Flat -bottomed shoes are not necessarily healthier, 3 kinds of shoes also hurt your feet

Everyone knows that high heels hurt their feet, so they usually wear comfortable and versatile flat shoes as much as possible.

But many people don't know that the flat shoes are wrong and hurt their feet.

Even some hot Internet celebrities are "hidden crisis".

1. "Stepping on shit" net red shoes -very comfortable but hurting the bow

Recently, the shoes of "stepping on shit" are particularly hot, "as if stepping on the clouds" "Step on the shit!"

It sounds that the soles are soft enough to be comfortable!

But I want to persuade you not to add a shopping cart-

Because it is too soft sole, it's not good!

First of all, when we wear such a pair of soles of the soles, we will lack support for the soles of the feet.

At this time, our arch is easily collapsed.

The "arch" mentioned here is a structure on our feet.

Bow

Simply put, the bones of the feet are a group of bowed structures composed of ligaments and tendons.

It is like a "shock absorber" that keeps our feet stable and elastic, and buffer the vibration and pressure generated by us walking and running. [1]

And wearing too soft shoes is like building this bridge in the mud.

Not only will the feet be unstable when landing [2], but also allows the arch to be trapped due to long -term stress, so the surrounding ligaments have to double force to maintain the normal form of the arch.

Over time, chronic damage may occur in soft tissues such as ligaments, and it is prone to soreness when walking on the soles of the feet, and it will also increase the risk of functional flat feet.

Seeing this, you may think it's okay, but if you wear soft bottom shoes, it will affect the leg shape?

That's right! Wearing soft -bottomed shoes every day may be involved in the knee joint.

I don't know if you have tried to walk on the beach and slippery snow barefoot.

At this time, because the ground is soft, our toes often shrink into a ball, and the knees will bend to enhance the stability of the grip.

In the same way, if the soles are too soft, it is like a soft sand on the soles of the feet and the floor. In order to stabilize the feet, the knee will be buckled, and the muscles on the back of the calf should be force.

Wearing such shoes for a long time, unknowingly, your gait may change, which will hurt the muscle group of the knees and calves.

In addition, the inner collapse of the arch will also change the angle of the ankle joint, which in turn causes the knee joint to roll the internal deformity.

The most intuitive manifestation is walking X -shaped legs.

2. Snow boots, Martin boots -injury joints

In winter, many girls like to wear loose cake shoes.

Because of their thick bottom, not only can they increase four or five centimeters, it is very comfortable to step on, it is better to wear than high heels.

But many girls do not know that the damage to the feet of loose cake shoes is not lost to high heels.

First of all, the front bottom of the loose cake shoes is thick and flat. Although it is more comfortable to wear, the balance is also greatly reduced.

After putting on the puff cake boots, people seem to walk on the stilts and shake. Once they walk to the uneven road, they are extremely easy to sprain the ankle.

Secondly, the pads of the loose cake insoles are raised, which will move the center of gravity of the body forward, change the normal lines of the human body, and cause the knee joint to extend.

The knee joint has been in tight for a long time, and the pressure increases greatly, which will increase the wear of ligaments and cartilage around it.

Therefore, long -term wearing loose cake shoes will increase the risk of bone arthritis and softening of bone.

3. Exquisite small shoes -easy to hurt the soles of the feet

Many girls go to work and shopping like ballet -like light -like shoes and small leather shoes, exquisite and light.

However, ballet shoes are too flat.

This is because the soles of the Taiping will make the arch of the foot without support, it is easy to walk, and it will increase the risk of the arch collapse.

In addition, in order to be thin, this kind of shoe is often made very thin, and there is no special buffer layer, so the shock absorption function is generally poor.

Wearing this kind of shoes for a long time, when walking and standing, it is easy to stress too much, which may induce ligament inflammation and sole fasciitis.

In the end, small single shoes are generally shallow, and there is no laces fixed.

Therefore, the heels are easy to rub repeatedly with the heel, the toe is narrow, and it is easy to grind to the back and toes. The pressure on the soles of the feet is also very high, and it is easy to grind the chicken eyes.

Therefore, these shoes occasionally wear good -looking clothes, which is good.

But it is really not suitable for long -term wear!

For a long time, you still have to choose a pair of comfortable shoes, so that Jiojio, who is working hard and working hard, can stand up for a long time!

1. The soles of the shoe are soft and moderate

We have already said earlier that the sole of the sole is poorly supported, and the sole that is too hard cannot cushionate.

Is the shoes too hard and good. It is too hard to panic, it is inconvenient to walk, and affect the strength.

Watching the soles of the shoe is too soft, you can see if the front foot of the shoes will be bent too much.

2. The upper can be soft, but the shoe helps should be hard

The upper is softer, and it is not easy to squeeze the feet and toes.

If the shoe is harder, it can help us maintain the stability of the ankle and heel, and let us have a good gait when walking.

The test method is also very simple. Press the shoe stick, and the one who does not collapse is qualified.

It is best to have a arch pad in the middle of the shoe, which is slightly harder to support the arch of the arch. It is not easy to walk.

When testing supportive, you can twist the shoes to see if the middle part will be distorted. Shoes with moderate hardness have good anti -twisting.

Examples of better anti -distortability:

4. Round head is better than pointed shoes

In addition to your feet and not loose, you must also ensure that there is space and not squeezing your feet.

Usually, the shoes that meet your toes will be more comfortable.

The round head is larger than the pointed space, and the pressure on the toes and the soles of the feet is less.

In the end, it is also the most important point: even if marketing and Internet celebrities exaggerate, it does not mean that these shoes are worth buying. Only when it is really comfortable after getting on the feet, we are worth paying for us.
