So proud of Summer Giddings, representing Australia in Birmingham these past few weeks.
Being able to feel the ground/floor is so important for the blind/visually impaired. Hence my providing her with thin soled Altra shoes - but just enough cushioning & wide enough toebox to get foot muscles working. Barefoot Science will help stimulate proprioception - the sense of where your body is in space - as well as strengthen feet. Important for everybody not just the visually impaired. Toe socks make a huge difference too - as Summer found out.
A huge shoutout to Dr Foot Solutions for their outstanding care for my feet. Absolutely loving the comfort of my Injinji Injinji Australia & New Zealand toe socks, the functionality of the Barefoot Science insoles, and the excellence of Altra Running shoes. π
Thank you for keeping me at my best! π
