Let's take a look at the comparison chart of these two feet, which one do you belong to?
If you're the foot of Figure 1, you have to watch out, it's probably hallux valgus.
Hallux valgus often occurs in people with a "genetic predisposition" and long-term wear of unsuitable shoes, especially high heels and pointed-toe shoes, which can easily increase pressure on the big toe and lead to hallux valgus.
1. The shoes are too small
Triggering symptoms: blisters, thick calluses, corns.
If you wear high heels to rub your feet, you may get blisters after half an hour of walking. If you don't change your shoes and endure for a few more hours, these locations are prone to calluses and corns.
The cocoon is caused by the repeated friction between the ** of the foot and the shoe wall, and the misfit of the foot, which leads to the tissue hyperplasia of the epidermis of the foot.
The corn is the sole of the foot ** squeezed for a long time, it can't stand it, the resistance decreases, and the pathogen and virus take the opportunity to continue to multiply in this position, and slowly form a keratin plug.
Sometimes you have to feel that it will hurt when you walk, that is, the core of the cuticular center has penetrated deep into the ** and pressed the nerves, so you will be in pain. Advise friends not to be patient, the right thing to do is to go to the hospital immediately to find a doctor.
2. The toe cap is too pointed
Causing symptoms: ingrown nails, paronychia, hallux valgus, hammer toes, claw toes.
The front of the pointed toe shoes that we see is like a triangle, and the internal space is also very small.
Imagine standing in high heels, with our toes tucked into a narrow "triangle", the big toes being forced to turn out in order to fit the shoes, and the other toes having to bend or inin to fit the shape.
And then you wear it a lot, and you can't stand it when your toes are squeezed, and your big toes have to "bow your head". When it is tilted outward at an angle of more than 13 degrees, it is hallux valgus.
That is, the toes are in a small space for a long time, and they cannot be stretched, and the tenaments and tendons that are tense and stretched lead to the joints of the toes gradually bend downward, and the toes in this state are like a claw.
3. The heel is too high
Symptoms: Achilles tendon injury, calf tension, plantar myositis, knee and low back pain.
Many women wear shoes with too high heels, and they have to keep their posture straight when walking, and in the long run, the Achilles tendon will be like a rubber band, resulting in a lack of elasticity in the case of high tension.
People who wear high heels every day may not be able to walk one day when they take off their shoes, which is the relaxation of the Achilles tendon.
Some can even affect blood circulation in your legs, so you'll feel your legs twitch from time to time.
Not only that, but when walking in high heels, the center of gravity of the human body will unconsciously lean forward.
In order to maintain balance, the knees will naturally bend and then the spine in your waist will bend backwards. Over time, the knees and lower back spine will hurt.
Therefore, I advise everyone to walk less when wearing high heels, especially downhill or down stairs.
How do you take care of your feet in high heels?
If you have to wear high heels, it is recommended to choose shoes that fit well and are comfortable. Other than that, don't choose no matter how beautiful the appearance is.Prepare several pairs of shoes with different heel heights and wear them instead. In this way, the pressure points on the feet are different, which prevents the occurrence of crust and thick calluses.
After we take a bath, we can use a dermabrasion tool to remove the crust on the soles of our feet. Remove the crust on the soles of your feet regularly, so that you won't be embarrassed when you wear shoes.
Before going to bed, you can apply some maintenance cream on your feet, and then gently massage them to make your feet more delicate.
If hallux valgus occurs, do not continue to wear high heels and pointed-toe shoes, as this will accelerate the progression of hallux valgus and aggravate the deformity. If there is pain or discomfort, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice as soon as possible**.
