Absolutely can strengthen the lower limbs by walking NOT running at first on flats or barefoot. More plastic means more crutches. Dont buy that western thought, Do strengthening exercises along with minimalist shoes. After 1-2 years begin to JOG in them. Then build up, that's what I did.

While that might have worked for you, not everyone is willing or able to invest that kind of time. Also, if you have no arch to start with, like some, or if you have an arch that does not hold itself up, like me and others, there is NO strengthening exercises in the world that will give you what nature didn't.
