class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s all very interesting, you may say, but why aren\u2019t all shoes like that then?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m afraid that the answer is rooted in old, unchanged habits that the developed world simply forgot to question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"About_heels\"><\/span>About heels<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Raised heels originally appeared as a status symbol. As sense of position and power spread more and more widely among the general population, so did the heel. Modern science inherited this from the past, scientists \u2013 just like all of us \u2013 were raised within this paradigm, and the question \u2019why\u2019 simply never occurred to anybody till recently. So here\u2019s the question spelt out: Why do we disregard the optimum shape of the foot developed by evolution? And what do we lose by doing so?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">High heels do make female feet look thinner and thus contribute to an aesthetically more valued appearance. In addition, the swinging of the hips enhanced by the lack of stability adds even more to the overall sexy impression. The price female bodies pay for this goes far beyond tired feet in the evening and, at least in the Eastern part of Europe, isn\u2019t really acknowledged. At the same time, it is very inspiring to see young Scandinavian ladies recently elected to high positions making their public appearances in comfortable, stable, non-squishing shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"About_width\"><\/span>About width<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We, highly civilized Europeans, loath and ridicule the ancient Chinese foot-bounding method used to force young girls\u2019 feet into impossibly small = sexy shoes: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.worldhistory.org\/uploads\/images\/7334.jpg?resize=598%2C425&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"598\" height=\"425\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-thumbnail\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/barefootbudapest.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_20210919_115508_edit_78244007060977.jpg?resize=150%2C150&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"comparison of a standard Gabor shoe versus a barefoot ballerina\" class=\"wp-image-128\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/barefootbudapest.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_20210919_115508_edit_78244007060977-scaled.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/barefootbudapest.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_20210919_115508_edit_78244007060977-scaled.jpg?zoom=2&amp;resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/barefootbudapest.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_20210919_115508_edit_78244007060977-scaled.jpg?zoom=3&amp;resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><figcaption>left: Gabor<br>right: The Drifter Leather<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What we fail to realize is that in the 21st century, our own beauty standards still favour narrow-looking feet squished into an undersized toe box, with toes cramped all over each other. Well, yes, we don\u2019t need to actually look at what happens to those toes within the shoes&#8230; It is the external sight of\u00a0\u00a0elegantly narrow footwear that counts,\u00a0\u00a0never mind the bunions caused by the distortion or the degrading toe muscles. In such shoes the big toe hardly participates in bearing the weight of the body either while standing or while walking, although it should actually play a key role in both. As we expect men to disregard their physical needs in favour of compliance with social standards to a much more limited extent, their feet suffer somewhat less.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Outdated_concepts\"><\/span>Outdated concepts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is not unheard of that an unscientific concept bringing harm to patients prevails for decades (or even centuries) in a certain scientific field.\u00a0\u00a0For instance, giving birth on your back is another such practice, although it is slowly starting to get less dominant nowadays. While it is comfortable for the doctors, it incapacitates both the birthing mother and her baby. It eliminates the supporting forces of gravity and hinders the use of abdomen muscles. More and more people realize that natural birth giving works perfectly in poses that are more convenient for and supportive of the mother even if the auxiliary personnel (yes, I mean the doctors) need to adapt at the cost of losing some of their own comfort. The old custom is actually supposed to go back to as far as Louis 14th: wishing to witness the birth of his children, he ordered his mistresses to lie down during labour.\u00a0\u00a0<em>Nota bene, the behaviour of today\u2019s doctors is often analogical with that of kings of the past&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(Regarding birthing poses, I have my own experience. I have tried both lying on my back and freely choosing what is best for me, and believe me, the difference is crucial.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Barefoot_andor_in_shoes\"><\/span>Barefoot and\/or in shoes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is common knowledge that walking barefoot is good for your feet. OK, but good compared to what? Well, to shoes. And why so? Because it saves us from overprotective effects of footwear limiting our body functionality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tons of people have zero problems while staying barefoot, experiencing pain only once back in shoes. So, what can they do? After all, it is not an option to go to the street \/ work \/ shopping etc. without any footwear!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, first of all \u2013 it actually IS an option\u00a0:). Some, although an insignificant minority only, choose to live respecting the needs of their bodies even if it means going against the prevailing cultural standards to that extent.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our pampered feet, however, are typically not used to such hardship. In our civilized surroundings, as opposed to a natural setting, it is doable for few.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The solution to this problem is called barefoot shoes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Barefoot shoes imitate the comfort of being barefoot, while still providing the necessary protection against weather and injuries.
