TORONTO FOOT CLINIC -- GOING BAREFOOT

Ah, nothing feels better than going barefoot in the summer. But some people believe it's your right to go barefoot all year long, and not just at the beach. Organizations like the Society for Barefoot Living believe that wearing shoes is not just unnecessary, it can actually be harmful to foot health and lead to flat feet and deformities. And proponents of barefoot running say it can strengthen feet and reduce injuries. For people with health conditions like diabetes, though, going barefoot can be dangerous because nerve damage makes it difficult to feel when the foot is injured.

Some people have done amazing things with their bare feet. In 2008, 25-year-old Jessica Cox of Tucson, Arizona, who was born without arms, became the first pilot licensed to fly a plane with her feet, according to Fox News.
