“we ended up discussing the whole barefoot thing and how he's seen so many increase in foot injuries and women do this to their calf muscles and then that affects the low back so then they have chronic back pain so then they go to the doctor and they get back surgery but they never would have ended up on the operating table getting back surgery if they simply wore proper footwear which is barefoot shoes if they had to wear shoes or no shoes they would have saved themselves some back surgery so the back surgeons are getting paid because of the shoe industry who's putting elevated heels which is screwing up everything”
