Shoes are not only a stylish accessory, but also a guarantee of the health of our feet. Improperly selected shoes can lead to serious problems such as foot deformities, back pain, and even varicose veins.
What shoes are the worst for your feet and legs
High heels
These shoes are at the top of the list of the worst! Yes, they may look spectacular, but the constant wearing of high heels shifts the center of gravity of the body, which leads to muscle overstrain and deformation of the foot.
Flat-soled shoes
Ballet flats, flip-flops, and other shoes without heels do not provide enough support for the foot, which can lead to flat feet and heel pain.
Narrow shoes
Shoes with narrow toes squeeze your toes, which can cause deformation and calluses.
Shoes with hard soles
These shoes restrict foot movement, which can lead to joint and muscle pain.
Platform shoes
Although the platform may seem comfortable, it does not provide enough flexibility in the foot, which can lead to injury.

How to choose safe and comfortable shoes
Choose shoes with a wide toe
Your toes should be able to fit freely in the shoe without feeling squeezed.
Give preference to shoes with a heel
A small heel (2-4 cm) will provide proper foot support and load distribution.
Choose shoes with flexible soles
The sole should flex easily to allow for natural foot movement.
Pay attention to the material
Choose shoes made of natural materials that allow the skin to breathe.
Try on shoes before buying
Make sure that the shoes fit you properly and do not cause discomfort.
We would also like to add that the health of your feet is the key to your comfort and well-being. So choose your shoes wisely, giving preference to comfort and safety.
