Shoes

In a Dr. Peter Attia podcast with physiotherapist and researcher Irene Davis, there is a lengthy discussion about the foot, its evolution and running. The two pose an interesting thought experiment. If you were to wrap you hands in a pair of snug fitting gloves for extended periods of time , how good would your hands function? This is something we are all too willing to do with our feet and the shoes we wear. Its important to challenge the muscles of our feet from time to time, unencumbered by highly supportive footwear.
