Recently, the adjective “feeling on shit” has appeared frequently on business promotion pages. “The feeling of stepping on shit”, you can actually feel the softness just by imagination, but experts say that the seemingly comfortable “feeling of stepping on shit” may be destroying your feet.
The softer the shoes are, the better.
Dr. Ma Ming, deputy chief therapist of the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of Zhongda Hospital, explained to the reporter that from a professional point of view, the soles are soft and the wearing experience is true It will be more comfortable, and there is not much problem in wearing it in a short time. But once you wear it for a longer time, it will make us feel more laborious, because when the sole is too soft, our calf muscles will use more force to maintain balance. In addition, wearing soft-soled shoes for a long time will cause the arch of the foot to gradually collapse, resulting in functional flat feet, which will endanger the health of the bones and joints, and may cause diseases such as meniscus damage and lumbar disc herniation. And soft-soled shoes are even less friendly to wearers with flat feet themselves. Wearing soft-soled shoes for a long time is likely to cause heel valgus, and the Achilles tendon is pulled, thereby suffering from Achilles tendinitis.
In addition, just like stepping on soft cotton, it is difficult to stand firm. Too soft soles will weaken our control over the soles of the feet, and too soft soles will increase the sting of the feet. , the risk of twisted feet.
“flat shoes” should also be selected in a targeted manner
Summer is coming, in addition to “feces walking” shoes, flat shoes that are light and not tired are also favored However, for some flat shoes, the soles are designed to be thin and hard. Dr. Ma Ming reminded that such shoes should not be selected as much as possible.
Studies have shown that when we walk normally, our feet need to bear a load of 2-3 times our body weight, about 5 times our body weight when running, and up to 10 times when jumping. The vibration function is the key to judging the quality of a pair of shoes, and if the soles of flat shoes are too “thin”, the shock absorption function is usually unsatisfactory. Long-term wearing of such shoes can easily cause pain in the soles of the feet or even the ankles, and also induce ligament inflammation. And plantar fasciitis, so when choosing flat shoes, it is best to choose a style with a soft material and a certain hardness.
So, how can you choose a pair of shoes that are truly fit and healthy? Experts recommend wearing loose shoes as much as possible. If you can wear wide-toed shoes, don’t wear pointed shoes. If you can wear wedges, don’t wear high-heeled shoes. Even if you wear high-heeled shoes, you should try to reduce the wearing time. Sports shoes are ideal for protecting your feet. s Choice.
In terms of sole and hardness, Dr. Ma suggested that first of all, it is recommended to choose shoes with a slightly thicker sole and moderate hardness. Consumers should also choose shoes that have a certain support and protection for our arches. You can touch the arches of the shoes with your hands to see if they are higher than the front and rear. The softness of the shoes can be achieved by twisting the shoes, but not too soft. In addition, when buying shoes, it is most suitable to choose the afternoon time, because the afternoon is usually the time of the day when people’s feet are the most swollen and the most swollen. When wearing new shoes, gradually extend the wearing time. Wear it for half an hour on the first day and another hour on the second day, gradually, to ensure that potential problems are detected in time. Intern Chen Xujia
