These are the best and worst shoes for your health (according to research)

Shoes are an indispensable part of the look. However, according to evolutionary biologists and doctors, humans would be healthier if they walked barefoot. Shoes, especially ill-fitting ones, can have a negative effect on our posture and thus on the spine. But since, except at sea, we cannot afford to jump around the world without shoes, we can at least adjust our shoes to be optimal for our health. See below which are the best and worst shoes for your health according to the research.

According to the research we present to you which are the best and worst shoes for your health. Unfortunately, many women will not like the answer. You guessed it – the worst shoes for health are uncompromisingly high heels. Frequent wearing of high heels completely changes the structure of the muscles on the sole, and in addition has a negative effect on the ankle joint and, in extreme cases, completely degenerates. If you only wear high heels on special occasions, you don't have to worry about health problems. But if high heels are on your clothing list every day, think again, is it really worth it.

What about the healthiest shoes? Here, too, the researchers are united – the best shoes you wear are when you walk barefoot. Walking barefoot is by far the best for our posture and feet. But because the cultural context (as well as polluted soil and low temperatures in winter) of this does not allow, the best shoes for your health are those that which imitate the orthopedic shape, and at the same time they are airy and above all as light as possible.
