  25. <p> </p>
  26. <p>常見成因可分為內在及外在因素,包括以下幾種:</p>
  27. <strong>遺傳:</strong>如果家族中有人是拇趾外翻,你會有更大機會出現類似的足部問題。<br data-mce-fragment="1"><br data-mce-fragment="1"><strong>足部健康問題:</strong>足部肌肉及韌帶較弱,或患有扁平足、類風濕性關節炎、足部骨骼結構異常等問題的人,會更容易出現拇趾外翻情況。<br data-mce-fragment="1"><br data-mce-fragment="1"><strong>走路姿勢:</strong>長期以錯誤的姿勢走路,例如走路時足弓塌陷、足部重心過度偏外或偏內等,都會導致腳掌受力不均,繼而形成拇趾外翻。<br data-mce-fragment="1"><br data-mce-fragment="1"><strong>鞋子影響:</strong>經常穿著不合適的鞋子,特別是窄頭鞋或高跟鞋,會限制了足部的自然活動,並會將拇趾骨壓向二趾方向,導致變形。此外,穿這些鞋子走路時,腳趾其實並沒有完全踏地及用力,從而造成肌肉弱化,加劇拇趾外翻問題。<br><br><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0639/9737/8790/files/2004857_480x480_407c34e9-150d-4607-92fe-f9751816f05c_480x480.webp?v=1711544340" alt="" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0639/9737/8790/files/2004857_480x480_407c34e9-150d-4607-92fe-f9751816f05c_480x480.webp?v=1711544340"><br><br>很多人都以為只有做手術、物理治療才能改善拇趾外翻,但其實你只要從日常生活著手、遵從以下五個治標又治本的方法,情況絕對可以改善。 <br>  <br><strong>1. 告別窄頭鞋及高跟鞋</strong><br>別再讓窄頭鞋或高跟鞋壓逼你的大拇趾!選擇寬頭鞋,給腳趾更多活動空間吧。 <br><img alt="" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0639/9737/8790/files/2A165FB1-9E71-48D4-9635-F909D7922CDD_480x480_6c8880f2-8e0e-4abb-b063-7054ca8ea576_480x480.webp?v=1711544453"> <br>不合適的鞋履除了會限制腳趾的自如活動、壓逼腳趾致骨骼變形外,更影響足部的肌肉發展。相反,寬頭鞋比較符合人類與生俱來的腳形,容許腳趾更靈活、更自然地活動,你走每一步時,腳趾都能有效地向外伸展及抓地,並且走得更舒適。 <br><strong>2. 使用腳趾分離器</strong> <br><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0639/9737/8790/files/51k3wQ5QmcL._AC_UF1000_1000_QL80_480x480_0cb77ecc-392e-4e53-873a-b59908377f57_480x480.webp?v=1711544517" alt="" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0639/9737/8790/files/51k3wQ5QmcL._AC_UF1000_1000_QL80_480x480_0cb77ecc-392e-4e53-873a-b59908377f57_480x480.webp?v=1711544517"> <br>在家赤足穿戴腳趾分離器,喚醒每一組足部肌肉及筋腱。每天三十分鐘,恢復腳趾原有的力量、改善形態。<br> <br>腳趾分離器將腳趾自然分開、增加趾間的空間,讓每隻腳趾都能活動自活,從而糾正拇趾外翻、交叠的情況,並改善因拇趾外翻引起的疼痛。此外,使用腳趾分離器能伸展及放鬆腳部肌肉,並有助調整雙腳在走路及抓地時的姿勢及著力點,幫助腳趾及肌肉平均用力,緩和拇趾外翻的情況。 <br>  <br><strong>3. 