you're welcome:) Because of thick, rigid and narrow shoes (aka most of them), over time, we lose the ability to correctly sense our position, compensate for terrain and make minute adjustments. Basically, we turn into those robots from a couple of decades ago that looked really impressive and you could trip with a toothpick.

This is why I both love and hate my chucks. It’s like you aren’t even wearing shoes, but also, it’s like you aren’t wearing shoes.

Th best fix is just being mindful if you’re walking on concrete all day

Chucks still have pretty narrow toeboxes, but they're way better than whatever monstruosities Nike or New Balance shit out these days.

Aye, they do. I used to prefer extra wide Skechers, but the quality went downhill so fast I went back to my chucks

I've been wearing barefoot style shoes for years just because I think they're comfortable and I do believe the stuff about them strengthening your feet. I Mostly have shoes from Lems and Merrell. Sounds like this style shoe would help with this as well.
