    My feet are fucked and the easiest way to explain it is with gloves.

    Just think about gloves or mittens. They fit over your hand perfectly. I mean it’s obvious right? You make hand shaped things for hands, why would you do anything else?

    Yet you look at shoes and none of them are fucking foot shaped and everyone acts like this is normal.

    So I hate feet, I hate my feet and I’m sure I hate your feet. But I’ll still rant about shoes and feet if it comes up.

      I recall seeing a lot of “internet hate” at finger shoes. There’s even a xkcd of that

        Just get ones wide enough for your toes.

        I wear altras, makes the world of difference

          But also you can get a pair of Whitin Barefoot Shoes for $30. That might be a significantly cheaper start.

          Your posture should improve with zero drop shoes. The human body is not made to sit on ever so slight high heels, and 99% sneakers do just that. Wide toe boxes and flexible soles allow you to use the muscles in your feet to walk. Instead of flopping them around like they’re made of meat stuffed in a rain boot.
