The European Union has been funding project Demo ShopInstantShoe, the development of a woman’s shoe that adjusts based on a memory shape composite of leather and Nitinol materials. The materials allow for fitting and immediate personalization in store with the help of the “Shoptool” that completes the process within minutes. Innovation Director of Footwear Juan Carlos Gonzalez states,” Anyone will be able to get the best fit, and if finally the client does not wish to buy the product, the shoe will recover the original shape by warming it up during a few seconds.” This project is directed towards women since most foot problems such as bunions and other deformities negatively affect women the most.
Proper footwear is important is preventing aching feet. For more information about everyday foot care, consult with Dr. Joshua David Scoll of Pennsylvania. Our doctorwill provide you with the foot- and ankle information you seek.
Every Day Foot Care
Often, people take care of their bodies, face and hair more so than they do for their feet. But the feet are a very important aspect of our bodies, and one that we should pay more attention to. After all, without our feet, we would not be able to perform most daily tasks. It is best to check your feet regularly to make sure there are no new bruises or cuts that you may not have noticed before, for example.
For dry feet, moisturizer can easily be a remedy and can be applied as often as necessary to the affected areas. Wearing shoes that fit well can also help you maintain good foot health, as well as making it easier to walk and do daily activities without the stress or pain of ill-fitting shoes, high heels, or even flip flops.
Also, wearing clean socks with closed shoes is important to ensure that sweat and bacteria do not accumulate within the shoe. Clean socks help to prevent athlete’s foot, fungi problems, bad odors, and can absorb sweat.
