In the face of a dazzling array of shoes in the store, how can you buy a pair of shoes that fit well and ensure health? If you understand the following questions, you can buy a pair of satisfactory "good shoes".

What kind of shoes fit?

The so-called fit shoes should include two aspects, one is the right size, and the other is the right structure.

The right size means that the shoes are neither too big nor too small. If the shoe is too large, the foot cannot be fully fixed inside, and friction back and forth can easily cause damage; if the shoe is too small, it will squeeze all parts of the foot, resulting in physical damage. The size of a more suitable shoe should be a gap of 1cm between the longest toe tip and the inner edge of the toe tip, and the distance between the toe and the toe tip should be a horizontal finger.

Appropriate structure means that the various components of the shoe are designed and selected reasonably. For example, uppers should choose materials with good air permeability, otherwise it is easy to cover your feet and stink your feet. Sole, should choose elastic material. The design of shoes should pay attention to the support of the arch of the foot.

What kind of shoes are "good shoes"?

A good pair of shoes should technically meet the following conditions: the top surface of the shoes should be comfortable enough, soft and breathable; The front end of the shoe should be loose without squeezing the toes. The joint between the front upper and the middle upper of the shoe should be flexible and can be bent to facilitate the pushing of the front sole when walking. The middle and back parts and the bottom surfaces of the shoes should be strong enough to have good support for the arch of the foot. The sole and heel should be curved shape of a smooth streamline, this facilitates an even distribution of pressure on the sole of the load-bearing foot.

Depending on the purpose, you should also choose shoes with different functions. Before we prepare to climb the mountain, we should buy special hiking boots instead of a pair of running shoes or business leather shoes. If you want to go to snow, you should choose snow boots with waterproof, breathable and warm upper and skid-resistant soles.

buy shoes need to pay attention to what?

First, buy shoes from 3 pm to 6 pm

Because after a day of walking, the feet will swell slightly at this time. If the size selected at this time is not small, then it is no problem to wear it at other times of the day.

Second, don't sit and try on your shoes.

Buying shoes depends not only on the length and width of the shoes, but also on the size of the internal space of the shoes. After putting on new shoes, you must walk, run and jump. If it is a shoe with shoelaces, you should tighten the shoelaces and try again to see if you can squeeze your feet or grind your feet.

Third, you can't just try a shoe.

About 2/3 of the people have different sizes of feet. They have to wear both feet when trying on shoes. Finally, they choose shoes according to the size of the shoes.

Fourth, new shoes do not choose

Some shoes have thicker trademarks, the stitches at the joints of various parts are rough, and the leather at the ankle is too hard and has no elasticity. These injuries will not disappear because of the prolonged wearing time, but the longer the wearing time, the greater the damage to the feet.

Fifth, do not buy cheap shoes

Many people pursue trendy, but are not willing to spend money to buy genuine shoes. Little imagine, "you get what you pay". In order to reduce costs, fake and inferior shoe processors will only produce shoes that look like real shoes, and it is impossible to choose high-quality fabrics used in real shoes, let alone the excellent technology unique to real shoes. Long-term wearing of fake shoes may cause irreparable damage to the feet.
