I decided to throw away all my conventional shoes at the weekend. To be honest I don’t remember the last time I wore any of them. Actually that’s not true, I wore my Converse the other week for a couple of hours and was amazed how much I hated wearing them. The weight, the narrow toe box, I just didn’t like it. My feet also ached afterwards which is a sensation I’ve largely forgotten. To be fair to Converse they aren’t half as bad as most shoes, at least they are zero drop. However they still aren’t any good for my feet so they had to go.
I bought 4 new pairs of barefoot shoes too. 2 pairs of casual, a pair of walking boots and some running shoes that I’ll be using for cycling.
It’s a brave new world and there is no going back now – the bin men have already been.
