A girl´s gotta do what a girl´s gotta do, right? <br /><br />Then again, why would you want to balance anything on the inside of the ankle? It´s not like we´re practicing for a Chinese balance act..<br /><br />BUT: asides from not looking pretty, even a slightly sickled foot can cause Johannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703652246667999345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620316363664400359.post-42064899930285826392011-04-19T04:55:19.409+03:002011-04-19T04:55:19.409+03:00The ankle healed pretty well - that was 15 years a...The ankle healed pretty well - that was 15 years ago after all. If I watch it, it's usually fine - it just likes being lazy. Now the correction I get is "heel forward" which is a better one.
