PHPeople in medieval times walked different than we do now

Log in or register now., shoes were basically thin strips of leather that covered the foot and didn't provide much protection at all. Because of this, people walked the same way we naturally do when we're barefoot: toe first, which allows us to test the surface in front of us and puts less stress on our knees. Frankly, it's how humans walked for millennia before modern-day shoes came along, which keep our feet much safer so we can step down harder with our heels first.
