[ Chinese shoes network - shoes and life] As the saying goes, "The shoes are good, only the feet know." When people are old, many things have become unrefined. Many elderly people are very economical. A pair of shoes are too long to be thrown. Some people are afraid of being too lazy to try on their own and simply let their children buy it.
"After people are old, the skeletal structure of the foot will change, and the degeneration of the muscles and ligaments of the foot will lead to the gradual loss of the elasticity of the arches and the reduction of the body's weight-bearing ability. It will be easier to fatigue when walking on the road, especially for older women." City Huang Aokun, an expert in foot and ankle surgery at the General Hospital of Ai'ai City, told reporters that the elderly have more demands on shoes and they are not allowed to be sloppy. "A lot of people in clinics can't find the reason for long-term foot pain. Changing the pair of shoes and putting a cushion inside will not hurt him."
The American Orthopaedic Association pointed out that 1/3 of elderly people over the age of 65 have foot problems. According to data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, foot problems in adults are related to a variety of factors, of which 64% are due to inappropriate shoes.
"Europe and the United States and Hong Kong people attach great importance to shoes. They prefer functional shoes." Huang Ruokun said that the sales volume of a 40-square-meter shoe shop in Hong Kong's subway station is equivalent to sales in the entire mainland market. Many people in China buy shoes, the first thing to consider is the good-looking style, and almost no one considers foot health.
At present, the main problems for the elderly to wear shoes are: large shoes, easy to separate from the feet, need to spend more effort to fix the shoes when walking, feel tired after long-term down foot; fabric is too soft, such as cloth shoes, lack of shock absorption, coating Design; heel is too high, so that the elderly are more likely to sprain the ankle in a poor sense of balance. He said that the core principle of buying shoes is "fitting feet", that is, the structure of the shoes should be adapted to the needs of the feet. It is better to follow the principle of "wide front shoes, tough shoes, and hard heels." "My shoes are mainly loose shoes with loose toes, slightly stiff soles, and casual shoes with a little heel."
Huang Ruokun said that the function of the shoes is mainly concentrated on the soles of the shoes. Many people think that the soles are softer and more healthy. In fact, this is not conducive to the soles of the foot arch enough support, that kind of twist can be twisted into a "thorn"-shaped shoes most suitable for the elderly.
He introduced that a good old man's shoes should be harder on the outer layer of the sole to prevent it from being scratched by a hard object; the inner layer should be softer, and the cushioned air should be the best, with a cushioning effect. If the middle arch is slightly elevated, All right. The best tapered shoe sole, the so-called "cone" sole refers to the width of the sole from top to bottom gradually increased, this type of soles and the ground contact area, good stability.
"It's best to pick two pairs of shoes." He explained that the old man's feet are most afraid of crowding. It doesn't matter if the shoes are a little looser. Tied or gluing shoes can be adjusted at any time fat, compared with the feet, the most suitable for the elderly. In addition, the heel is also very important, we must obey. You can pick up the toe or heel forward or back to see if the shoe can completely wrap the foot.
The fat pad of the old man's heel becomes thin. If he accidentally steps on the pebbles, the heel will be very painful. The chance of plantar fasciitis will also increase. The heel is best at 2-2.5 cm. The road is more labor-saving.
Huang Ruo-kun reminded that the old man must buy shoes in person to try. When the shoes are tested, both wear ten minutes. Once you feel uncomfortable wearing it, take it off quickly. Foot pain elderly, it is best to customize shoes to reduce pain; old people with heel spurs, can be used with heel hollow insole, so that the pressure around the spur to ease.
