I will do all that stuff. Thanks. |
That's because it over-pronates more, putting more stress on the plantar fascia. Stretching the behoozies out of your calves will help significantly.

I forgot to mention that my shoes wear heavier on the outer rear of the heals, evenly (both feet the same). Better than two years back, though.
I don't know the name for this place, but they used to also wear on the outer sole under the ball of my feet. I had to replace dress shoe soles when they'd begin to wear there pretty badly. That hasn't happened for the past two years worth of soles. I'm assuming that it correlates with my ability to squat better? Yay?

Yup. Wear pattern relates to foot biomechanics. If you stretch, your squat will continue to improve.

I used to be a bad toe walker. All my life. It's much better, though. Only bad when I'm nervous or tired. Habit, partially. I don't HAVE to walk on my toes. I can walk like a human. Although, evolutionarily speaking, toe walkers are far superior.

Yes, but they have tight calves which lead to abnormal foot mechanics and stress injuries like plantar fasciitis.
