Correcting Crooked Feet

Usually, I don't like to show my feet, but for the purpose of this review, you can see for yourself the asymmetries in my feet.

Ok, maybe I won’t be able to correct my crooked feet, but in seeking physical wellness, I have added a new tool to my arsenal–the A-line insole. Yesterday, I had the good fortune to meet Gordon Hay, the creator and Founder of A-Line Systems. He made an assessment of my alignment as shown in the below video, and gave me new insoles to try. Gordon assures me that these new insoles will help me strengthen my feet, improve performance through any motion and activity, and correct malalignments in my body. These insoles use a “patented triangular suspension system that restores your natural arches and allows the foot’s structures to move as they need to move…with no loss of stability…The result: your legs align optimally though all phases of motion.”

I will keep you posted on my journey to retraining my feet. Wearing the insoles throughout my day, including exercise, is promising to strengthen the connective tissue in my feet that have gotten lazy, atrophied, and imbalanced from a lifetime of wearing flip-flops, sandals, and squishy sneakers.