按摩足部</strong><br><br> <strong><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0639/9737/8790/files/2D40D9DE-48E4-46D8-99B8-256801BFC906_480x480_2ac88311-8783-4fb2-8196-ea76426ab470_480x480.webp?v=1711544566" alt="" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0639/9737/8790/files/2D40D9DE-48E4-46D8-99B8-256801BFC906_480x480_2ac88311-8783-4fb2-8196-ea76426ab470_480x480.webp?v=1711544566"></strong> <br>如果控制腳拇指活動的肌肉過於繃緊,容易造成拇趾外翻。適當地按摩有關肌肉及筋膜,有助舒緩外翻情況。 <br>閒時多按摩控制大拇趾向內、向外動作的足部肌肉,包括內收拇肌,以及外展拇肌。 <br>前者位於大拇趾與第二趾之間的腳面位置,如該肌肉過度繃緊及收縮,就會拉扯腳趾至變形。 <br>後者位於腳部內側足弓位置,用於打開大拇趾,兩組肌肉的力量必須平衡,才能維持大拇趾的正常形態。建議可以用手指按壓肌肉,每次30秒至1分鐘、重複3次,每天按5至10次。 <br>此外,可使用按摩球、網球等小工具按摩腳底。單腳站立,將懸空腳踩在球上,輕微施力讓球在腳底滾動,每邊做2至3分鐘。此方法有助放鬆足底筋膜,改善大拇趾肌肉的緊繃,及舒緩因拇趾外翻引致的疼痛不適。 <br><strong>4. 多做足部運動</strong><br><br>多做以下三個足部運動,有助訓練足部及腳趾肌肉,改善腳掌受力不均的情況,繼而逐步舒緩拇趾外翻。 <br>第一,踮腳尖練習。伸直腰背,踮起腳尖,將身體重心維持在正中間,維持3秒後放鬆反覆做10次為一組。每天練習3組,有助足弓重新掌握正確施力的感覺。 <br><img alt="" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0639/9737/8790/files/8AAEC204-A05F-43E6-AAEB-8DCB0C562799_480x480_b60d9ba4-357c-4fb2-b63e-beae59a161c6_480x480.webp?v=1711544652"> <br><strong>5. 多赤腳走路/選用赤足鞋</strong><br> <br>想改善拇趾外翻,必先訓練足部肌肉。赤腳走路,或穿著有赤足體驗的鞋履走路,可加強步行時的觸地感,長遠提升足部肌肉的力量。 <br><img alt="" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0639/9737/8790/files/Copy_of_480x480_57abf46c-b86c-411f-a52e-a57957b39d52_480x480.jpg?v=1711544708"> <br>拇趾外翻除了受先天因素影響所引起,更大部份原因是基於長期穿著不合適的鞋履,導致腳趾過度受壓、肌肉缺乏力量,繼而令拇趾錯誤地向外生長。因此,適當地運用足部肌肉至關重要。在安全情況下,例如家中、沙灘、草地等盡量以赤腳走路,或選用鞋底柔軟而輕薄的赤足鞋,能讓腳掌及腳趾更自如地活動,同時刺激腳底的神經元,增強足部肌肉的運動知覺。腳趾重獲力量後,拇趾外翻亦會慢慢改善。<br> <br>建立良好的走路習慣、選擇合適的鞋履、多練習及按摩足部,輕微的拇趾外翻,其實可以自救。但若問題嚴重,或引致炎症等情況,建議要尋求醫生或物理治療師的專業意見,及早處理以減輕症狀。]]>

  114.      <![CDATA[<p>拇趾外翻是一個常見的足部健康問題,特別容易發生在女性中,是指足部大拇趾向外偏移、呈現異常的起角、指甲歪向二趾,造成足部結構的改變。拇趾外翻的形成可簡單分為先天及後天因素,前者包括家族遺傳、腳部健康異常等,而後者可能是長期穿著不合適的鞋履、窄頭鞋或高跟鞋、缺乏足部運動等。<br><br></p>
  115. <h2><b>減低拇趾外翻痛症的方法</b></h2>
  116. 拇趾外翻人士可能有不同程度的痛楚,甚至會影響生活。到底在日常生活中,有什麼方法可以減輕痛症?如果真的要做手術,術後又應該如何保養?<span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"><br><br></span>
  117. <h3>按摩足部</h3>
  118. <img data-mce-fragment="1" alt="massage feet" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0639/9737/8790/files/bolest-klenby-chodidla_480x480.png?v=1701320663" data-mce-src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0639/9737/8790/files/bolest-klenby-chodidla_480x480.png?v=1701320663">
