As the saying goes: "shoes are good, only the feet know." In fact, even if the feet are sensitive, sometimes they may not be able to choose the right shoes. Ankle surgeons deal with all kinds of sick feet every day, so they are particularly picky when choosing shoes. So, what shoes are worth buying in their eyes?

Children's shoes wear comfortable "will breathe"

Children's shoes that are conducive to the development of children's feet are high-quality children's shoes. What do you need to pay attention to the selection of children's shoes and what are the skills?

The first step: pick the size

Under normal circumstances, children, especially babies, occasionally pick and choose the appearance of shoes, but they are often not sensitive to the size of shoes. Therefore, the burden of choosing the right size shoes falls on parents.

When selecting, the direct method is to let the child try it on directly. Different shoes are different in size, width and height. After wearing, the length of the shoes has a gap from half to one finger (1cm to 1.5cm), so that the child's little feet will not feel cramped during normal activities. If you buy online or your child cannot try it on directly, you can let your child stand barefoot on A4 paper, draw the outline, and then compare the inner length parameters or insoles of the new shoes. If the length of the insole is smaller than the contour, it is naturally inappropriate.

A few days before each change of new shoes, children should pay attention to observe whether there is skin damage or toenail deformation on their toes and toenails, and whether the skin is red or worn. If there is, it means that these shoes are not suitable for him. Some parents are more careless, children wear shoes improperly will wear out corns, causing serious pain.

After reading the length and width, pay attention to the height of the shoes. The height of each child's instep is not the same. Some children have higher arches or more meat on their feet. When choosing shoes for them, parents should pay special attention to whether the instep will grind the instep or whether there will be any indentation on the instep after wearing them. If so, replace it in time and don't wronged the baby's feet.

The second step: pick hard and soft

Children's soles should not be too soft and too hard. The ideal state is that the first 1/3 should be softer and the second 2/3 can be harder. The judgment method is to bend the sole, and the bending point needs to appear at the front sole, that is, the metatarsal head, that is, the junction of the front 1/3 and the rear 2/3 of the shoe. The front of such a shoe is soft and allows the toes to move freely, and the middle and back of the shoe have enough strength to support the arch of the foot.

When the weight of the child is greater than 30kg, pay special attention to the child's exercise intensity when buying shoes. Some running shoes or sports shoes are too soft. When changing directions, accelerating or playing ball games, the upper strength is not enough, and it will twist itself, which cannot provide sufficient protection for the child's ankle. Therefore, this kind of soft shoes should not continue to be worn in the occasion of intense exercise, only when walking or jogging can be worn.

The third step: pick fabric

Children can't sit still and jump up and down every day. When they reach puberty, they will participate in various sports activities, and it is inevitable that their feet sweat. Therefore, when choosing shoes for them, breathability is a very important indicator. Breathability mainly depends on the fabric of the shoes. In addition, some sports shoes will also design some ventilation holes. Through these details, you can choose shoes that "breathe.

From the effect, you can check whether the child's socks are easy to wet. If you take off your shoes, some of the socks are like water, or there are obvious sweat stains on your toes, consider that the socks are not suitable, or the shoes are not breathable. Too wet shoes inside the environment easy to breed bacteria, may cause fungal infection. Therefore, in the face of this situation to replace socks and shoes. For the sweaty feet of teenagers, 2~3 pairs of shoes can be prepared for rotation, and the wet shoes inside will be fully dried in a ventilated place every day before continuing to wear.

To buy shoes for children, it is recommended to choose not to tie. Because he may not be able to tie his shoelaces yet, and loosening his shoelaces can also cause fetters to fall.

In daily life, parents should always pay attention to whether their children's shoes are deformed. If you wear 1 to 3 months later, found that the shoes curl, the performance of the soles on the ground appear bent, which suggests that he needs a new pair of shoes. You can also gently press the upper with your hand to see if there is overall shaking and shaking due to unevenness, and to see if there are left and right arc surfaces or uneven arc surfaces in front. These are all signals for changing shoes.

