Canvas shoes are not sports shoes should not wear when students exercise

Recently, a primary school in Guangzhou City conducted footprint analysis for 1,282 students across the school. The test results showed that 70% of students were moderate or mildly flat feet. Huang Dongfeng, director of the Department of Rehabilitation at the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, said that the flat foot is not a disease, but it is prone to fatigue when walking, but also brings some problems, such as plantar fasciitis, X-shaped legs and so on. Therefore, primary and secondary school students should generally strengthen their foot exercises. Flatfoot students are advised not to wear canvas shoes during exercise to avoid sprained feet.

The footprint analysis found that many students love to wear canvas shoes. Wu Kunying, deputy director of the Foot Rehabilitation Professional Committee of the China Rehabilitation Equipment Association, said that in Hong Kong, the Education Bureau does not recommend that students wear canvas shoes for physical education because their body design is too soft and has poor vibration absorption, especially in the heel and midsole sections. Not thick enough. If it is a general activity, the feet are healthy and can be worn. However, if you participate in strenuous activities such as playing basketball, playing football, etc., canvas shoes are not suitable.

Canvas shoes are not particularly suitable for flat feet. A soft sole and heel can cause damage to the soft tissue and tendons of the foot, which can easily cause heel valgus, which is not conducive to the development of the foot. Long-term wear can deform the arch of the foot, and may also form a permanent flat foot. Therefore, it is suggested that special sports shoes should be selected for different types of sports.
