Wearing comfortable and safe footwear is one of those tips we all know but don't always follow. Most people choose their shoes based on their design or price, overlooking the great importance of the style in terms of comfort and ergonomics.
At Surippa, we firmly believe in the importance of carefully choosing the footwear we wear . That's why we created Surippa flip-flops , the most comfortable you've ever tried, and why we also want to delve deeper into the reasons why it's important to wear comfortable and safe footwear.
1. Prevents foot disorders
Let's start with the most obvious: avoiding foot injuries . Good footwear, like Surippa flip-flops, helps you avoid pain in all parts of your foot. And believe us: there are many. Did you know that 70% of the population suffers from foot pain , and wearing inappropriate footwear is the main cause ?
Improper footwear can cause serious and very common problems for the majority of the population. For example, bunions affect 20% of the population , with 98% of them women , according to the Spanish Journal of Rheumatology. The cause is clear: wearing shoes with inadequate heels and narrow toes.
Another classic foot ailment is plantar fasciitis . Around 10% of the Spanish population suffers from it, experiencing the severe pain it produces. It's typically characterized by severe heel pain and can be due to a training injury or wearing inappropriate flip-flops during the summer . In fact, the end of summer often brings a surge in this condition to podiatry clinics. For this condition, wearing good footwear for both training and recovery , and investing in comfortable flip-flops, is the best option.
2. Prevents external damage to the foot
Having good footwear (comfortable and safe) is key to avoiding ailments such as plantar fasciitis or bunions, but also other external ones , such as calluses or blisters.
Good footwear should be made with quality materials, breathable, and snug-fitting to your foot to support it and not squeeze it.
If you invest in comfortable and safe footwear, you can forget about these minor injuries.
3. Improves circulation throughout the body
Good footwear is characterized by optimal cushioning . This absorbs impacts on the foot, giving you the feeling of not having to strain while walking.
In addition to caring for the soles of your feet, this also impacts your overall circulation. Stimulating the soles of your feet promotes venous return , ensuring a smooth, even flow. Maintaining your circulation has numerous health benefits: preventing varicose veins, skin blemishes, tingling, cramps, and much more.
Of course, to see results in circulation , you will have to combine your good footwear with other practices : eating a healthy diet, hydrating properly, abandoning a sedentary lifestyle and wearing loose clothing, for example.
4. Improves posture throughout the body
This is one of the most important aspects when it comes to foot care. This small part of your body bears all your weight , supporting the stress of your walks, your workouts, or simply your everyday activities.
Don't overlook this: communication between your brain and your feet is very complex and has profound effects on the rest of your body . Your feet have countless pressure receptors. So many that any sensation of pressure, no matter how small, causes your feet to shift their position , responding to signals from your brain. You're probably familiar with how annoying it is when your socks slip a little or a pebble, no matter how small, gets stuck in your shoe. These kinds of stimuli cause your feet to reposition themselves , potentially affecting the rest of your body posture.
The morphological structure of your foot has many effects on your entire body: from your ankles to your hips and spine. Therefore, wearing comfortable footwear that ensures good pressure distribution is essential for all parts of your body. It's proven that comfortable and secure footwear improves natural posture .
At Surippa, we firmly believe that comfortable footwear can change your life. That's why we've been working since 1965 to embody technology and innovation in the soles of your shoes. And that's how we made Surippa flip-flops: with attention to every aspect that comfortable and safe footwear should have. Haven't tried them yet? Get your pair now and start taking care of yourself.
