Foot Guards

The ankle ligaments are strong and fibrous to ensure that they hold the surrounding bones in place during all levels of impact.

My Dearest Nancy, I am writing to you from the trenches in my “dug-out”. It is cold and wet. Winter has not been kind to us out on the Western Front. Many of our chaps have gotten what they call “trench foot”. A nasty disease where your feet turn blue and swell up – even go numb. It’s what you get from standing in damp, wet, muddy trenches all day and all night. It’s been rough. I went to the doctor the other day for a cut I got on my ankle a couple of weeks ago. Doc said it was septic…

Yelled out Thorin. Everyone instantly obeyed and darted to the back part of the cave. Everyone was pulling out their weapons, preparing to fight a cyclops, when suddenly three more appeared. Well this is splendid, not only do we have to fight one, seven-foot Cyclops, but four of them, thought Bilbo. Instead of the Cyclopses attempting to fight the horde, they all smacked the ground with their clubs, exposing a giant hole beneath the dwarves and Bilbo’s feet. The whole was huge and they fell a…

I noticed that when walking it was hard to distinguish the changes in my foot pressure but when I was standing still I did have an interesting observation. I found that I prefer positions where my weight is rested almost entirely on one side of a foot. I was told previously by my foot doctor that I have functional equinus, and was given orthotics to wear in my shoes. Functional equinus is when you do not properly rotate your ankle…

When finding the best cowboy boots for wide feet women, it is always essential to find the right width first. Form fitting boots that perfectly fit can be very comfortable and can easily snug around your foot (each boot should conform to each foot as they are both different). If your boots are not correct, either too wide or long, you will be unable to strut or saunter when you walk. If your boots are too small, your knees, hips, legs and feet will be in pain even when you have already taken…
