I play with a teacher, who also happens to be an accomplished musician and a super nice person. Today, I noticed he was wearing some shoes that were comfy looking.
Vivo Barefoot "Dharma" |
And by that, I mean they were neutral-heel, human body shoes.
So, after our "gig", I said, "Hey, what brand of shoes are those?"
He got a big ol' smile on his face, and said, "These shoes changed my life..." and I rudely interrupted with:
"Dude, I write a blog everyday about stuff like this, I bet I know exactly how they changed your life. But tell me anyway."
So he proceeds to tell me how he suffered from foot pain for years (and this is a guy who does not walk around in stilettos. No, he is a Merrill-wearing sort of fella. No Do-Me Pumps on this man.
He suffers from foot pain, then he gets this neutral-heel shoe and the pain disappears. DISAPPEARS.
So, without knowing why, he's hooked. And happy. Good enough.
Then he goes to a snowy vacation, and after two days in regular man shoes (hiking boots), the vexing pain returns.
Hmmmm. So he's even more hooked. I hope someday he lets me explain WHY his feet are happy. Maybe he would if I quit interrupting in my Know-It-All way that only appeals to the brain inside my skull, but to no one else.
Anypoo, I checked out these Vivo shoes online, and they got some cute models! Go forth, and be healed. Not heeled.
Lovesies,
Dani
PS. You may look at the prices, like I did, and think "No Way! They're HOW MUCH?" Well, how much is your overall health worth? That's what I thought. You'd give anything to feel great all the time.
I bought some Vivo Barefoot Jazz shoes and I want to issue one warning: If you have wide feet, these brands are not built to accommodate.
ReplyDeleteNow I have a sad pair of $80 shoes I can't wear without causing immense pain to myself. That's what I get for ordering online!
This is EXCELLENT information, thank you! I am sorry you can't wear those shoes---what size are they?
