You can tell from your shoes whether you are walking correctly.

Before judging, we must first understand that under normal walking conditions, the wear of shoes should be symmetrical, because our feet are evenly stressed, and the worn parts will be concentrated in the forefoot and heel.

Wear of lateral sole

If the sole is worn on the outside, it means that the knee folds inward, which will directly lead to the calf bending to the outside, resulting in the so-called "O-leg" symptom. At this time, the force exerted on the lateral side of the foot will be significantly greater than that on the medial side, and the lateral wear of the sole will occur. If not corrected, this walking posture will lead to the wear of cartilage outside the knee, which may lead to arthritis, and even cause compression and pain to the hip bone in severe cases.

2. The inside of the sole is worn.

If the sole is found to be worn on the inside, it means that the knee is valgus, which makes the calf converge inward, and when walking, it presents an "inside figure" or the toes are severely valgus, which will lead to this situation. Long-term use of this walking posture will accelerate joint degeneration and cause discomfort to knees and lumbar vertebrae.

3. Asymmetric wear on both sides

If we find that the two sides of our soles are not symmetrical, it means that our feet are unevenly stressed. It may be because our legs are different in length, our walking habits are not good, or our pelvis is tilted, which will lead to the deformation of our spine.

What is the correct walking posture?

The correct walking posture should be head up, chest out, abdomen in, and waist straight; Force is to pay attention to the crotch, first lift the thigh and drive the calf forward; When the foot lands, the heel lands first, then the arch and toes land in turn.
