Platform shoes, as a popular style in mainland China in recent years, have also developed in more and more styles. With the increase in people's choices, more and more people are beginning to worry about whether the high soles of platform shoes will cause serious harm to the human body.

Platform shoes originated in the 1930s and became popular in the 1970s. At that time, platform shoes with bell-bottom pants were a more classic combination. The heel height was usually higher than 5 cm and had a high waterproof platform. The heel is narrower at the front and rear and wider in the middle. Some have flat soles and some have wedges, but thick soles are its distinguishing feature. For platform shoes, some people have always put them together with high heels and called them "shoes of death." Why do you say this? Are there any advantages to platform shoes?

We all know that high heels, because they are low in the front and high in the back, will move the person's center of gravity forward. Over time, they will also damage the bones, affect the development of the bones, and lead to pelvic deformity. For young women, , may also lead to infertility. As for platform shoes, compared to high-heeled shoes, the pressure on the forefoot is not that great, especially flat platform shoes, which only increase the sole. Apart from making people lose balance and make walking cumbersome, it doesn't seem to be that serious.

What I want to say here is that sports medicine shows that shoes that fit the human body need to have a certain height and curvature, that is, the curvature that fits the arch of the foot, rather than being completely flat like sneakers. This principle is not difficult to understand. Just like sports shoes, clothing that conforms to kinesiology will not tire the body or force bones to change.

Therefore, in fact, shoes with a certain arch of 3 to 5 cm are better for the human body. Moreover, the correct posture of walking also requires the center of gravity to lean forward. The front feet touch the ground first, and the rear feet touch the ground later. This includes running. Most platform shoes not only have thick soles, but also have flat soles, which not only easily make people lose balance and are not conducive to bone development, but are also a burden on the legs.
