Hi, I hate wearing shoes, mostly because I have odd, wide/short wedge-shaped feet that point straight forward rather than having the inwards curving banana shape that shoes seem to be made for. I used to constantly have an open sore or cut somewhere on my foot from wearing shoes, and I have a habit of taking my shoes and socks off at times that are considered inappropriate. I changed to a much wider shoe shape recently and my feet are usually healed (although covered in scars). Despite the lack of wounds, I still feel the need to take my shoes off, and I've come to the realization that the pain was not the only reason why. I seem to have the same problem with wearing shoes that I have with wearing gloves, I hate the feel of them being covered and find them much more difficult to co-ordinate. I found that I am much more comfortable navigating stairs or narrow spaces with my feet bare. The more uncomfortable the shoes, the more of a sense of vertigo I feel on steps. (Not talking about high heels, just normal flat shoes)
Does anyone else here find shoes affect their confidence and co-ordination?
