What should the elderly pay attention to when wearing shoes?

Wearing shoes is the most important thing for the elderly to keep healthy. When people get old, the pentapod tissue degenerates. Aging of foot will lead to atrophy and thinning of plantar fat pad, rigidity and fragility of ankle bone, collapse and flattening of arch tendon, deformity of toe valgus and imbalance of ankle ligament. The old man's walking feet are tired and painful. Most of them are caused by wearing inappropriate shoes. Old people are very particular about wearing shoes.

What kind of shoes are not suitable for the elderly?

Shoes are big and easy to separate from feet. It takes a lot of effort to repair shoes when walking, and your feet will feel tired after a long time. Fabric is too soft, such as cloth shoes, lacking shock absorption and package design; High heels are too high, and the elderly are more likely to sprain their ankles when their balance is poor.

What should the elderly pay attention to when choosing shoes?

Old people should follow the principle of "wide in front, tough in middle and hard in heel" when choosing shoes. That is, at least one centimeter should be left in front of the toes, leaving enough space for the toes to move; The middle of the shoe has moderate toughness and is not easy to sprain. When picking shoes, you can twist them by hand, but you can't twist them or twist them into a "twisted" shape. The fat pad on the heel of the elderly becomes thinner and the cushioning ability becomes weaker. If you accidentally step on pebbles, your heel will hurt easily and the probability of plantar fasciitis will increase. Therefore, the heel should have a certain hardness, at least 2-3 cm high, to help disperse the pressure on the soles of the feet. In addition, the elderly should wear shoes with good air permeability, such as sports shoes, and try to avoid materials such as plastic; It is best to use adhesive buttons, shoe buttons, etc. Because shoelaces are not only easy to loosen, but also increase the risk of tripping for the elderly.

Old people should wear special shoes for the elderly. Professional shoes for the elderly are designed according to the foot shape and biomechanics of the elderly, which are more comfortable and safer to wear.

Widen the front of the shoes, heighten the back of the shoes and widen the soles, so that the old people can wear them without squeezing their feet or grinding their feet;

Magic shoe waist, gluing design, can be adjusted by the elderly to grasp the tightness of shoes, easy to put on and take off, comfortable to wear;

The ingot vamp firmly fits the ankle and does not sprain the ankle when walking;

Balanced support insole, arch-like shape, high elastic PU material, which fits the arch. Old people with foot pads and heel pain are comfortable to wear soft elastic bands;

1+ 1 Double-layer damping space, which protects the soles of feet, supports the arch of feet, and cushions the impact of hard surfaces on the bones and joints of feet, so that the feet feel strong and not tired when walking.

Wear rubber soles, cube cross grain anti-slip design, strong ground grip, the soles do not slip, to prevent the elderly from accidentally falling, to protect the safety of the elderly travel.
