How to choose a pair of comfortable and fit shoes to give your feet a comfortable environment? Xiaobian summarized some “secrets of choosing shoes” for everyone, so that people will no longer worry about choosing shoes.
suitable shoes do not need a “running in” period
Many people mistakenly believe that new shoes have a “running in” period, and will “heel” after wearing them for a period of time. In fact, good quality and suitable new shoes will be very comfortable to wear. Generally speaking, a fitting shoe does not press the instep. There is about a thumb space in front of the shoe. The front foot must have certain swing space. The rear heel cannot swing. There is no friction between the heel and the shoe banger. Moreover, everyone’s feet are different in size. When trying on shoes, we should focus on the comfort of larger feet. We must stand up and walk a few steps to see if both shoes follow.
special foot shape with special insole
It is relatively easy to buy shoes for general foot types, but some people’s feet are flat feet or high arches, so they have to pay attention to buying shoes and matching insoles. How do you know your foot shape? Here is a simple test method: wet the soles of your feet and print them on thin paper. If you are flat footed, the arch of the inner side of the sole of the foot is small, and the whole footplate is almost close to the ground when you stand.
Those with high arched feet, on the other hand, have too high an arch to get close to the ground. People with flat feet should choose shoes with arch pads on the soles and hard heels, otherwise they are prone to plantar fasciitis; People with high arches should choose softer insoles or air cushions to reduce the harm of shock to their feet.
old people’s shoes should be soft and have a little heel.
The elderly are also very particular when choosing shoes, and it is best to wear shoes with soft straps and a little heel. The height of the heel should be about 2cm higher than the forefoot of the sole. In addition to paying attention to the height of the heel, the soles of the elderly can be slightly larger. Generally speaking, leather shoes with tendon soles are a good choice.
sports shoes are not suitable for all sports.
The sole of sports shoes is elastic, which can play a buffer role in running and jumping. Some people think that as long as the sole is not cracked, it can be worn. In fact, some sports shoes are not damaged on the surface, but the soft rubber of their soles has been excessively worn and has lost its protective effect.
In addition, different shoes should be selected for different sports. It is suitable to wear running shoes when running, and the size of the shoes should be larger to ensure the full stretch of the feet; When playing tennis, because there are many stops and twists, the upper should be thick and it is best to choose cow leather shoes; In basketball, because there are many bumps and jumps, the upper requirements are high, so as to give better protection to joints and reduce the chance of spraining ankles and knees.
