Since entering the winter, many elderly people like to wear flat shoes, think it is light, comfortable, and non-slip safety. However, doctors advise that the elderly should wear shoes to master the best height, too high or too low are not conducive to the health of the elderly, especially prone to senile fractures.

According to doctors, healthy people have foot arches on the soles of their feet. They are composed of bones, muscles, and ligaments, and they have a certain degree of elasticity. They can absorb and buffer shocks generated during walking and avoid fatigue and shocks from the heel to the brain. The elderly should not wear heels too low, mainly due to the following reasons:
First, due to degenerative changes in the medial muscles and ligaments of the feet of the elderly, muscle tension and ligament resilience are significantly reduced, and arch flexibility and weight bearing capacity are also significantly reduced. Once standing or walking for a long time, there will be sufficient Pain in knees, knees, hips and waist;
The second is that old people don't wear shoes that are stable when standing, but they have the greatest directional rotation, which can easily cause damage to the feet and other parts and chronic strain. Especially when the old people put on flat shoes, the arch's cushioning force is reduced, and it is very easy to cause a fracture at the moment of improper force of the foot.
Third, if the elderly wear heels too low, it will increase the weight of the hind foot, accounting for about 60% of body weight, thereby accelerating the plantar ligament and bone tissue degradation, causing heel pain, dizziness and headache and other discomfort;
Fourth, the soles of the flat shoes are too thin and flat, and the winter ground is too cold, which is not conducive to keeping the feet warm. Older people often suffer from lack of energy and are prone to "cold from the feet";
Fifth, the slip resistance of flat shoes is relatively poor, which can easily cause accidental falls.
Doctors remind people that when they wear shoes, the elderly should pay attention to selecting shoes with a heel of more than two centimeters, so as to effectively protect the arch of the foot and relieve foot strain. Second, we must pay attention to the shoes that are slightly larger at the bottom and increase the contact surface with the ground, which can effectively prevent falls. Third, we must pay attention to the bottom slightly softer and thicker shoes, to reduce the impact on the ground directly on the foot to ease the fatigue of the foot. Fourth, we must pay attention to the selection of good quality shoes, such as travel shoes, soft-soled shoes, plastic shoes, etc., to protect the body's balance of gravity.
