As long as we are walking, the soles of our shoes will always be more or less worn. But did you know? From a medical point of view, the degree and location of wear and tear on the soles of your shoes can reflect your health status, and many people may already have problems with their feet, but still remain unaware.

01.What is the normal wear and tear of shoes?

Generally, normal sole wear is in line with the following characteristics: as most people walk a little bit slightly outside the eight, so the wear position will generally focus on the outside of the heel, light wear, left and right symmetry.

02.What kind of wear on the soles of shoes may be a sign of disease?

A. More wear on the outside of the sole

1. high arch foot: this foot deformity refers to the abnormally high arch of the foot, the heel is in the inward turning state, and the point of force is on the outside of the heel when walking.

2. O-leg: medically known as inversion of the knee, which causes the lower leg to bend outward and can lead to joint damage when walking. This may also lead to wear and tear on the cartilage outside the knee and cause arthritis.

3. walking inside eight / outside eight: generally speaking, walking inside eight people, the front half of the shoe sole outer wear and tear; walking outside eight people, the heel of the shoe outer wear and tear.

B. the inner side of the sole wear more

1. flat feet: the main feature is that the arch of the foot is reduced or disappeared, the heel is turned out, in addition to the inner side of the sole will appear abnormal wear, the middle of the sole will also appear wear.

2. X-leg: medically known as knee valgus, this causes the lower leg tibia to turn inward at a certain angle. As we age, this can lead to knee pain and accelerated joint degeneration.

C.Asymmetric wear on the soles of both feet

1. long and short legs: the length of the left and right legs are not the same, the so-called "long and short legs", so that the legs are not uniform in force, the natural wear and tear of the soles are not the same. Generally the long leg that foot sole wear small, short leg that foot sole wear large.

2. hip joint problems: hip joint problems, walking ass dragging leg walking, so one foot stepping one foot dragging, dragging the side of the wear will be larger.
