How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Crazy Funpad for Feet
I switched to a standing desk a few years ago on a whim, just BOOM—all in, cold turkey. Okay, let me level with you: the first six months were hard, because I had no mat. I went home, and my feet hurt like a waiter's, even though I'm an effete knowledge worker. So I used my work workstation to look at The Wirecutter, and they recommended a flat mat. It was a revelation! I'd go home, and my feet were happy. But stay with me, this gets better.
I was so happy, I told my colleague "get a mat! Get the one The Wirecutter recommends!" But listen friends, this is where the twist is. She ended up with THIS mat, because The Wirecutter changed their recommendation. It set my mind reeling. If The Wirecutter recommendation can change, what can you even trust in this crazy world? After I got over the death of objective Truth, I tried this mat for a day. Boys and girls, my life changed again.
Now when I go home, not only are my feet happy, but my back is happier. And I'm less tired. How does this magic happen? I don't know, I don't ask questions, I just freestyle on this mat like a tiny foam skate park for your feets. Needless to say, I ordered a Topo and never looked back, until TODAY. Now that I've told this story, let us never speak of flat mats ever again.
