Want to correct my feet and I heard running "naked" helps - i.e. either running on those ugly glove like shoes or bare
If you pronate avoid the bare running style shoes. I have flat feet + pronation. For short runs (20 mins) they're fine. When I extended the duration to 50 mins my ankles swelled. A visit to a sports med Dr. set me straight - pronation requires arch support that bare runners can't provide.
