Thick sole shoes
When buying shoes, you shouldn't just focus on looks. The processing and the material also play a major role when it comes to keeping feet healthy. Shoes with thick soles are not only beneficial in winter.
Winter and running shoes - pay attention to functionality when buying shoes
- Winter shoes should ideally keep out the cold and wet. With snow and ice, safety is also an important aspect to consider when making a purchase. Shoes with a thick sole offer protection against the penetrating cold of the ground. If this also has a coarse profile, the risk of slipping is also significantly reduced.
- A larger sole thickness in jogging shoes is not quite as beneficial. When running, it is important that the foot can roll properly. If the shoe were too rigid, this could not happen. Good running shoes use the lower part to add cushioning, either air or gel. This cushioning can be hidden well in shoes with a thick sole. In this case, however, it is important that the tip of the shoe and the heel part have small rounded edges so that there is still sufficient mobility.
Shoes with thick soles can damage the feet
- Very high platform shoes look chic, but are not recommended for health reasons. The shoes with the thick sole do not offer any support function for the lateral arch of the foot, so the pressure of the body weight is shifted to the tip of the foot when it touches the ground. The top Ankle joint in addition, has no hold and overload damage is the result. However, if you don't overdo it and only wear platform shoes every now and then and for a short time, you don't need to worry too much about your foot health.
- Original MBT shoes or similar designs from other manufacturers are healthy and unusual in appearance. These have a strong midsole. With the arch, the shoe is intended to imitate walking barefoot. Leg and back muscles as well as veins are strengthened by the extreme rolling of the foot. Although some manufacturers also advertise that weight loss would be possible through wearing, experts believe this is not the case.
