Shoe heels badly worn?

Most people will experience more or less wear on the heels of their shoes when wearing them. Generally speaking, most people think that the wear on the heels may be caused by quality problems or poor quality of the shoes. In fact, this is not entirely true. If the wear and tear of the shoes is severe in a short period of time, you must pay attention to it, as there may be problems with your health.

Because the rapid wear of shoes is largely caused by your abnormal walking posture. When your walking posture is unbalanced, its force line is also unbalanced, so the force point is also unbalanced, and the weight-bearing parts will wear faster, while the lightly loaded parts will wear slower.

If this abnormal walking posture lasts for a long time, it will have a certain impact on the ankle and knee joints, especially the ankle joints, because the weight-bearing strength is different. For a long time, the weight-bearing points are not in the same position and are unevenly distributed. If the weight-bearing points are too heavy, the joints will cause some strain and traumatic arthritis. After a long time, symptoms such as pain and soreness will appear.

The wear of the soles can be roughly classified into the following three situations: inner wear, outer wear and large difference in wear on both sides.

1. Excessive wear on the inside of the sole indicates that the foot is turned outward, and the pressure is concentrated on the inner edge of the arch, which creates a risk of forming X-shaped legs.

From the X-type leg sole force detection diagram, it can be seen that the force is concentrated on the inner side of the sole, the outer side is weaker, and the wear of the sole is inclined to the inner side.

2. The outer side of the sole is more worn, which means that the force is concentrated on the outer edge of the arch of the foot, causing prominent wear on the outer side of the shoe.

This way of walking can easily lead to joint sprains and injuries. Long-term uneven force can also cause wear and tear of the outer cartilage of the knee and cause arthritis. This position can also put pressure on the hip bones, leading to chronic pain in the bones when sitting. At the same time, severe wear on the outer side of the sole may also cause calf tibial varus, which may lead to the risk of forming bow legs or "bowing".

3. The big difference in wear on the two sides may be due to leg length difference. Due to the difference in the length of the two legs, the forces on the two sides are different, resulting in a big difference in the wear of the left and right soles.

If you really have the leg disease mentioned by the doctor (X-shaped legs, O-shaped legs, different lengths of legs, etc.), it is recommended that you go to the hospital for examination in time and listen to the doctor's advice for corrective treatment.
