is it the shoes?
i think i may have isolated the real cause of my foot pain: my earth shoes. my feet had basically stopped hurting over the last few days. yesterday i wore my earth shoes and walked downtown a little bit, and this morning my feet are sore again.
well that's a bummer. i really liked these shoes.

i think the "negative heel" puts extra stress on the plantar fascia. i can see why a podiatrist might think this is *good* for the foot--it elongates the achilles tendon (along with the plantar fascia)--but i think it's too much stress when one is on one's feet as much as i am.
i also know that i have trouble with shoes that are *too* controlling of my feet--too much support. too little is bad, but too much is just as bad because it prevents my feet from flexing like they want to.
