Such obvious podiatric torture devices such as stiletto and platform shoes can't be any good for your feet right? As it turns out it's not just the obvious footwear that's doing us harm - it's all kinds of shoes. No matter how expensive or how comfortable they might seem to the wearer, those who have their feet firmly planted in scientific research tell us that today's footwear actually does our feet more harm than good.

Ever since Doctor J hung up his converse, you've known the drill. Nike, Adidas, Reebok or some other show company releases a new shoe with a big time athlete's (usually a basketball player) name attached. Kids go crazy and spend hundreds of dollars, buying them out. People even got shot over them. Michael and his Air Jordans are certainly the most famous but there have been plenty of others -- Iverson's Answers, the Grant Hill Retro, and the Kobe Bryant Zoom Kobe. Basketball sneakers became such a part of our culture that even Spike Lee got into the act, declaring that famous like, "It's gotta be the shoes." Every year, the cool kids laid out big money to have the hippest and hottest, the latest pair of shoes. Last years shoes were, last year and you needed big money for this year's. Well, no more of that.
