Scientists from the Polytechnic University of Perm have warned. Famous crocs, which have become an element of urban fashion and everyday wardrobe, can be dangerous for health. Despite the comfort and practicality, their design does not provide the necessary strengthening and support for the leg. The press service of the educational institution informed Gazeta.ru about this.
According to Vladislav Nikitin, Associate Professor of the Department of Mathematics, Mechanics and Biomeconomic, the Crocs' leg is moving too many moves, and the muscles of the legs and back are forced to compensate instability. This disrupts the natural roll of the leg and leads to the incorrect load distribution, increasing the risk of the leg. Break causing fatigue, and long-term bearing can cause chronic problems with the muscular-skeletal system. Such traffic jams are especially detrimental to people with high arch or weak tabs, because shoes do not have a hard insert and do not allow the orthopedic tabs correctly.
Risks are also added hygiene factors.
"Wet and hot environment inside shoes is an ideal incubator for bacteria and mushrooms if you do not wash and dry crocs after each use," said Anastasia Zorina.
Staphylococcers, corierbacteria and micos that cause micosis are actively multiplied in such an environment.
Experts admit that Crocs also have advantages. They are suitable for walking on the beach, shower or walk on water, where easy disinfection and protection from sharp objects are important. However, they are not suitable for long walks, "on their feet", especially for sports.
"In these cases, it is better to choose high-quality sneakers with percussion properties and installing individual orthopedic inserts," Nikitin said.
