Dear People Who Comment on My Bare Feet: I've been running into more and more of you lately. At first, I thought this was going to just be a thing I'd keep shrugging off with a polite smile, but a few lines have been crossed, and I'd like to clear the air.

Our feet are important. They contain 1/4 of all the bones in the body and an absurd amount of joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons. For most of us, they are the primary way we have of moving our bodies across the earth.

I've heard it over and over again. Your feet just don't feel great. Especially in the morning, when you first wake up. Here are three steps to get you moving in a different direction.

It rained cats and dogs yesterday and, intent as I was on getting off pavement, I found myself having to navigate some seriously soppy patches of trail.  After a mere half mile with water through my socks, my toes were screaming in pain.

Ready to start fixing those feet? These six exercises will help get you there.

Clearly the feet need lots of love. So what do we do? We buy them shoes! Imelda bought her feet lots of shoes. Unfortunately, the foot is best served by freedom. The less shoe, generally the better.
