Robust
Alpro leather and breathable Birko-flor are our choices
of upper materials. Pro classics make a distinction by durability,
pleasant wearing comfort, and versatility. C165 colors are
fun and attractive. If you need something more conservative,
try the ubiquitous and favorite
Birkenstock
clog Tokyo or the more modern
Birkenstock licensed C100,
both with backstraps.
Your
feet are also your shock absorber. They support all of your
weight in a very small area, and they keep a balance on
all of that weight and they are your freedom in life. If
your freedom is curtailed, you will feel it in every aspect
of your life., from your work to travel to standing to do
dishes. One of the most critical life choices is how you
choose to care or abuse these sensitive tools. They can
be mistreated for quite a while, but when they start to
hurt, remember that your feet are trying to tell you something
and it is a warning. How you choose to heed or ignore the
sometimes subtle signs of foot problems will help determine
many other parts of your life in small and significant ways.
26 bones, 36 joints, and over 100 muscles means that those
babies need to be kissed, pampered, massaged and patted.
When you wear shoes that are tight in the toe area, there
are many things that can happen, and rest assured, one or
more of them will eventually happen to you. Corn calluses
and ingrown toenails are some. Here is another: Bunions
are what it is called when the big toe gets pushed inward.
That is when your metatarsal moves inward, usually from
bad clogs or shoes. Another problem is a bony bump at the
bottom of your big toe that protrudes outward. Not
good, because that part next to your bony bump starts getting
red, sensitive, and can get a fluid as your body tries to
protect you from you. Your toe joint might get inflamed.
Lucky you. You just wanted to look good at work or play
and the price on those clogs or shoes you bought did not
include the needed warning label like cigarettes. Too late.
