Going barefoot in shoes!
- Thread starter Pes Planus
- Start date
I know... Don't have any tools here at uni, but I'm going home in 3 weeks for the summer break and I'll definitely give that a try (still got a few pairs of old running shoes).
Takes me back to my own student days and a favourite pair of slippers. I remember telling one of my housemates that they felt just like walking on the carpet - then I looked at the soles and worked out why
Yes, the same idea. She was also saying unfortunately it doesn't work well, everyone sees your bare soles from behind. But worth trying I guess
I still plan to work on that. I am thinking that some form of sheer dark colored fabric, or like velvet, etc., could work to throw people off. I am peeved too cuz my current (new) workplace noticed that I was wearing slippers (damn). That's cuz I was wearing light blue women's instead of dark colored men's slippers. Now they will be on the look-out though. The lady stared at me weird when I told her I don't have shoes and will have to go buy some. And I did buy some, like the least supportive, almost no heel, flimsy soled ones I could find and they KILLED me. I got a back ache, achilles tendons angry, and three times as many trigger points around my ankle than normal. And that's just from wearing them one eight-hour shift. So now I'm wearing ones that are almost like ballet slippers, and I still notice a difference. Grrrrr. I can no longer wear my Vibrams to work either, because they also create a ton of trigger points around my ankles. I never noticed until I started getting rid of the trigger points in my ankles regularly, and then learned what a "normal" ankle/foot is supposed to feel like! So I might be working on this version VERY soon!
I can probably get away with them in my office, in going to try if the summer ever arrives here.
Though I think I'll need to carry spare shoes at all times, as we often get last minute requests to go off-site to work.
