The road is slippery in winter, what kind of anti-skid shoes should the elderly choose?

In winter in the north, the asphalt road is always covered with a thick layer of snow, and the most snowy time is the Spring Festival, so it is inevitable to go out. However, the slippery road surface is a big problem in snowy days, especially when the elderly at home accidentally fall down. Anti-skid shoes may solve this problem.

To buy a pair of good non-slip shoes, besides the sole material, we should also pay attention to the grain and hardness of the sole. At present, the common anti-skid grade is European safety shoes, which are divided into SRA, SRB and SRC, and the grades are increasing in turn. In addition, when the anti-skid shoes pass the A-level and B-level tests at the same time, they pass the C-level test, and the C-level anti-skid shoes are suitable for almost all working environments that need anti-skid.

The anti-slip grade to meet the daily wear needs is not as high as Grade C, and the common sole material on the market is rubber. Although this material is wear-resistant, it is easy to break the bottom and it is not recommended to buy it. TPR material is recommended as a good anti-slip material, which is more wear-resistant and lighter, and has better anti-slip effect.

In addition to non-slip materials, the sole lines should be just right. The grooves and patterns of the sole should be deep and complex, so that it is not easy to accumulate things like snowflakes and dirt, which will affect the anti-skid performance. Also choose a soft sole, but not too soft. Soft soles are more comfortable to wear. Too soft soles will affect the center of gravity when walking. Too hard soles will not only hurt feet when walking, but also it is difficult to judge the stress on the ground, which will affect the anti-skid performance.

It should also be noted that, especially for the elderly, when purchasing non-slip shoes, you can't buy flat-bottomed, high-heeled and low-heeled shoes. Flat shoes have poor stability and are easy to fall; High heels are also a little careless, and walking in a hurry may cause accidents; However, low-heeled shoes do not have ankle protection function, and the ankle protection function of high-heeled shoes is not as powerful as high-heeled shoes when sprained.

Therefore, when the elderly choose non-slip shoes, they should buy soles with many grooves, non-slip materials, wear-resistant soft soles, and medium-high uppers. Some heels are the best, and the heel height should be about two centimeters.
