I habe been going barefoot with thongs and barefoot shoes (vivobarefoot) for about 1 year. My job requires me to sit at a desk all day however. My feet are a bit flat but still flexible so i can create an arch but naturally my ankles roll in and i rekon from reading that i have mortons foot. When i stand so that my ankles arent rolled in then i dont really have any contact between the floor and my first metatarsel bone. I feel almost like it could be because i dont just let my ankles roll in to put more weight on the first metatarsel that my legs get fatigued... I spend all my time on hard surfaces. Also i got back into athletics last season and now have a small tear in the sesamoid ligament which doesnt seem to be getting any better and it has been 9 months! I can walk alright but still sometimes get pain if i roll onto that area or while my big toe is flexed back.
I feel much more grounded barefoot but am starting to wonder if i do need more padding and maybe some kind of support??? Feels really weird though to wear anything with a heel now (normal shoe heel - im male)...
Any advice would be appreciated!
