Do any of you girls have flat feet?
I used to have to wear a cookie inside my shoes when I was a child for an arch.
When I work out on the treadmill I notice that when i walk, my left leg does not hit the ground when it's supposed to and it feels like my left leg is 'slightly' shorter than my right leg. What happens is my left hip doesn't swing as high as my right hip when i walk.
I also lose my balance slightly doing lunges when I do the left leg.
The double whammy is that i also broke my left leg, both the tibia and fibia bones back in grade school jumping over a horse in gymnastics without a spotter. The surgeon had to place a metal rod inside my left leg for a while and then removed it. I think my left leg is 'slightly' shorter than my right. My left calf is slightly fattier than my right calf.
I'm upset because i once went to some E-model agency a while back and when I went for the interview the lady asked me to walk. So I walked for her and I usually lead with my right foot. Then she asked me walk again this time leading with my left foot. That's when she asked if I have flat feet or a slight limp! She said it was very slight and it was her job to notice.
Does having flat feet affect walking in heels or just regular shoes? I can walk and dance in my 7.5 inches just fine but i don't want anyone to notice this problem, or think I don't know how to walk.
Is there something that I can put in the shoes to support the foot's arch in a dancer's shoe? I am not sure this problem is stemming from flat feet, the injury or both! [cuss]
