At what age did you realize that modern day shoes are messing up your body and that the best thing you can do is go barefoot / barefoot style shoe like pic related to be one with the earth and regain control of your foot?

Around ten years ago when I was a runner and kept getting injured. I even went to a podiatrist who made me $300 custom insoles to "support my arches." When I finally figured out it was all the support in the shoes that was making me run incorrectly in the first place I threw them away and never looked back.
But then I started lifting and stopped running anyway.
i wear flip flops and slippers (spanish & i live off universal basic income at my parents house on the beach)
I have a friend doing the Camino right now. I hear that the economy of Spain is in ruins and there's like 50% youth unemployment, is that true? Is it a whole nation of NEETs?
I haven't taken this redpill yet. normal running shoes feel fine to me and i have no injuries

That's why you wear a minimal shoe like in OP pic to protect against simple stuff.
>shoe-gay thinking his irrational fears reflect reality
As a kid, when every pair of new shoes was poorly fitting, despite choosing from a range that supposedly had very wide fittings. Working in tech, I've at least been able to wear sandals as day-to-day footwear around the office.
my doctor told me to wear shoes with extra cushioning
Don't listen to him
It’s all fun and games until you step on a nail
Why would you step on a nail? Don't do that.
tbf a long nail is going through a rubber sole too if you're running and hit one
I can't heightfraud while barefoot or with shoes like that.
just wear a top hat like god intended
I used to run barefoot when I was a kid until these things appeared
We used to call the local equivalent "double-Gs" when I was a kid in Australia. Main reason for wearing flip-flops rather than going barefoot entirely.
unfortunately i don't want to get AIDS by stepping on a used fentanyl/heroine needle in my city
does grounding increase your test?
I feel like most barefoot shoes don't have wide enough toeboxes.
Same. Hobbit-bros unite!
I have plantar fascitis for 4 years tho... what do I do?
I have flat feet so I need shoes with arch support otherwise I get shin splints. Tried minimalist shoes and they didn't help.
>shin splints
Sounds like you heel-strike
No arch means more impact when landing so it's a similar problem.
