These articles are some of the best use of internet space. I am into self-improvement and doctors other than Dr. Wayne Dyer can can be self-improvement gurus as well. This information transforms into understanding and wisdom as it presents a sort of philosophy of the foot. So reasoned, intuitive and inspiring and so needed by so many. Brilliant and honest. My hat is off to you, doctor. Bryan Winn Dear Dr. N.

However, I believe, for many people--not all--orthotics should be thought of a short term solution. Ultimately, you want to strengthen and stretch muscles and learn to walk correctly.... In your case, orthotics alone may help. Orthotics can correct imbalances. However, I believe, for many people–not all–orthotics should be thought of a short term solution.

The more supportive shoes a person has become use to wearing, the more difficult (even painful) the transition they are likely to have to wearing less supportive shoes or starting barefoot activity.

This helps explain why it's so difficult to transition OUT of supportive shoes. There's a lot of work to be done building those muscles back up. But as someone who's done it, it's well worth the effort. Excellent article! This helps explain why it’s so difficult to transition OUT of supportive shoes.
