Don't wear canvas shoes to play basketball

At the beginning of the school year, many parents choose pairs of durable shoes for children and try hard and soft soles. This is the usual “gesture” when many parents buy shoes. Many people think that the softer the soles, the better, therefore, the soft bottom. The canvas shoes became the first choice for many parents. The common students of threes, threes and twos wear canvas shoes to be active on various occasions—schooling, shopping, even climbing, picnicking, and sports.

Wu Kunying, a professor at the Department of Rehabilitation at Zhongshan Medical College, said that the development of adolescent feet is not yet mature. Wearing inappropriate shoes not only causes the child to walk uncomfortably and is prone to fatigue, but also can sprain the ankle ligaments.

Expert correction: Jogging, skipping, and radio gymnastics can wear canvas shoes, running, playing basketball, and playing football.

Expert interpretation: Back-to-power shoes and canvas shoes are mainly rubber-soled shoes. The design of the shoe body is too soft and the shock-absorbing function is poor, especially the heel cup and the bottom are not thick enough.

If the student's script is relatively healthy (no flat feet, high bow, etc.) can be worn for general jogging, skipping, radio exercises and other non-aggressive sports. However, if you participate in strenuous exercise, such as running, playing basketball, playing football, etc., it is not appropriate. These need to often jump into the sport of skipping, not wearing professional sports shoes, will cause knee pain, heel pain and other foot discomfort.

Expert correction: Flat feet are not suitable for canvas shoes, and most children are less likely to wear canvas shoes for “false flat feet”.

Expert interpretation: From the point of view of foot development, children aged 0 to 4 have “false flat feet” because they have fat in the middle of their legs. This fat will gradually disappear with the development of the foot, 4 to 14-year-old is in the period of development of the foot, the child appears this stage of "flat feet" phenomenon is very common. Parents can take the child to the hospital to measure a foot print to see if it is a flat foot.

Wu Kunying said that children suffering from flat feet should not wear canvas shoes, so as not to cause pressure on the position of the arch, resulting in damage to the soft tissue and tendons of the foot, and is not conducive to the fixed heel, easy to heel with eversion, is not conducive to the development of the foot. Moreover, the insoles of the canvas shoes are not special and cannot relieve the sequelae of the flat foot. Long-term wear will deform the arch of the foot and may also form a structural flat foot. station"
