This website, July 11th, many elderly people adhere to the habit of thrift. However, thrift is not the case for all scenarios, such as wearing shoes. Shoes are too frugal, you may have to waste more money if you see a doctor!

The elderly always wear the same pair of shoes, which can easily damage the body and cause adverse symptoms such as neck and back pain. Let the doctor teach you how to choose good shoes for the elderly.

Although the shoes are small, they are related to the health of the feet and the whole body. Young people may pay more attention to style when they buy shoes, and older people need to pay more attention to their comfort, practicality and safety.

The elderly look at the shoes, mainly to see three aspects:

1, the upper

Because people get old, the blood circulation of both feet will be worse, so the shoes are required to have elasticity and good ventilation. Therefore, the upper is required to be soft, and it is preferable to have a wide head to give the toes sufficient "breathing" and space for movement.

In addition, because the elderly are inconvenient to bend, the flexibility of the fingers will also be worse, the easier the shoes are to pass through, and the shoes that need to be laced should be excluded. It is recommended to buy velcro, buckle or shoes with elastic shoes for the elderly.

2, sole

The primary concern of choosing the sole is its slip resistance. After all, the old man's waist and legs are not very good, the consequences of wrestling may be very serious.


Second, look at the softness of the sole. The sole is not as soft as possible, the sole is too soft to walk, and the risk of injury to the bones of the foot is increased. If the sole is too hard, it is inconvenient to walk and it is easy to wear the skin.

How to judge the appropriate standard of soft and hard? Look at the state of bending of the sole, it should be similar to the degree of bending of the sole when walking.

In addition, look at the insole, the insole can give the elderly foot arch enough support, walking can not be tired, but also can prevent the adverse consequences of flat feet. If you have the conditions, it is best to bring the elderly to the hospital to customize the suitable insole.

Finally, it should be noted that the sole should not be too thin, otherwise the shock absorption function is insufficient, the walking will be tired, and it will easily hurt the spine.

3, the back of the shoe

The back of the shoe must have a certain degree of hardness in order to firmly "catch" the foot and not sprain the ankle. If it is too loose, it will slip easily, and it will increase the pressure on the joints, increasing the probability of sprains and plantar fasciitis.


If the old man still doesn't know how to choose shoes, he can choose the quality running shoes and walking shoes, which can basically meet the above requirements.

What is the test shoes?

In the shoe store, the shoes are very suitable, and they are comfortable to walk, but it is not comfortable when you go home. It may be that your time and method of trying shoes is wrong. Professor Wang Chuhuai suggested that the following points should be noted in the test shoes:

Remember to wear socks to test shoes;

It is best to buy shoes in the afternoon, because at 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the feet are at their maximum;

Before buying shoes, be sure to walk more and more, feel the stability and size of the shoes, and avoid buying too small shoes;

Generally speaking, the longest toe has a space for movement when standing, and the heel does not slide in the shoe. This shoe should be suitable.

How long should the shoes be worn?

The old man should get rid of the bad habit of wearing only a pair of shoes, always wearing a pair of shoes, more likely to suffer from ankles. And it will make the wear speed of the shoes faster, and it does not save money. It is recommended that the elderly should have two or three pairs of shoes to wear alternately.


When the shoes are not worn, take them to the sun. The shoe is deformed and needs to be replaced. If shoe wear has affected the slip resistance of the sole, it also needs to be replaced. In short, don't let the moments linger and ruin your health.
