[RC] circulation - Dolores ArsteI agree with Heidi, I feel that the trim that shoe is applied to or a barefoot trim is waaayyy more important than the shoe. For instance....High heels would tilt the coffin bone down towards the ground more in the toe area,thus causing the coffin bone to pinch the sole corium and also the circumflex artery, and the laminae which would cause decreased circulation and lack of blood supply to much needed areas. This in turn would cause a thinning of the sole, and a chain reaction of bad feet, flaring, etc. The same goes for long toes and underrun heels, it's the trim dammit :) I think that than applying shoes to this is just adding insult to injury because now you are creating openings in the laminae which allows bacteria and encourages flaring. Of course I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir when speaking to you all. Dolores --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
