Utter and complete horseshit. A little attention to how you engage muscles when you stand, and more time spent barefoot, and you'd find out first hand that we survived just fine for hundreds of thousands of years without superfeet.

Most of your list is legit.

But seriously, 89s? Fucking yuppie. Back in my day we used the TI84+ and were damn glad to have it.

That's stupid. "Hey, guy over there using newer, better technology. I'll be done with my calculations in a few minutes, just wait for me! "

TI-89 for life, buddy. For life.

It was a niceporchism, hating something great without reason.

Hate without reason is love.

Go die.

Looking like an ass doesn't stop many people on this board (yourself included), I'm honestly surprised you'd even try and use that to make a point.

I know a lot about flat feet, having sold hiking boots to people with all sorts of foot malfunctions for years, and recovering from a very painful, very collapsed arch myself. I, like everyone else, went the typical path in this and tried the arch supporting shoes, even more support (superfeet, etc), "motion control" running shoes, blah blah blah. While that stuff seemed to work great when I had it on.. walking without all that crap sucked balls because I wasn't fixing the problem, only putting a bandaid on it.

After a couple suggestions from a yoga instructor (yes, yoga) about paying attention to the position of my foot while I stand, eventually leading to more attention to how I walk, the arch will still collapse if I let it but I get NO pain ever because I go through my day without them collapsing.. the muscles are strong enough to support things and more importantly, they are used to being used in that way all of the time. I don't feel that exercises alone will fix much, because you literally have to change how you walk to really address the problem I was having, and thinking about every step you take isn't something that comes naturally for most people. Eventually the patterns in which your muscles get fired change and adapt. This process took months, btw.

I won't even bother getting started on how many people see their plantar fasciitis disappear once they start running barefoot or close to it.

lol

Anyone that has made a living fitting hiking boots most likely knows more than you do about what is going on with your feet.

Have fun with your lifetime of getting reamed by doctors for unnecessary custom orthotics.

You injured yourself and found a sustainable way to rehab it? Cool. But there's a big difference between finding the smartest way to address whatever you're specifically going through and pretending that combining that experience with a stint in outdoor retail actually qualifies you to tell a stranger that they'd just get better if they did what worked for you.
