Caliage

[jvrjenivs]

I was once in my DSC caligae for a week. They were initially comfortable but then they started killing me. It's the flatness and the fact your entire weight rests on the ball of the feet, instead of being distributed evenly, as it is in modern, sloping shoes. After that week in caligae my feet were killing me for two weeks, it really took me a long time to recover.

But that hasn't anything to do with what kind of supplier you use. That's just about learning to walk with flat foots/barefooted. Never start doing that for a week. You've to get used to it slowly. I've been walking in caligae as well as barefoot for 10 years now, and can cope with it and different surfaces (barefooted) pretty well. I got most problems with having to walk long trips on concrete, where your shoes doesn't make it more 'soft'. Sometimes I addes a piece of sheepskin in my shoes for that purpose. Will do a good job.
