High-heeled shoes are one of the necessary “dress up” items for many young women, but there are obvious pitfalls associated with high heels. Now the proportion of women suffering from foot disease is more than ten times higher than that of men, which is due to the discomfort of women wearing shoes. A normal person to walk an average of about 4,000 steps a day, walking foot pressure is about equal to their own body weight, running more to reach the weight of 3-4 times. Under normal circumstances, each person’s arch, heel are reasonable distribution from the calf shin bone from the whole body weight pressure. High heels why hurt feet High heels “hurt people” is that the high heels heel design is not in line with human mechanics, so that the original uniform foot point of impact change, destroying the normal gravity transfer load line, weight-bearing area forward, the front foot of the load is too large, which brings a lot of forefoot disease. In addition, the pointed toe of high heels will also squeeze the forefoot, so that the sole of the foot deformation, is the cause of many diseases. Long-term wearing of high-heeled shoes will also cause metatarsalgia (dorsalgia), bursitis, corns and other foot diseases, some young women, thought every foot pain can be eliminated with a massage or footbath pain, but these physical therapy measures, only to relax the muscles, but can not make up for the pressure on the bones and joints caused by the damage. High-heeled shoes not only hurt the feet after wearing high heels, the body will be leaning forward, involving the knees and waist to bear the pressure. Wearing high heels in order to maintain balance, the muscles of the lower body for a long time in a state of excessive tension caused by local pain and weakness, it is very easy to sprain, and even cause serious internal and external ankle fracture. In the hospital emergency department, because of wearing high heels sprained ankle, even fracture cases are common. The incidence of osteoarthritis of the knee joint in women is twice as high as in men, but this cannot be explained by the difference in the internal biomechanical structure of the human body between men and women. Because studies have shown that when walking barefoot, women and men have the same degree of knee inversion and are subjected to the same anterior-posterior torsion. Fine-heeled shoes can aggravate knee inversion and anterior-posterior torsion of the knee joint, and this increase in torsion will induce osteoarthritis of the knee joint, which has been confirmed by the medical profession. How should wear high heels Current research suggests that the height of high heels worn by women is best at 3-5 centimeters, with a health limit of 7 centimeters. When wearing high heels, you can do a soft insole in the forefoot or heel and other pressure, reduce the pressure borne by the soles of the feet; heels should not be too small, otherwise it is difficult to support the weight of the stability, and the toe should be slightly loose, so that the palm of the foot and toes a little more space. Adolescent women are not suitable to wear high heels, it is best to wear shoes with a heel of no more than 3 centimeters. Women’s foot bone development mature in 15-16 years old, too early to wear high-heeled shoes so that the foot bone according to the angle of high-heeled shoes to complete the process of ossification, easy to deformity. High-heeled shoes should not be worn every day, need to stand for a long time, walking women, may wish to prepare a pair of comfortable flat shoes in the office, and high-heeled shoes alternately, to reduce local fatigue. After returning home from work to soak the feet in warm water for at least 5 minutes, every day to strengthen the ankles and strengthen the movement, and do some foot relaxation exercise, once the sprain should be promptly to the hospital for treatment. Love of beauty should be measured, sometimes, between love of beauty and health need to make a difficult choice. From a scientific point of view, it is recommended that ladies minimize the time spent in high heels.
