I haven't made any more attempts at barefoot walking even though the barefoot experiment on FR181 didn't harm me.
I saw a podiatrist in Albuquerque. He ordered weight-bearing plain x-rays of my feet and an MRI. He made an adjustment on my right orthotic to better support my posterior tibial tendon. So far, the adjustment is comfortable enough. I'll see him again in January.
I'm going to return my Atlas snowshoes. My foot is not strong enough to break trail in snowshoes so I may as well just use my faithful, old MSR's and confine myself to already-broken snowshoe trails.
I'm trying to strengthen my feet with toe squinches (from running book by Jeff Galloway), calf raises from 3 different angles and circular rotations on the wobbleboard.
