Choose Your Shoes Correctly, Don't Be Concerned With Your Foot Health

Shoes that are preferred in daily life for foot health should be chosen carefully. Stating that shoes that are breathable, free of synthetic and sweat-proof materials, compatible with the foot structure and soft are important for foot health and that choosing the wrong shoes can cause many health problems, Anadolu Health Center Skin Diseases Specialist Dr. Mehmet Coşkun Acay said, “Shoes that are bought only by admiring the model and stance can damage the foot tissue. Some skin diseases can be seen, especially if the precautions for these damages are not taken and the necessary interventions are not made. Shoe selection is very important for foot health. For this reason, care should be taken to choose the right shoes.

In daily life, newly bought shoes with a hard mold can cause serious foot health problems. Saying that foot-friendly shoes should be preferred for the feet that carry the weight of the whole body, Anadolu Health Center Dermatology Specialist Dr. Mehmet Coşkun Acay said, “Shoes that have air flow, do not contain plastic materials, and are not narrow and hard should be preferred. In particular, shoes that put pressure on the feet and do not fit the foot structure should be avoided. Attention should also be paid to the factors that will damage the foot structure, unhygienic conditions, working environment and preferred shoes should be suitable for foot health. In addition, the same shoes should not be worn on top of each other, if they are to be worn, these shoes should be ventilated and dried if there is excessive moisture and sweating.

Comfortable shoes should be preferred for the healing of wounds caused by hitting shoes.

Drawing attention to the necessity of doing the necessary intervention to the wounds caused by the shock of shoes, Dermatology Specialist Dr. Mehmet Coşkun Acay said, “In order to prevent serious problems that may occur, the wound that occurs where the shoe hits should be washed with warm water first. After the area where the wound is dry, the area should be dressed with skin lotions. If the person is outside and needs to wear shoes again, he should apply the closed dressing method. Comfortable and soft shoes should be preferred so that the wound is not damaged further and does not gain a serious dimension.
