I like your blog. I'm a Rolfer who works closely with Dr. McClanahan. I have a 2-page article on my site that explains what to look for in shoes. Also, I teach a 90 minute class ($25 in advance) on healthy shoes. People bring in their shoes and we take a look and talk about the reasons why this stuff is important. Regarding plantar fascia pain, definitely the necrosis is a factor. But that doesn't explain the pain, which I think is caused by the plantar nerve being irritated. Also, wearing shoes with heels can be a culprit.... The fascia of the bottom of the foot is connected to the whole back line of the body, up through the hamstrings, back, and neck, up to your forehead! So wearing a 1/2 heel every day, especially in your athletic shoes, holds all that fascia short and tight. Then when you shift to neutral shoes, the plantar fascia and Achilles complain. Some traditional podiatrists blame going barefoot, but that's backwards! Blame the heels. :) Food for thought - Sincerely, Karin Edwards Hello! I like your blog.

I'm glad you found a good use for Crocs. This wide toe box idea goes hand in hand with the concept of spreading and relaxing the toes that we are always trying to achieve in yoga. Where is your next hiking trip? Thanks ML! I’m glad you found a good use for Crocs.

However, I have recently discovered a solid purpose for them: they are great to take while backpacking, as the "sit-around-camp-wearing-something-other-than-your-hiking-boots" shoes. Because they are so light and you can wear socks with them (as opposed to flip flops) they are perfectly suited to the task.
