Heightening Insole

As people’s height requirements become higher, heightening insoles have received widespread attention. Unlike internal heightening shoes, the hazards of heightening insoles cannot be ignored. It is not like the heightening shoes specially designed for height-increasing shoes but in ordinary shoes. Thick insoles are added inside, which can’t fit the feet well and easily damage the soles of the feet.

What are heightening insoles?

The heightening insole is for the purpose of increasing the visual effect of the user’s height and is mainly used to enhance the image of the user’s height and certain long and short legs caused by diseases. The height-increasing insole does not promote the growth of the body and increases the height and the effect of curing diseases.

Hazards of heightening insoles

Many people often put heightened insoles in their shoes in order not to show up their bodies. However, orthopedic doctors remind everyone that heightening insoles are harmful and should be used as little as possible.

Foot pain
When walking, there are three fulcrums on the soles of each foot to support the weight, two on the forefoot and one on the heel. If an insole with an unsuitable height is put in, the force point of the heel will move forward, and most of the weight of the whole body will be concentrated. On the soles and soles of the feet, it will cause pain in the soles and soles of the feet.

Knee pain
When the heel is lifted by 1 cm, the knee joint will instinctively bend when walking or climbing stairs. Generally speaking, if the height of the insole exceeds 5 cm, the knee joint will bear three times the weight, which is equivalent to a heavy lead tied to the knee. If you wear such a heightening insole for a long time before the age of 15, it will cause problems such as lordosis of the kneecap, making the knee unable to straighten and deforming the legs.

Low back pain
After putting on the heightening insole, the body will lean forward. In order to keep the body balanced, the psoas muscles can only be tight all day long. After a long time, it will cause lumbar pain and lumbar muscle strain. It is especially not suitable for menstrual periods and sports.

Headache
Headache is also one of the symptoms of heightening shoe syndrome. With the addition of heightening insoles, the reaction force of the ground to the human body will still be repeated. When walking, the reaction force that should be absorbed by the sole of the foot will shock the brain. The longer you wear it, the headache It will be more obvious.

Flat feet
There are various materials for heightening insoles on the market. Some materials do not have the function of resisting compression and restoring elasticity. Therefore, after a period of time, you will find that the insoles have been squashed and deformed. Not only can they not be increased, but the health of the arches and bones and joints can also cause interference, especially affecting the development of the arches, sole bones, and joints, resulting in poor development of the sole bones and joints, and even flat feet. Therefore, it is recommended not to wear it during the developmental period.

For teenagers, the danger of heightening insoles is more serious:

1: During the growth and development period of children, the use of heightening insoles should be prohibited, and special circumstances should go to the hospital for consultation.
2: Most of the heightening insoles are not breathable, which can easily cause foot odor. People with severe foot disease should avoid using it.
3: Heighten insoles should not be used for a long time, which can easily cause high heels syndrome.
4: If you suffer from foot disease, leg disease, or joint disease caused by short stature, you should consult a doctor before use. Heighten insoles should not be used.

How to improve the height reasonably

Many of my friends have used internal heightening insoles. After using it, it will immediately show a few centimeters in height. However, it is not very comfortable to wear for a long time. It is hard and uncomfortable to walk. Have given up wearing inner heightening insoles. Friends who want to grow taller should have a real height. I also want to tell you that in addition to using effective height-increasing products, a reasonable diet, and physical exercise can increase height to a greater extent. Try to get enough sleep every day and don’t stay up late; insist on exercising for one hour every day, such as skipping rope, running, swimming, playing ball, shuttlecock, touching height exercises, etc.; the mood is also very important, always keep a cheerful and optimistic attitude to avoid tension and anxiety Troubled.

The hazard of heightening insoles is not small. You must pay attention to running-in when you use it. If you really have special requirements for height, internal heightening shoes are your good choice.

Why is it better to wear inner height-increasing shoes than to use height-increasing insoles? Because the inner height-increasing shoes are customized according to the structure of the human foot, it not only achieves the purpose of invisible heightening and comfortable wearing but also can protect the soles of the feet.
