Although Mrs. Koda is a fan of barefeet and minimal support, which means lower shoes costs, but it also means she scratches the hell out of my legs if she plays footsie too!<br /><br />I think perhaps our feet adapt to how we use them. Maybe it's like anything unnatural with our bodies - clothing, shoes, drugs, etc. I think we get used to it, and then it takes a period of adjustment to get used to not having it around either.<br /><br />The mattress sounds like a good idea, as do the other ergonomic decisions. I don't think we were meant to spend out days sitting in a padded chair staring at a computer screen.Urban Kodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01327437055164051853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33118269.post-32461510868248945992009-10-06T08:45:02.696-07:002009-10-06T08:45:02.696-07:00Well, e, I have to disagree with the no shoes theo...Well, e, I have to disagree with the no shoes theory. Maybe it's just the shape of my feet but since I've been working from home and going barefoot or socked only for most of the day I have experienced pain and discomfort in my feet that I NEVER had when donning a pair of cute, heeled shoes every day to go to the office. It has not helped my back, my hips, or my feet to be barefoot so do proceed with that theory with caution!MACMDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02271028892253203648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33118269.post-37458315618531815982009-10-05T10:04:46.366-07:002009-10-05T10:04:46.366-07:00I think you may be on to something, with the bed, ...I think you may be on to something, with the bed, the sitting, and the not moving around. I have found that when I have my hiking shoes on, the more I walk, the less I'm in pain. Ditto with sitting up straight and getting up every 15 minutes and taking a turn around the office. I also find that not wearing shoes at all helps. I've become increasingly convinced that the more we support our feet, the more screw up our backs and joints.ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18061383195063293235noreply@blogger.com
