Daily Fit Tip: Go barefoot!
The human foot wasn't designed for shoes, and believe it or not most of the shoes we wear (even the athletic ones!) are actually doing more harm than good.
So spend a little time every day barefoot! Let your feet get back to the natural form they were meant to work in, give them get a breather from the shoes they get jammed into every day, and learn how to walk properly and naturally again. Of course you need to be cautious of hazards and take some precautions, but in the end you'll be glad you did -- your feet (and your whole body!) will thank you.
Have a happy and safe 4th of July weekend!

This article is about 20 years too late for me...my feet are so deformed and painful , I only HOPE all of you reading this will take heed. The Japanese have a very wise custom of removing thier shoes before entering thier home or anyone else's...they remove thier shoes (but wear socks as a rule) and it's not only more comfortable...but keeps dirt outside and floors get less wear. (I'd take a picture of my feet and add it here if I could!!) Our feet are not like tires...we can't replace them but we put ALOT of miles on them...so...love your feet, and say NO to fashionable painful shoes! I admire pretty shoes...in store windows...I appreciate the art of thier creation...but cringe at the pain most of them cause. Reflexology anyone??
