We take thousands of steps every day. What we wear on our feet affects their comfort. In the practice, we often see the effects of poorly fitting footwear.
What harms your feet the most?
Many problems with which patients come to our practice in Krakow are a direct result of poorly selected shoes. Here are the biggest culprits:
- Toe boxes that are too tight: Repeated pressure on the toes is a direct route to painful ingrown toenails and deformities such as bunions.
- High heels: Unnaturally shifting body weight onto the forefoot causes painful calluses and corns.
- Artificial, non-breathable materials: Poor ventilation creates ideal conditions for bacteria and fungi. This can allow the growth of, for example, bacteria associated with green nail syndrome under the nail.
How do shoes affect your entire body?
Poorly fitting footwear changes the biomechanics of your gait. When your feet hurt, your body adopts compensating positions, which over time can lead to chronic knee, hip and even back pain. Your feet are your foundation — if it is unstable, the whole structure suffers.
