Rummaging through a wealth of literary material on shoes I chanced upon this blog though contrary to custom or habit and off the beaten track of popular culture but still remains capable to kindle an interest in everyone for what it says.The article ‘You Walk Wrong’ by Adam Sternbergh apperared in New York Times on April 21st 2008.The passage below puts in a nutshell what the author intends to convey in this thought provoking and beautiful essay.
“Natural gait is biomechanically impossible for any shoe -wearing person”wrote Dr.William A.Rossi in a 1999 article in podiatry management.” It took four million years to develop our unique human foot and our conequent distinctive form of gait a remarkable feat of bioengineering. Yet in only few thousand years and with one carelessly designed instrument,our shoes.we have warped the pure anatomical form of human gait, obstructing its engineering effieciency,afflicting it with strains and stresses denying it its natural grace of form and ease of movement head to foot”. In other words : feet good;shoes bad.
