Shoes are a daily necessities that people usually wear. Generally speaking, when choosing shoes, people usually only pay attention to the size and style of shoes, but ignore to choose from their own foot shape. Therefore, this paper will share the correct way to choose shoes.
Choose shoes according to the shape of your feet
Geng Shuo suggests that people should choose the right shoes according to the shape of their feet. He suggested that when buying shoes, you should choose a pair of wide head shoes with enough space for toes to move, so as to reduce the pressure of shoes on toes. In addition, the standard shoes with correct arch design have strong shock absorption and decompression effects, which can ensure that the whole body weight borne by the foot is evenly distributed on the sole of the foot when walking, and will not be compressed to the toes due to improper distribution, which will lead to ligament inflammation and relaxation.
Hallux valgus easily caused by improper wearing of shoes
Geng Shuo pointed out that in China, the most incidence rate of foot related diseases caused by improper shoes is thumb hallux valgus. At least 100 million people in the country have hallux valgus, and every woman is at least 20% likely to have hallux valgus in her lifetime.
Hallux valgus, commonly known as the great toe bone, refers to the joint inclination of the hallux and the first metatarsal bone more than 15 degrees. Hallux valgus can be caused by a variety of conditions, which can be divided into congenital factors: it is caused by inherent diseases such as joints, nerves and muscles. Such as flatfoot, heredity, reduction and imbalance of plantar muscle force, etc., which lead to instability and deformation. Postnatal factors are mostly formed by wearing shoes that don't fit your feet, usually shoes with too high, too sharp and too narrow heels, which make it difficult to fix the heels. They squeeze, rub and compress the toes, not only affect the toes' extension and movement, produce discomfort and pain, but also destroy the functions of the original three footholds. When walking, the whole body weight falls on the front of the feet, and the toes will gradually be compressed by the body weight Finally, hallux valgus was formed. Hallux valgus has unsightly foot shape, shoemaking, pollicitis and pain. At the same time, it is often accompanied by foot pad, corns, claw toes and other toe deformities.
Geng Shuo pointed out that the current popular high-heeled shoes and witch shoes are the biggest "culprit" to speed up hallux valgus. Nowadays, the popularity of high-heeled shoes on the street makes women more than four times more likely to suffer from foot disease than men, which seriously affects their normal walking ability and physical health. Hallux valgus needs correction
"At present, conservative correction and surgical treatment are generally used in the treatment of hallux valgus." Geng Shuo introduced that the former is to use the hallux valgus corrector (commonly known as the "big toe bone corrector"), through the balance control of the pressure on both sides of the hallux, to improve the angle of deformity and the force condition of the hallux, so that the hallux bone is in the normal human biomechanical position, and gradually make the pain and deformity relieved and recovered. This method is often used in the correction of hallux valgus and toe deformation, to correct and limit the development of hallux deformity. It can delay the deterioration of hallux valgus and effectively prevent some complications.
The latter is suitable for people with severe pain and severe deformity. The operation is mainly to remove the bursa and hyperplastic bone. If the joint capsule on the medial side of the metatarsophalangeal joint is too loose, it can be compressed by overlapping and sewing part of the joint capsule. Adductor pollicis tendon resection and the first metatarsal osteotomy are also commonly used methods, according to the degree of deformity to choose the best operation.
As mentioned above, when choosing shoes, we should pay attention to the correct methods. Otherwise, it is very easy to waste money due to improper selection and cause foot diseases. Therefore, we must remember the correct method of choosing shoes taught above.
