The shoes are not designed to mold to the shape of our feet. Instead of our feet are forced to conform to the shape of your shoes . Over time , our feet lose their flexibility . Interestingly, when flexibility is lost , it becomes painful to walk without shoes . Some people interpret this as evidence that walking barefoot is not good for them. Whenever you change the distance between the attachments of muscles , weakness done. As humans , we abuse our feet a lot . The Company has determined that high heels and unusual approach they produce are "sexy" . In general, we are more fashion conscious than we are in our overall health. As an osteopath physician, I want to describe some strains that I found almost universally in my patients. After investigation , I have determined that there are some designs in most shoes that are very guilty .

Compressed toes : Watch your toes. Do you have all the space between your toes? Chances are you probably do not . Over time people develop toes that overlap or are notched their toes if they are separated . This also leads to many problems, including bunions your big toe bends towards chronic midfoot . The feet of those who never wears shoes naturally the space between your toes. The rest of us stormed by our toes shoes. Shoemakers are pointe shoes at the front , because " it looks better . " As your fingers are compressed , they become less functional . Most people can not curl your toes without foot cramps . Seems toes right to the highest dividers to help this problem with the shoes boxes have wide feet as the brand VIVOBAREFOOT .

Narrow base wider feet is more stable than a narrow base , wide but not considered attractive shoes. Therefore, we put the shoes are narrower than our feet. Finally, the small muscles between the long bones of the foot , the metatarsals become permanently contracted . Besides the small tarsal bones , foot, compress and lose their range of motion. The result is that we end up with tapered legs that lack of flexibility . I found that the release of tension in the small muscles between aid metatarsal restore some range of motion of the tarsal bones , muscles relax chronic calf tight, and sometimes even in the sacroiliac (SI) joints.

The range of motion decreased heel : Because running shoes produce an amazing heel, the heel absorbs shock of each step. The pad is designed to absorb shocks. Driving your heel on the ground with each step causes the heel to compress not only to the ankle , but also repulsed. Over time , the cord may be permanently achieved . A problem at the junction between the heel bone and the bones of the foot can refer pain in the bottom of the foot that can mimic and is often misdiagnosed as plantar fasciitis. In addition, the heel accessories for plantar fascia and calf muscles by the Achilles tendon. Therefore , a malfunction in the curing chronic heel take muscles associated therewith , including the calf and the above problems .

Tight plantar fascia : The plantar fascia is a toe heel resistant anchoring connective tissue . Because the plantar fascia is associated with the toes and the heel bone , which responds to failures associated with them , such as muscle contraction . Therefore, the more the foot changes shape , a further tightening of the plantar fascia. As surprising diversion drift can irritate and cause inflammation which can be another cause of plantar fasciitis. To make matters worse , the arch supports in shoes abnormal stretching of the plantar fascia further irritate .

Metatarsals Eliminated : If you ever see a woman walking in high heels, you'll notice that each step of the soles of the feet are pulled to the ground and toes powered up at an abnormal angle . Over time , it is constantly changing the joints of the toes. What happens is that the balls of the foot drop , becoming exposed and painful to walk . This is called metatarsalgia . This is much more pronounced in high heels , but also with most shoes . If you put your shoe on a flat surface , usually the tip angle up . This is because the shoes including sports shoes, are so rigid and immobilized at his feet , so that the shoe is built with the effect of " rocker ". This feature shows your toes at all times when you wear shoes and can cause metatarsalgia .

The solution to most problems is to work to maintain flexibility and strength of your feet and especially in the structures mentioned above. Shoe chronic wear leads to specific changes that make flexibility and function the way it was originally intended to be lost in the feet. This can lead to many diseases of the foot that are attributed to other things.
