Worn Sock Liners – Windows to Your Soles

How many of us check the insides of our shoes? If you’re like most of us, never, right? Well, you may want to get better acquainted with the insides of your shoes.

Above is a worn pair of sock liners I removed from a pair of Rockport shoes. Even without a podiatry degree, you should be able to see significant signs of wear and tear. Amazing, how different the right and left foot wear patterns are. Notice the right sock liner with the big hole on the outside? Even if you never see the foot, you would still worry that something important alignment-wise might be happening on the right foot side. And you would be right… Achilles tendonitis on the right side. See? Worn sock liners really can be the window to your sole!
