Is it true that your feet structure is designed only for a specific shoe? Because the other day I had gym class and my right foot got swollen in a certain area that made me unable to walk for a while. My mom said it was because I didn't have the proper shoe on but I wore the same shoes I wore for gym last year and my feet didn't get swollen or anything but this year only my right foot did. My feet are sort of arched-like so does that mean I can only wear arched-like shoes? I wear converses which are flat but now my mom is yelling at me for wearing them because they are not proper normal walking shoes but when I bought them it had one of those lil tags attached to it containing a little piece of history about the shoe. It said that converses were used by basketball players so what really pisses me off is that if basket ball players can use converses, how come I can't use them as normal walking shoes to go with my look? Oh plus I don't use them for my gym classes just for like everyday use.
Feet are meant to wear arched shoes. If you don't have the proper support, your feet will get sore, because they'll be under a lot of pressure trying to maintain your natural shape.
It's okay to wear Converses if you don't have a really long distance to walk, but if you have any activity to do, wear something healthier for your feet! [ NinjaNeer's advice column | Ask NinjaNeer A Question ]
