Of all types of summer shoes, flip flops, flat sandals, ballet flats are the most harmful to the feet , as well as high-heeled shoes. This was told by a traumatologist-orthopedic doctor.

He noted that flip flops are beach shoes and they are not intended for constant wear. “Their feet are not fixed, which can lead to injury. A flat hard sole contributes to quick leg fatigue,” explained the expert.

For the same reason, you should not often wear flat-soled sandals and ballet flats. The fact is that the flat sole lacks cushioning and arch support. Such shoes do not absorb shocks when walking, and lead to pain in the joints and legs.

At the same time, the orthopedist included high-heeled shoes in the category of the most dangerous shoes. According to him, a heel higher than four centimeters transfers the weight of the body to the front of the feet, which can cause severe pain. And long-term wearing of such shoes can lead to deformation of the feet like “bones”. The orthopedist called heels up to four centimeters safe for the health of the feet.

Some closed shoes should be treated with caution. These are model sneakers and sneakers with a flat sole. Wearing them can lead to overheating of the feet and provoke the development of infection, the doctor concluded.
