch of your foo
