Add this to the other benefits of the "no outside shoes in the house" rule.

As for arch support, it took me 20 plus years to find durable shoes that did not have arch support. I can't wear shoes with arch support...I get plantar fascitis when I try. (If anyone else has the same problem...Dansko's for the win). For years I was replacing my sneakers every six months because I had to get the cheapest brands. And women don't get removable insoles. We should, but we don't.

I haven't tried the minimalist shoes.
