Bonus fact: while Sarah and Brian think chicken pox is normal, Debbie and Gary are afraid of shingles. Meanwhile, Shirley and John think that fear of polio is normal. Age and cohorts are constant within themselves yet changing over time. Names are trendy, but once you have a common name, it becomes part of the cohort. This is the latest comic from Randall Monroe at xkcd.

Is this that big of a deal? And what about all the evidence that low impact exercise is better for you?
"The skeletons had the healthiest feet." LOL, but they're still dead, Jim.
Thong sandals or flip-flops are famous for causing damage to the arches of our feet, as are shoes with no padding like Chuck Taylors.
It's stupid to compare just the feet of Ice Age men to our feet, because the rest of our bodies are fundamentally different. We are all much taller, putting more of our weight directly down onto our feet. Our ancestors did not walk as upright as we do.
I might get a pair of those five fingers types, even if they look ridiculous, just to work out in the yard.
Maybe it's just that I'm so used to wearing them, but I find that I walk differently when I go barefoot, I go slower and end up with more muscle soreness. Unless I'm sitting or lying down, I always prefer to wear shoes.
yeaah go shoes!
4% of the time I'm wearing flip-flops or sandals.
1% of the time I'm wearing shoes.
thick soles and perfect arch support for me.
We always went barefoot in the summer when I was a kid, I don't think kids go barefoot anymore, not in my neighbourhood anyway.
Why am I being accused of posting comments to quickly?
I like wearing sneakers.
I'm sure everyone's mileage will vary... a lot of people just can't get used to wearing a shoe without a heel and give up. I adjusted after an hour or so. If you have "bad" feet, they're probably not for you though I've heard some have toughed that out and been the better for it.
my keens are nice, i can feel everything i walk on. :)
