that is a good thing to be aware of for safety reasons!! i’d like to add, though, that i rarely have pain in my feet anymore unless i am wearing shoes other than my fake “crocs” i am a little worried about how my feet will feel during the winter when i can’t wear them. i know you can buy crocks without the holes around the toes, but the other holes are still there.
i have seen some “earth shoe” brand shoes that i think i might give a try. earth shoes with the heel lower than the toe came out when i was a teen and were pretty big for awhile. now they have come out with a new version that looks pretty good to me. i like the look of the women’s style better, but i think i may have to buy the men’s version to get enough width for my WIDE feet. they cost $100 dollars, so i am a bit wary—but kevin says to just go ahead and get them. they are supposed to line your body up better and help with back pain.
