Fashion vs Function 👠 🦶 👣 People have been sacrificing the function of their feet and bodies for the sake of fashion for centuries - especially, it seems, when it comes to absurdly narrow and pointy footwear. 👣 The extremes of this can be seen in cases like mediaeval Britain and China but the trend has carried through in differing degrees to most modern footwear. 👣 It’s thought that this preoccupation with pointy shoes stems from the simple fact that it is so clearly impractical to do any kind of physical labour in them, making it a sign of wealth or status for the wearer. 👣 We reckon it’s high time for an overhaul of this archaic trend - shoes that are foot-shaped and promote natural foot function need to become the norm if we want to see any major change in the foot pain epidemic of the modern world. 👣 #thefootcollective #tfcaustralia #feet #foothealth #strongfeet #barefoot #health #movement #balance #strength #stability #mobility #flexibility #coordination #skill #nature #fyp #naturalmovement #shoes #footwear #naturalfootwear #barefootfootwear #fashion #function
