Two flatfooted females in my family. Only thing they've found other

of Birkenstocks and shave their legs, though.
Keep a couple of different heel heights available, wear orthotics or
Birkenstocks - I have clogs - and if you're turning a long time, put a
six by six chunk where you can raise one foot on it while turning.
Does wonders for the back as it transfers the load.
Great point, George... I have a lower shelf on both lathes to prop a
foot on... gives me more "back" time before it stops being fun..
Those that don't think this helps might notice that most bars or pubs
have a foot rail.. (and you use it without thinking about it)
By the time I need the rail in a pub, I don't need it.
