Shoes that understand the science of your feet

Most of us assume that any shoe and any brand will work for our feet. But we need to understand the science of footwear and the needs of our feet before selecting a shoe. Shoes bear so much, our body weight, the environment that we live in, the surface that we walk on and most importantly the trends that are prevailing.

The key points while selecting shoes are:

1. Humans are adapted for walking and running, but injury rates are high due to wrong shoes.
2. A mismatch between the structure and function of our feet and the design of modern footwear explain the impact they have on our feet and the chances of being hurt.
3. Modern footwear can cause foot structure deformity and can impair foot function.

So it’s important to understand foot requirement and the kind of footwear you need to choose.

Brands that work on science and technique-

Shoes are one of the most impactful fashion pieces. Despite having full knowledge of the fact that wearing heels could alter the anatomy and affect the posture, women love it. So, what is the best possible solution? The simple answer is to buy that suits your body the best. Here are some tips from fashion and physio experts:

Fitness First

Ideally, there should be the right balance of size and fitness without sacrificing the fashion statement. The shoe should not be too long and too wide, leaving the gap between shoe and heel and arch areas. The gap results in mobility within the shoe, leading to pain and discomfort. The best solution is to measure the length and width of your feet every time you buy a new pair of heels as size changes dramatically with age and brand.

Wide toes, higher arch, or less foot cushion are common problems of athletes and fitness freaks, Propet Shoes make shoes for people with wider foot structure and provide ample cushioning for heels.

Right Heel Height

The intensity of pain in the ball of the foot is directly proportional to the height of the heel height. Higher heel generates higher stress on the ball of the foot, knee, and ankle. You have to be very cautious about the exactness of the heel height according to your body mass index (BMI) and tallness. Yes, fashion matters but not more than your health and feet. Thanks to tech advancement in material technology, the memory foam pillow included in some of the shoes keep your foot in the right position and counters inward rolling.

Sole Bliss Shoes have innovative shoes that focus on patent-pending Comfort Technology with anti-bacterial, triple layer memory foam custom-cushioning to offer maximum support and comfort. The exclusive Bunion Bed feature makes their shoes perfect for those who are looking for extra heel height as this offers a responsive side panel for optimum comfort.

Inner Mobility Control and Size

If you want to avoid the ankle sprain caused by long-use of fashionable shoes, you should opt for shoes that offer the right fitness with optimum inner motion. You should pay special attention to the ankle strap and cushion material across the toes for additional support. Brands like Nike manufactures varied sizes such as 5.5, 6.5, 8.5, to fit your feet. As per the brand, most people wear wrong sizes leading to injured feet or deformities. Nike Fit app helps you to calculate your shoe size better.

Pointed Toe Torture

Pointy-toed shoes are one of the most loved shoes by women across the world despite the discomfort and pain it creates. Pushing toes in the cramped pointed space and keeping it in balance with a high heel is an unbearable compromise one has to make to look fashionable. Thankfully, some of the brands like Naturalizer comes with balanced design and quality shoe toe material to give optimum comfort and stability for a smooth, joyful walk. Smart rounded toe box designing with comfortable material across the toes makes their shoes the most cushioned ones in the market and they keep you away from the challenges of toe contractures like the hammer toes and bunion deformity.

Bunion Feet

A bunion is a small bump that gets develops on the joint of your big toe. It happens when some of the bones in the front part of your foot are dislocated causing the tip of your toe to protrude outwards. The skin over this bunion bump might get red and sore if the person isn’t wearing the right shoe. There are brands that. Make specialized shoes for bunion, Vionic, Naturalizer and Sole Bliss are a few to mention. Their shoes offer optimum cushioning to the pulled-out toe and keep them comfortable.
