It's hips, knees, and ankles all involved in it.

If I'm up on my toes everything lines up nice and straight. If I am laying on my back, my feet are pointed directly at the walls on either side of me.

I actually managed to get myself into the habit of walking, and running just by consciously heel striking. When I ran I wasn't heel striking, but I was using a bit more of my foot than just the balls.

Well, a couple years of running like that caused stress fractures that turned into a catastrophic injury.

Does anybody know of any decent shoes, or products that can help me elevate my heels, while still maintaining solid contact across the whole foot? I've tried a couple different wedge products, and they mostly felt just awful.
