Fashion "Heelys" often wear unhealthy

Recently, many teenagers in Changsha's streets and recreational venues glided in “Heelys”. Experts said that the children’s long-term wear of such shoes is unhealthy.

“Heelys shoes” are equipped with one or two wheels on the heel of the shoes and can be put on shoes that can move forward on flat ground. The reporter asked the relevant experts about this shoe. An orthopaedic professor pointed out that the occasional wearing of this kind of shoes has little impact on the body. However, if they wear such shoes for a long time, they will be very unfavorable to the students who are growing up. Under normal circumstances, people walk with their feet and heels together to support the body, but when they walk on this "Heelys", they only have a long heel to withstand the weight of the body. Excessive pressure on the heel can cause foot fasciitis. At the same time, wearing these shoes for a long period of time will have an impact on the development of the arch of the child's arches and the coordination ability of the sacral force muscles. In severe cases, muscle strain may be caused.

The reporter interviewed a Mr. Liu who walked with a child. Mr. Liu said that several of his son’s classmates had purchased the shoes. They could walk and glided and felt very fun. His son also wanted to buy a pair of shoes. But he decided not to buy his son, because taking into account the more stairs in the school, wearing this kind of shoes is easy to slip. Now that summer vacations have been held, children spend more time outside, and boys like to fight and make inroads. As for whether the shoes affect the body, he is not very clear.
