　　Hallux valgus

　　Boots are mostly high-heeled. Strictly speaking, bunions are not a boots-specific disease, but a common problem among high-heeled shoes owners. Because the heel is too high, the body's center of gravity will move forward too much, and the pressure on the foot will change, which can easily cause valgus deformity of the big toe.

　　Severe bunions require surgical treatment. In the early stage, corrective treatment can be done through self-traction or with the help of small tools. For example, there is a "brace for hallux valgus", which is widely used in treatment because it only needs to be worn at night to correct the toes little by little without affecting daily life.

　　ankle tunnel syndrome

　　The feet are called the second heart of the human body and play an important role in blood circulation throughout the body. The boots are very high and wrap the feet too tightly, which will cause blood vessels and blood vessels in the instep and ankle joints. nerve Being squeezed can easily cause poor blood circulation in some tissues of the feet, ankles and calves. The tendon sheaths or nerves in the feet may become inflamed, causing numbness and pain. This is ankle tunnel syndrome.

If symptoms persist, it is recommended to go Hospital The Department of Rehabilitation Medicine provides physical therapy, such as hot compress, physiotherapy, etc. You can also do hot compresses and massages at home to promote blood circulation in the legs and feet and assist in treatment.

　　tinea pedis

　　Due to the poor air permeability of high leather boots, the heat emitted by the feet when walking cannot be dissipated in time, which provides a "hotbed" for the growth and reproduction of anaerobic bacteria and mold, which can easily cause tinea pedis or other foot skin diseases.

　　Avoid skin diseases such as tinea pedis. The most important thing is to change shoes and socks frequently, wash feet frequently, and keep feet dry. Once infected, you can choose an ointment for fungal infection and apply it under the guidance of a doctor.

　　In general, removing the cause of the disease, refusing boots, and choosing loose-fitting shoes are the best ways to prevent and cure "boot disease". However, women are born with a love of beauty and fashion, so it is difficult to do this. Then, it is recommended that when women buy boots, it is best to keep the heel height at about 3 cm, and the shoes should be as loose as possible, not too small or too tight. Washing your feet with hot water before going to bed at night, combined with appropriate massage, can also help eliminate foot fatigue, promote blood circulation, and prevent "boot disease."
