This post is about my flat feet woes. Last year, I was at Lyanca and Roy's house for dinner and Lyanca and I both had our shoes off. As I am eating and chilling, I noticed something...her arches looked different from mine...
Needless to say, I was super sad - all signs (ok, there were only 2 signs) lead me to my discovery that night. It was as if my spirits were telling me..."you idiot, the reason why your feet always hurts is because you are flat footed." With Lyanca sitting next to me with her perfectly arched feet and the Barefoot wine that was sitting in front of me during this discovery...it was all setting me up. Esme and the gang witnessed it then and there as I came to this horrible realization.
From that moment, EVERYTHING made sense to me:
- All the times when I would get shin splints
- Why my feet is so ugly
- Why my Mother has bunions
- Why it hurt so much when I ran (and how it didn't hurt as much when I wore boy's running shoes since boys tend to not have high arches like women/girls).
- Why my heels always got messed up at a certain angle
Over-pronation is a biatch. My Mother told me that it was a good sign, and I replied back...PSHHHH. Perhaps, if I was a dude, I'd be lucky from not being drafted into the army.
So as you can see in this picture, I am NOT completely flat footed, there is somewhat of an arch...like at a 178 degree angle. Ugh.
Barefoot Wine. When I walk on the sandy beaches, my foot print does NOT look like this! GRRR.
