Summer shoes loved by Russian women were included in the lists of dangerous
Summer flat-soled sandals, which in Russia are often called slates, turned out to be shoes hazardous to women's health... This is the conclusion reached by experts at the Wake Forest Medical Center in North Carolina.
They conducted a large-scale study and found that in slates, a person has to bend his toes in order to keep the slipper on his foot, to prevent it from falling.
This leads to gait changes and a shift in the fulcrum.
If you often wear such shoes, experts say, planar fasciitis can develop, accompanied by severe pain in the heels and a gradual curvature of the spine.
But you shouldn't give up sandals if they are your favorite shoes. You just need to choose them correctly.
To avoid problems with the health of the musculoskeletal system, experts advise buying models that, when walking, can bend in the same place as the foot.
Slates should be taken with a soft and flexible sole.
Do not wear such shoes, according to the researchers. if you have to spend the whole day on your feet, moving a lot, and you should also not drive a car in them, because one of a pair of shoes can easily get stuck between the car pedals.
A good alternative might be this summer platform sandals, this fashion comes from the 90s, but this season it is very relevant.
A platform that is too high can also pose a health hazard, and therefore it is better to choose platforms that do not exceed 3 centimeters in height.
