Not only fashionable, but even many familiar types of shoes often turn out to be impractical. Buying them can be not only a waste of money, but they can also cause health problems.
1. White sneakers
To keep white shoes looking nice, you have to clean them regularly to remove stains and dust. And this seems like a normal thing to do. But when it comes to snow-white sneakers, it turns out that keeping them tidy is not that easy. Some experts suggest replacing white shoes with more practical ones. While fashionistas in general believe that white sneakers look “cheap.”
2. Patent leather shoes
Patent leather shoes are subject to wear and tear and may crack. To extend its service life, it’s recommended to lubricate the leather with special moisturizing agents. Or opt for similar models but without patent leather.
3. Slippers
Slippers and sandals don’t provide the necessary support to feet. Wearing them can lead to sprains and subsequently tendonitis, an inflammation of the tendons.
A better option can be sandals that have an ankle strap. They will provide better foot stability during long walks. Doctors also recommend choosing models with soles that bend only below the toes, but not in the middle.
4. Tie-around sandals
Tie-around sandals with metal fittings look sophisticated and spectacular in the photo, but sometimes they are not really comfortable because the feet in them are not fixed properly. And stability and tight fastening in the ankle are important, especially if the shoes have a heel.
5. Wedge shoes
The stiff soles of wedge shoes often interfere with the natural movement of the feet when walking. The situation can be particularly unfortunate when the heel is raised much higher than the toe. This puts additional pressure on the metatarsal bones.
To reduce the pressure, opt for shoes with a more narrow platform. This will ease the pressure on the pads of the foot a little.
