Shoes, Boots and Footwear in General.

i used to take ballet but didn't do the toe shoes. i was to young. but i rememebr seeing the ones who did do them. and i think that it might help with heels since heels push your feet up some like toe shoes do.

I know that toe shoes have trained my feet to walk in heels. I still do the flaky ballet walk on my toes first, which was reinforced by years of cross-country running training. I can still stand on pointe even barefoot, so I must have done something to strengthen my feet through all that torture.

Oh, I have agonizing foot pain sometimes, but I think it is a combination of too much ballet (and countless broken toes) and very high arches. My footprints are basically a heel and the ball of my foot and toes, with nothing in between. Sometimes I get such bad cramps in my feet that I have to pull my toes back toward me or walk and stomp around for a while to make it go away. Oddly, this usually happens when I am lying down or sitting with my feet up, not while I am walking around in heels.
