Wearing sketcher shoes will it effect the positive correction of the spine?

Forum:

I do not want to slow down or inhibit positive progress by wearing the wrong type of footwear regularly.

I just had a little google and discovered that they are similar in many ways to MBT's, but there are some differences, particularly price, and the shape of the footbed. Shoes are only one factor in posture, no matter what the hype says about either brand.

I figure that I will only exercise in shoes if they are really comfortable. Otherwise I stop the exercise or take the shoes off! would think the quality of the exercise program is way more important for your spine shape (up to a poiont) than the type of shoe you are wearing.

I wear Rockports, but I cannot wear *any* Rockport style comfortably. I prefer to wear no shoes where possible, and Ugg boots or flip flops (fancy or plain, with a high bar over the instep so I don't have to scrunch my toes up to keep them on, and my freedom loving little toes don't get squashed). I do have two pairs of very comfortable dancing shoes.

One tailor made pair has an ankle strap, sandal toes, a two inch heel and a very high, custom arch support because I have very high arches, but dancing posture tends to be 'toes' oriented, so the heel is not so much of a problem.

The other is a stretchy fabric pull-on with a high line at the front, shock cord straps on the outside and a thin, non slip plastic sole. I love these for Tribal.

My fave walking shoes are Rockport World Travellers which have a lovely wide last. Other than that, I prefer shoes that I can slip off when nobody can see my feet. ;-)

Have you tried putting Skecher (not Sketcher) into the search box?
