Misunderstanding one: persimmon pick soft pinch, the old man to buy shoes is also the same
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, the foot first relaxes and the heel strikes the ground. At this time, the heel must bear a large impact force. This kind of impact force can damage the heel, and can also be transmitted along the limb to the spine and brain. The sole can 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 when walking, and can give people a "power boost" when walking. 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 "soft and hard" and usually wear comfortable soft-soled shoes when walking at home or when walking, but need to choose enough hard-soled shoes for long-distance walking or climbing.
Myth two: Flat shoes are comfortable and convenient, and are more suitable for the elderly
So is flat shoes more suitable for the elderly? The answer is: not necessarily.
Flat shoes have the advantage of being evenly distributed and can directly touch the ground with a large degree of comfort and convenience. However, the fat pad of the elderly began to shrink, and the fat pad 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 fat in the heel. 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 winter, a certain thickness of sole can also play a role in keeping warm.
Old people choose shoes 7 elements
1. When you buy a shoe, you should go to the store to try on it. Do not choose the shoe according to the shoe number, because the size of the shoe may not be the same.
2. Do not choose a shoe that is too narrow in front, especially if the front of the elderly should be wider. This will feel more comfortable. If the tip of the shoe is narrow, long-term squeeze may deform the foot.
3. With the change of age, the size of the foot will also change, so it is not possible to choose the shoe with the same shoe size this year.
4. Most people's feet are not the same size, so try the shoes with a larger foot to try on.
5. Buy shoes should go in the afternoon. After a one-night rest in the morning's feet, it is the most “thin†in the day. Therefore, the shoes bought in the morning tend to get crowded in the afternoon and evening.
6. When selecting shoes, don't just sit and try it on. You should stand up and walk a few steps to keep the front of the shoe and the front of the shoe 1cm apart. Shoes that do not press the toes are the most suitable.
7. Choose different shoes according to different activities. Some people encounter a pair of shoes that fit their feet, and "a pair of shoes hit the world." For different activity requirements, a pair of shoes may not be satisfied, and it is also easy to cause injury to the feet during the event.
The elderly should choose "soft and hard"
