Perpetually barefoot person here. Your feet start to heal and become normal again after you stop wearing shoes all the time. They can withstand jumps like this.
With respect, I hope this doesn’t open a door of treatment strategies or anything. But to cover: I’m on year 5 of it. I’ve been doing all the things. The people in my life used to laugh at how often I was barefoot. My wife marveled at my insane calluses. I’ve always been athletic and never overweight.
But I’m supposed to have cushioned supports until it heals. Which it refuses to do.
Yeah it can run in families sadly, from what I was told it can really depend on your ankle shape and how your weight is distributed on your foot.
My dad always warned me about wearing unsupported shoes like vans, converse, campers but I never listened, my younger cousin got the same thing only at a much younger age from being in the military hiking with gear all the time
For me the pain got really bad after I went mostly barefoot and wore leather slippers on a week long camping trip, my heels and ankles were hurting so bad it was hard to walk, after limping along like that for a while my arches started to hurt so I went to a foot guy who got me some support soles and stiff shoes with lots of laces to help keep my foot together while at work, it’s been getting better but not good enough to go barefoot yet, that is the end goal but doesn’t seem within reach any time soon
Shoes ruined the connective tissue in your feet. It’s the unfortunate way most people end up needing orthotics.
Everyone reading: start stretching and strengthening your feet, go barefoot where you can. Foot pain affects everything above it and you don’t want to be the person who can’t walk 100ft without their special shoes (which themselves are amazing since they can actually treat these issues at all, before anyone thinks I’m just anti-everything).
It’s important to learn about other things that can cause it like pronation before you just start going barefoot though as that can accelerate damage, I wish I knew that before
Ah, gotcha. I have to agree with the other person that responded to you. The type of recovery I’m talking about happened several years after being barefoot near 24/7. The foot shape actually changes, the muscles get stronger, skin gets thicker, etc.
A week going barefoot in a hostile environment with already damaged feet would just make them worse, like in your case.
Its about war and not valuing human life. Slavic countries historically lose huge amounts of men on the battlefield over and over… so the ratio of available men to women are thrown way off. the surviving men take their pick of the litter for mates.
I would say it’s because the modern material circumstances of the state has led them to a surplus of manpower compared to their enemies but a deficiency in industrial efficiency…
But two things can be both true and interdependent.
It would be like when I grew up and saw a George Carlin special on tv and was like “oh that’s Mister conductor from Thomas! He does comedy? I have to see this…” And was instantly traumatized in a good way
Oh wow. I am clearly older than you because Thomas was something that I was way too old for by the time it came on TV and I had plenty of Carlin’s albums, but yeah, that must have been a head trip. I wonder if there are any other examples like that. I can’t think of any off the top of my head.
EDIT: Thought of one. Bob Saget, the world’s dirtiest comedian, playing a dad on the sickeningly wholesome show Full House.
Bob Saget is an awesome pick. Tim Allen was sort of similar although it wasn’t nearly as shocking as Bob Saget. America’s funniest home videos was so lame that the bar was as low as possible.
Good to know. I still wasn’t thinking that their* line was serious, just helping inform people that the widely held belief of urine being sterile is false.
A Slavic person chimed in it actually is a real phenomena based on a toxic culture in high school that encourages young men to drink an excess of alcohol.
It’s hard to look good when you get peer pressured to drink alcohol until your liver fails
