Birkenstocks

So I have written a couple blogs on shoes that are good for your feet and can improve your arches and what not; however, I came across these shoes called Birkenstocks, and I have read a lot about them, they are very interesting and seem to be very good for your feet.

Birkenstocks footbeds are made of cork and natural latex; they are also contoured in the shape of a “healthy foot.” The contours allow for weight to be distributed properly while raising arches in order to provide support for the natural shape and structure of the foot. There is also a “toe bar”, which allows the toes to grip and flex, which ultimately stimulates circulation, exercises the legs, and helps promote balance. There is a deep heel cup which allows the natural padding under the heel of the foot in order to offer stability.

I find these shoes to be really important to the promotion of good health of the feet. Usually when people buy their shoes, mostly young people, aren’t out looking for shoes that are good for their feet, rather just shoes that look good with the outfit they have picked out. However, if younger individuals started wearing “healthy shoes” at a younger age, they wouldn’t have these damaging effects later in life.

In one of my earlier blogs, titled “Shoes Made For Fashion Rather Than Comfort", addresses the issues that may be caused from wearing the wrong shoes, or too high of heels.

In another blog post of mine, titled “Damaging Your Feet: The Risk of Beauty", I address many damaging effects of high heels and also a few interesting statistics that are relevant.