Sports shoes follow the sports selection

Choose sports shoes to pay attention to the functionality of shoes. Different sports, the requirements for shoes are not exactly the same. For example, tennis shoes need a relatively wide forefoot, which will not be twisted to avoid sprains. The back of basketball shoes will have soft protection, and the heel and ankle will be higher to avoid kicking and stepping injuries and reduce the risk of ankle sprains.

The choice of sports shoes is mainly to ensure that the size of the shoes is appropriate, usually choose lace-up shoes or knob-type fast shoelaces, so that the shoes are more heel, not easy to fall off or twist during intense activities. The back of the shoe fits the foot, and the toenail will not be squeezed by the inside of the shoe during running direction-changing exercise. The two sides of the shoe and the sole of the shoe should be solid and firm, with certain rigidity, and the shoe will not fall off and sprain the foot during direction-changing running.

The upper should be breathable, sweating more during exercise, airtight shoes will cause skin sweat immersion, prone to fungal infection. The socks you wear should also be made of cotton socks, so that the air permeability is better, and at the same time, it does not slip during exercise. Once the shoe is too slippery, it is easy to cause blisters in the plantar force area.

Some people find their toenails darkened after exercise, a condition called subungual hematoma. This is often caused by the wrong choice of shoes, the squeezing of the toe with the upper when the toe is bent back during the movement, or the collision of the toe nail with the front of the shoe during running. Some shoes have a very low front chamber and squeeze the back of the toe when bending. Such shoes should be avoided. Subnail hematoma may cause toe infection, accompanied by pain, at this time should go to the hospital for emergency treatment, usually after disinfection with needle drainage bleeding, can reduce pain, and avoid further infection.

Every pair of shoes has a life span, wear and tear and deformation. When the shoe is deformed, or the texture of the sole has been ground flat, or the insole has been stepped on the depression and deformation, it needs to be replaced. The life of shoes is obviously related to weight, amount of exercise, and the ground conditions of walking at ordinary times. The short ones may have been severely worn for about one and a half months, while those shoes that are only worn on special occasions, only worn a few times a year, and do not walk much may be worn for 5 to 6 years. It is recommended to prepare a few more pairs of shoes to wear in rotation, and replace them in time when they are worn.

The old man's shoes are soft inside and non-slip outside.

At present, some shoes use the logo of elderly shoes, claiming to be designed for elderly patients, but the market is mixed, the selection can be from the following details, such as size, breathability and sole situation.

The elderly choose shoes and children choose shoes, have the same requirements in size. Pay attention to the actual size of the foot and the size of the inside of the shoe, not just the appearance of the shoe. The appearance is only the design and style of the shoes, and cannot correspond to the comfort of wearing, and does not determine the size of the space inside the shoes. Relatively speaking, the elderly usually need to wear more spacious shoes due to changes in ligaments and bones.

Compared with other age groups, the elderly will have less activity, and the feet sweat and the shoes are relatively less wet, but the shoes for the elderly should also pay attention to breathability. Because the elderly often have poor blood circulation in the feet, if the shoes are not properly worn, they are more likely to have toenail malnutrition or fungal infections. Especially with diabetes, lower extremity vascular disease such as varicose veins in the elderly, but also prone to foot swelling and skin dystrophy. At this time, whether the shoes are loose and breathable is particularly important. By the same token, because the old man's feet are very "delicate", in the cold winter, but also take into account the warmth of the shoes.

The shoes of the elderly should also pay attention to the convenience of wearing shoes, such as the buckle form is easier to put on and take off. Some people will wear the popular lazy shoes, commonly known as "one pedal". Although they are also very comfortable and convenient, they are not suitable for the elderly who often go out to participate in more strenuous sports, because the shoes may fall off during running, shuttlecock kicking and other activities.
