Who loves walking barefoot on silky sands, soft grass, or a lush carpet? Feels luxurious! But walking barefoot all day long, for days or months on end, is problematic.

All dressed up for a night on the town, barely three steps forward, a sharp foot pain stopped me in my tracks.

Ouch, that hurts! I couldn’t bear to take another step and kicked off my shoes.

What’s going on — why can‘t I walk in my favourite heels?

Have you heard of Flintstone Feet?

of
lack of support.

Walking around the house barefooted, with slippers
or, God forbid, flip-flops
has created all kinds…
