Many elderly people are most worried about the choice of shoes, not a trick, not the size is not appropriate, but how to wear is not comfortable. According to the American College of Foot and Foot Surgery, some people with foot problems are related to inappropriate shoes. Improper shoes affect the development of the arch, change the shape of the foot and walking gait, and even cause lesions in the knee, hip, spine and other parts. Due to the special physique of the elderly, when choosing shoes, pay attention to the following misunderstandings.

Misunderstanding 1: flat shoes are more suitable for the elderly

So is flat shoes more suitable for the elderly? The answer is: not necessarily.

The advantage of flat shoes is that the force is even and can be directly contacted to the ground to the maximum, comfortable and convenient. However, the heel fat pad of the elderly began to shrink, and the fat pad was needed to absorb the impact of the ground on the human body when walking. Therefore, the heel of about 3 cm in height can make up for the atrophy of the heel fat. In addition, the elderly are relatively poor in body conditioning ability, wearing flat shoes need more energy at the start, so easy to sprain the foot. In the winter, - the thickness of the soles can also play a warm role.

Misunderstanding 2: The persimmon picks soft, the old man buys the same shoes

Some elderly people pursue softer and better standards when choosing shoes. However, it should be noted that soft-soled shoes are light and easy to wear, which can relieve the pain caused by foot degeneration in the elderly, but it will make the feet more laborious. Why shouldn't older people buy shoes as soft as possible? Start with the principle of walking.

First of all, the mechanism of human walking is very complicated and requires the cooperation of various bones and muscles of the foot. When walking, first the foot is relaxed, and the heel strikes the ground. At this time, the heel is subject to great impact. This kind of impact can damage the heel, and can also be transmitted along the limb to the spine and the brain. The soles support and relieve the impact of the foot to a certain extent, but if the sole is too soft, the supporting force is not enough.

Second, when the person walks, the heel lifts, the midfoot becomes stiff, the forefoot flexes, and the body pushes forward. At this time, the shoes can play a role in assisting and pushing. However, the impetus of the elderly's feet becomes weaker, and if the shoes are too soft, it is not conducive to lifting the heel.

In addition, some of the benefits of hard-soled shoes are not found in soft-soled shoes. The rigid boat-shaped sole simulates the flexion of the foot during walking and can give people a "power boost." Not only soles, but also a certain hardness of the back of the shoe can also resist extrusion, and the high and hard back help can give the heel more support. In fact, the elderly should buy shoes with both "soft and hard."
