Songtsan Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) I have flat arches and there are a number of exercises that are prescribed for fixing that issue, such as picking up pennies with the toes, or rolling up a towel, etc. Â Just recently, the thong between the 1st and 2nd toe broke on one of my flip flops...I kept using it anyways... Â I noticed that the foot was naturally using the exact muscle contraction sequence used in arch strengthening exercises...so I broke the other flip flops thong and now I walk around all day strengthening my arches... Â Nice. Edited September 3, 2014 by Songtsan 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soaring crane Posted September 3, 2014 Arches rule! Â I got mine quickly after after starting barefoot running. My shoe size actually went down a full number (but my feet are wider) and the skin on my soles, the plantar skin, is like suede leather, really nice. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â I have been considering bare foot running....I am going to enter it slowly...I believe in keeping contact with the earth directly to keep the 'energetics' smooth!
