Flip flops, simple and convenient, are the priority for many men and women! However, there is a certain harm in wearing flip flops. Throwing them early is healthy! Come and have a look.
Hazards of
① Easy to cause foot injury
The soles of flip flops look very soft and comfortable. However, most of the soles of flip flops are too flat and thin to give strong support to the arch of the foot. Walking for a long time can easily lead to leg and foot muscle fatigue.
② Easy to cause foot fatigue
Because only two thin belts are used to connect the shoes and feet, and only the power of toes can be used to 'strap' forward, when wearing flip flops, the front feet and toes will be unconsciously tightened for a long time, and the soles will be 'picked up' in a curled shape, which will cause strain of toe flexor tendons and even inflammation of fascia for a long time.
③ Cause 'inside eight characters'
When walking with flip flops, people often subconsciously change their gait due to the instability of their feet when walking with slippers, such as: the gait is smaller, the frequency is faster, and the ankle joint is turned to the inside to 'hold' the shoes, so as to make up for the lack of 'flip flops'. For a long time, there will be "eight characters inside" with toes facing each other and soles facing outward when walking.
④ No support for the ankle
In the summer, sprains to the ankles are common because of people's love for flip flops. In addition, when wearing a thin bottom flip flop, the body's center of gravity will unconsciously lean forward, greatly increasing the pressure on the ankle, which is easy to lead to calf muscle sprain and plantar fasciitis. In the long run, the cartilage between the ankle and the knee bone will also degenerate, leading to hyperosteogeny and even the appearance of bone spur.
