What are the disadvantages of wearing height-increasing shoes

Many people who are not satisfied with their height will choose to wear height-increasing shoes to make themselves more confident and beautiful. Although choosing height-increasing shoes can satisfy temporary psychological needs, wearing height-increasing shoes for a long time will bring certain harm, such as causing lumbar muscle strain and sprains caused by uneven force. Therefore, height-increasing shoes are not suitable for long-term wear. Now I will explain to you in detail the disadvantages of wearing height-increasing shoes for a long time.

First, let's take a look at our feet. We have often heard of the arch of the foot, which actually refers to the human foot that is arched like an arch bridge. Usually, when we walk, the big toe, little toe and heel form three fulcrums, allowing us to walk very steadily and easily. However, wearing height-increasing shoes such as platform shoes has a flat sole, which will move the center of gravity upwards, thus affecting the stability of the foot. Therefore, it is easy to sprain your ankle when you walk fast or climb stairs. In particular, the disadvantage of this type of insoles is that they will change the load-bearing point and gravity line of the foot, which can easily cause problems such as foot and ankle arthritis.

Secondly, high heels, which are girls’ favorite, can certainly make women’s body curves look more graceful and feminine, but they also cause considerable harm. Especially as the heels get higher, the more harmful the height-increasing shoes are. This is because the foot's fulcrum moves forward, and the sole of the foot bears most of the body's weight. The excessive pressure can easily lead to fatigue, which in turn leads to metatarsal arthritis and increases the incidence of hallux valgus. In addition, heels that are too high will cause your calf muscles to atrophy and tighten.

It is strictly recommended that young people or children during their developmental period not use it because it will seriously affect the growth and development of bones and joints. (Wearing insoles is equivalent to standing on tiptoe all the time, and if they are uncomfortable, they may cause hidden diseases.

Wearing height-increasing shoes for a long time will seriously affect the development of the metatarsal bones and cause them to develop poorly. Height-increasing shoes will increase the probability of foot sprains, and when an ankle is sprained, the damage to the foot is great. Long-term wearing of height-increasing shoes can also cause a series of foot bone diseases, which can lead to disability in severe cases.

How to make your children grow taller: proper diet, adequate sleep and appropriate exercise. If you want to grow taller, you should eat more protein, especially foods containing amino acids, such as: flour, wheat germ, beans, shrimp, crabs, shellfish, seaweed, beef, chicken, liver, pork leg, eggs, milk, cheese and dark vegetables. On the contrary, foods such as white rice, glutinous rice, and desserts should be avoided as much as possible. It is also better to consume less cola and fruit juice, because they contain a lot of sugar, which will hinder the absorption of calcium, and eating too much will affect bone development. In addition, salt is also the enemy of height growth, so you must develop the habit of eating less salt. Simply put, exercises that can increase appetite, promote sleep, and apply a certain degree of longitudinal pressure to bones are beneficial for growing taller.

The above is what I introduced to you about the disadvantages of height-increasing shoes. Wearing height-increasing shoes for a long time will cause discomfort and fatigue of the feet, which will lead to foot diseases such as ankle arthritis and metatarsal arthritis. In fact, it is recommended not to wear height-increasing shoes for a long time. You can always have flat shoes to wear in rotation. Finally, I hope everyone can adjust their mindset, face up to their height, and focus on the health of their feet.
