As I am going to Aspen next week, I have arranged a meeting with Foot Foundation. Eric Ward, its’ founder, is the husband of a dear friend of mine (Agustina Casal) and he has launched this endeavour when I used to live in Aspen in the year 2,000.

Having had problems with my right foot and ankle for years, this is something I should have done years ago, as from all the reviews I hear from Foot Foundation, it can help you have happy feet (and ankles, knees, hips and backs), which is what I am looking for.
