Flat shoes can cause injuries and deformities to the toes, but some studies show that this type of flat shoe can reduce stress on the knees and increase foot strength – you just need to choose the right pair. It has been reported Speech.
Many flat shoes have a shallow and narrow nose. Tight shoes restrict the movement of the foot and ultimately lead to deformation of the bones of the toes. Excessive movement of the foot in excessively wide-toed shoes can cause calluses and calluses. An unsuitable sock can also cause microtrauma to the toenails, which ultimately damages the thickness of the nail plate.
Health professionals often recommend wearing low heels instead of completely flat shoes; this can put more pressure on the soft tissues that support the arch of the foot, especially the plantar fascia. Research has shown that switching from a fully flat shoe to a slightly raised heel reduces the traction force of the plantar fascia during standing. Other experiments have shown that most people can adapt to shoes with different heel heights.
Ballet flat shoes are often blamed for a lack of support, due to the flexible and thin sole and heel contraption. Shoe experts, however, could not agree on how necessary this was. Additional cushioning can increase comfort and reduce pressure on the skin on the sole of the foot, but there is no evidence that it reduces pressure on the ankle and overlying joints.
Studies of minimalist “barefoot” shoes have shown that they significantly reduce pressure on the knees compared to traditional boots. The flexible sole has also been found to increase the strength of certain muscles in the foot that are used to get off the ground while walking, running or jumping.
But the data continues to be contradictory, so there is no firm verdict on the dangers or benefits of ballet shoes.
However, there is evidence that flat shoes that do not fit properly can lead to foot, ankle and knee injuries. The authors of an article in The Conversation suggested choosing shoes that don’t pinch the toes and have a sole no less than a foot wide to increase the chances of getting the right pair. Some support and heel are preferred instead of a very flexible and flat sole.
