Wearing cocked shoes reduces the muscle strength of your feet, according to new international research

Beijing, September 18 (Reporter Sun Self-Law) sole shape on the foot muscles have an impact? What's the impact? An experimental study published recently in the academic journal Scientific Reports by Springer Nature suggests that shoes that bend their heads upward (also known as their head) make their feet muscles work less hard when walking than shoes with flatr bottoms.
The biometrics experimental research paper suggests that the head of the shoe keeps the toes above the ground, maintains a curved upward posture, and helps the front palms roll forward as they walk or run - a design used in most modern sneakers. However, their role in the function of natural foot and the vulnerability of the foot have not been widely studied.
For this reason, the paper's three co-authors, Freddy Sichting of the University of Technology in Chemnitz, Germany, Dan Lieberman of Harvard University, Nicholas Holowka of the State University of New York at Buffalo, and colleagues studied the effects of shoe head cocking on foot biomechanics using a set of controlled experiments. In the experiment, 13 subjects walked barefoot on a treadmill at a comfortable pace and were asked to repeat the process in specially designed 4 pairs of sandals, which had toe areas raised to varying degrees to simulate the bending of modern sneakers.The
authors then used trackers placed on each person's knees, ankles, and feet to collect 3D motion data, and found that the upper part of the shoe reduced the work of connecting the muscles around the toe and the foot bone joint;
the study explains why the head is so comfortable and popular, but also suggests that shoes that are cocked on the head can cause weakness in the foot muscles during long-term wear, the authors said. They caution that this can lead to shoe wearers being susceptible to common pathological diseases, such as fascia inflammation of the foot-connecting heel bone and toe.
