These Shoes Are Killing Me! (Ep. 296 Rebroadcast)

from Freakonomics Radio · host Freakonomics Radio + Stitcher

The human foot is an evolutionary masterpiece, far more functional than we give it credit for. So why do we encase it in “a coffin” (as one foot scholar calls it) that stymies so much of its ability — and may create more problems than it solves? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
