Tight lacing boots are foot prisons!
Loose lacing saves lives! Free the feet!
But seriously start slowly especially if you have fallen arches - gotta lear to walk correctly (if it isn’t an indication of a bigger problem) and the feets will slowly get back into shape (allegedly)
I hadn’t realized why i hated every other shoe i was riding in except my slip on Romeos or flippy flops… the toe box always sucked. But the romeos have a slight heel which isn’t ideal for skating. But the toe box breaks in huge so my triangle feet’s were happiest there. Grabbed a pair of the amazon whitin canvas shoes and it all clicked.
Thanks @rafaelinmissouri btw that video you posted up thread was my eureka moment. Just thought i was a picky shoe connoisseur - destined to just flip flop and barefoot through life because i didn’t like anything. But really it was that i spent so much time barefoot my feet were the wrong shape - or the correct shape.
