#toe-walking

[cyber-dragon-123]

holy shit i just realised

high heels allow the wearer to walk on the balls of their feet

(Reminder that walking digitigrade puts stress on the ball, heel and knee joints, damaging them.)

tuafw you spent most of your childhood and a lot of adult life walking on your toes as a stim thing and now your achilles tendons are permanently busted --kittymonster (i forgot what my emojis were sorry)

me: i don’t do the toe-walking thing, never did, it just doesn’t feel right

me: *puts feet down toes first, hesitates before putting heels down, especially when i’m barefoot*

me: *realizes this is altered version of toe-walking*

me: oh

[autism-asks]

Iiaat related to toe walking, kind of the opposite? I walk with my toes up a lot when I'm not wearing socks. Maybe because the floor is cold? Idk

Many autistic people have different ways of walking (toe-walking is the most common way, but it’s not the only way), so yes.

I really enjoy being barefoot, but I absolutely HATE how the floor feels on my feet. :/ Issues.
