The USA and Great Britain have the highest number of people wearing...of all things--shoes.
Interesting fact is that we also have the highest rate of foot problems in the world also.
I suppose that is a good thing if you are a podiatrist, orthopedic surgeon, back specialist, or shoe salesman.
You see, the feet are the first link in a bio mechanical chain that affects everything about our movement. Just like any machine, if the mechanics are ''out of whack'' long enough, there is bound to be problems elsewhere in the body.
