Birkenstock Shoes was: Re: spasms

[Guest guest]

Shoes that feel comfortable are not necessarily what is best for your

foot. Birkenstock's don't offer ankle support for instance, so you are

at much higher risk of an ankle injury. Abviously you want to be

comfortable in your shoes and I'm glad you've found something that

feels good to your feet, but an orthopod would likely disagree with the

Birkenstock choice. Proper orthodics balance out your foot problems in

a medically sound way that's appropriate for your specific foot. Any

other shoes on the market are made for mass amounts of people. A

person with flat feet for example, might say a certain brand feels

better and in fact is maintaining the flat feet problem, not correcting

it. Wearing the proper shoes can be more painful at first while your

feet get used to walking in the correct position. That's just my 2

cents, I'm not a doc. I'd just hate to see you do more long - term

damage.
