It may sound a bit backward but stiff shoes are good.  Most of the time, we think if we’re having foot pain or issues that a softer shoe will help.

And in some cases, it will. It always depends on the person.

But in general, stiff shoes are a good thing. 

Think of shoes as the foundation to support your feet.

If you build a house and put the foundation on soft ground, or sand, then you’re house is going to have A LOT of problems.

The same goes for your feet.

Soft shoes are like a weak foundation.
