Caption
Bio-archeologist Andrea Waters-Rist of Western University in London, Canada, along with researchers at Leiden University in the Netherlands, have found that a combination of wearing Dutch wooden shoes and a strenuous farming life caused bone chips in the feet of 19th-Century Dutch farmers. And, she says, it's a lesson for people who wear hard-soled, inflexible shoes today.
