How Shoes Can Help You Get Back to Shape and Reduce Foot Problems



Are you worried thinking how to get back to shape after Christmas and New Year treats with family and friends? Your friends may advice you to visit a gym to get rid of your extra body mass. However, what about trying a different way of losing your weight this year! Shoes can help to tone up your body in an easy and comfortable way and without the need of visiting a gym regularly. Sounds surprising? Well, you will get orthopedic shoes available in the market designed for both men and women to help them lose weight without doing weight lifting and other weight loss exercises.
Athletic shoes have a rocker sole that helps to imitate as if walking barefoot on uneven ground. According to doctors, these shoes create an instability that forces the so-called inactive muscles in our foot to work actively, and could lead to weight loss.
The main problem with people is that they do not take care of their feet. Our feet balance our whole body and act as the foundation. Now, if the foundation gets affected, how can our entire body stay unaffected? Researchers have found that nearly 75 percent of the world population suffers from foot problem. You should wear footwear that keeps the foot and the ankle in a straight line and helps to distribute weight evenly across your foot and heel. The shoes that we normally get in the market do not help in distributing weight evenly; rather they make the foot lean outside. For example, mostly women suffer from foot problems due to wearing high heel shoes regularly. High heels lead to exertion of pressure on the front of your foot. The ankles bent forward affecting circulation of blood to the lower limbs. These shoes also stiffen the Achilles tendons causing your calves to cluster. Your body's natural shock absorbing ability gets reduced due to wearing bad shoes.
Orthopedic footwear in contract to normal shoes provides enough support to your feet. These heels and ankles stay in relaxed position reducing chances of developing a foot pain at any time in the future. Physiological shoes help to keep your foot comfortable and pain-free during walking, running, standing, and even dancing! These shoes have a soft sole and board to rest your feet properly, making walking and running for a longer time, a pain-free affair. You should not spend money on low quality shoes, as it could lead to foot pain and discomfort. Remember, you should also not get swayed by the pattern of footwear, or by the size of the heel; rather you should see how much comfortable you are feeling after wearing the shoes.
You can order orthopedic shoes to best fit your foot. They are customizable, and the manufacturer will create comfortable, designer shoes of your favorite color. Doctors recommend using this type of shoes since they encourage blood circulation and reduce chances of swelling, chronic pain and plantar fasciitis, a condition when the plantar fascia ligament in our foot gets stretched or injured.
A study conducted by the American Council on Exercise (ACE) showed that toning shoes can help you burn more calories, or improve your muscle strength. You can buy toning shoes if you do not want to go to a gym, or hate doing exercises daily.
