In this case, we are talking about shoe technology, but this question applies to all aspects of life. I am not anti-technology, but unfortunately, like anything, if not used skillfully and with awareness, technology does more harm than good.
If you have attended class with me over the past few years, then you have probably heard me speak about minimal footwear before. In case you think what I am speaking about is my opinion alone, above is a link to a news program showcasing some of the information I’ve talked about before.
I’ve slowly been retiring my non-barefoot shoes in favor of minimal footwear over the past few years. It’s getting easier and easier to find shoes that have the right qualities. What you want to look for is a zero-drop heel, a large toe-box, and a flexible sole.
Are these comfortable shoes? NO! And as you have heard me say before COMFORT KILLS, so get over it!
