Wearing shoes for health people is the simplest thing, but for friends wearing prosthetics, wearing shoes is very laborious, some even take a long time.
In the prosthesis rehabilitation hall, amputees struggle to fit prosthetics into their shoes.
 
Studies show that up to 75 percent of foot ailments are caused by unsuitable shoes.
A good pair of shoes can not only make it easy to walk on the prosthetic leg, but also protect the healthy foot.
 
For many amputees, prosthetic feet not only cause some wear and tear on shoes, but shoes are also difficult for some amputees to wear, with insole being the first area to wear.
And when it comes to choosing shoes, the comfort of your legs is more important.
Therefore, scientific selection of a pair of appropriate and comfortable shoes is very necessary.
Before we learn how to choose shoes, let's learn about our feet.

 
Egypt foot
Egypt foot is characterized by the halluces being longer than the other four toes, with a shorter diagonal line from the halluces to the little toe. This is the most common foot shape in Asia, and this foot shape is suitable for diagonal shoes. Egyptian foot people had better wear special shoes to protect their toes, and Egyptian foot is also one of the most beautiful feet in terms of beauty, more in line with the public aesthetic.


How to choose the right shoes?
Velcro (Velcro) shoes or lace-up shoes prevent the prosthetic foot from sliding around inside the shoe. For another healthy foot, there can be enough volume to accommodate a foot that changes in size due to swelling. The wide heel provides a stable base for the amputee to stand on while using the prosthesis. To reduce the fatigue caused by walking, the amputee should choose lightweight shoes as much as possible. High heels have neither enough stability nor good skid resistance, but some ladies who love beauty challenge to wear high heels with prosthetics without following professional guidance, which is very dangerous behavior.

How to solve the problem of wearing shoes
First, you can increase the size of your shoes by one. Second, stockings can be worn on the prosthetic foot, which helps make the foot more smoothen and reduces drag.
The solution to shoe grinding:
Shoe grinding is mainly caused by the walking habits of amputees, and many normal people have this problem. The best way to do this is to adjust the balance of the foot and the extension of the foot, but this adjustment may cause the amputee to walk less smoothly. This is not a serious wear and tear, and it is recommended to let it be.
The solution of grinding insole:
in addition to the suggestion that amputees use stockings to cover the prosthesis foot plate, reduce the friction .Except this method, you can as far as possible to buy better shoes, a lot of inferior shoes under the insole is hollow, which is very easy to cause friction between the foot and the insole. When changing shoes, heel height must be selected to keep the prosthesis in the correct position. If the heel height of the shoe is different, be sure to consult a prosthesis specialist to have it readjusted.
