For all the beauties and blokes who have plus sized feet, Here's to you all! I'm sure I speak the mind of everyone when I say the prettiest/cutest pairs of shoes ever, come in "minus" sizes. So there is always the temptation to get "that pair", which you know is a size or two smaller than your feet, but would definitely go with that: exquisite gown, accessory bead/custume, or lovely suit jacket. "Biko", here is why not! According to the "Ortho info" of the American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), wearing shoes with too tight toe boxes would lead to the following:
Bunions - an enlargement of bone at the base of the big toe, which may also rub against the sides of the shoe, causing wearing and bruising.
Corn - a callus or hardening that occurs when tight shoes put constant pressure on/between the toes of the feet.
Hammer toe - a condition where toes curl (tip facing downward), instead of lying flat on the floor of foot wear.
Ingrown toe nail - condition where abnormal and constant pressure is felt at the tip of the big toe nail, by the toe box of tight shoes, resulting in inflammation and associated nail pain.
Images have been included for emphasis. So "antees" and "onkus", resist that temptation to buy shoes "just" one size smaller, in the name of love for your toes.. Stop squeezing your feet into shoes that do not fit!

ReplyDeleteYou do well...the temptation of missing out on that lovely pair of rarity sometimes outweighs these enumerated dangers. How shall we escape? Lovely insight,scary truth tho..Just for the love of that one super strutters,footie on fleek!
ReplyDeleteOn point.
ReplyDeleteRelevant information.
Kids should also be watched closely.
Cos sometimes, they may have this sentimental attachment to a pair of shoes, even when their feet have out-grown the shoes.
That's good information and advice coming from a lady. Most people mortgage their health for fashion trends. Guess this applies to skinny wears too. Keep up the good job, dear.
ReplyDeleteI doubt if wears do as much damage.
DeleteStill a nice thought though.
But u can lose weight if u so need to get into a small nice dress.
thanks for all the information, may be useful for others. Do not forget to keep the spirit. obat radang telinga