  119. <p>閒時多按摩足部的內收拇肌、外展拇肌,前者位於大拇趾與第二趾之間的腳面位置;後者位於腳部內側足弓位置。規律的足部按摩,放鬆控制腳拇指活動的肌肉及筋膜,有助舒緩外翻情況及痛楚。亦可使用按摩球、網球等小工具按摩腳底,放鬆足底筋膜,改善大拇趾肌肉的緊繃及疼痛不適。<span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"><br></span></p>
  120. <h2></h2>
  121. <div style="text-align: start;" data-mce-style="text-align: start;"><img style="float: none;" alt="massage feet with tennis ball" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0639/9737/8790/files/FBE7975D-E18C-4CC5-B043-FA24289B9611_480x480.jpg?v=1701927836" data-mce-src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0639/9737/8790/files/FBE7975D-E18C-4CC5-B043-FA24289B9611_480x480.jpg?v=1701927836" data-mce-style="float: none;"></div>
  122. <h3>做足部運動</h3>
  123. <p>多做足部運動亦有助改善拇趾外翻的情況,例如踮腳尖練習、用腳趾抓毛巾等等。這些運動能夠訓練足部及腳趾肌肉,加強腳趾的靈活性,從而改善因腳掌受力不均而引致的拇趾外翻。</p>

  125. <p><br><b> </b></p>
  126. <h3><b><b>選擇合適的鞋履<br></b></b></h3>
  127. <div style="text-align: start;" data-mce-style="text-align: start;"><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0639/9737/8790/files/2A165FB1-9E71-48D4-9635-F909D7922CDD_480x480.jpg?v=1701319366" alt="narrow toe box causing bunions versus wide toe box give your toes more room to spread" style="float: none;" data-mce-style="float: none;" data-mce-src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0639/9737/8790/files/2A165FB1-9E71-48D4-9635-F909D7922CDD_480x480.jpg?v=1701319366"></div>
  128. <p>合適的鞋履對拇趾外翻人士而言,其實是最重要。日常應盡量避免穿尖頭鞋或高跟鞋,避免對腳趾造成過度壓逼,加劇痛楚。應選擇鞋頭較寬闊的鞋子,給予腳趾更多的活動空間。</p>
  129. <p>如果種種自救方法都無法改善拇趾外翻的嚴重痛症,手術可能是最後的選擇。特別要留意的是,拇趾外翻很容易復發,所以術後必須做好保養措施、改變生活習慣,才能避免拇趾外翻再次出現!</p>
  130. <h2><b><br>拇趾外翻手術後的保養<br></b></h2>
  131. <h2><b> </b></h2>
  132. <h3>培養做足部運動的習慣:</h3>
  133. <p>手術後應保持固定足部運動,這有助於恢復足部及腳趾的靈活性及力量,避免因腳趾肌肉力量不足而造成的拇趾外翻。<br><b><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"><br></span></b></p>
  134. <b> </b>
  135. <h3>學習正確的步姿:</h3>
  136. 建立正確的步行姿勢、走路時保持身體重心平衡,有助腳掌平均受力,可減輕大拇趾的壓力,預防復發。<br><b><br> </b>
  137. <h3>改變穿鞋的習慣:</h3>
  138. 這是避免拇趾外翻再次發生的重要一環。鞋子必須能提供足夠支撐;鞋頭應有足夠空間讓腳趾活動,以保持其靈活性;鞋底亦應較薄,為足部提供更大的觸地感,從而刺激足底的神經元,而赤足鞋正正是一個理想的選擇。<br>
  139. <p> </p>
  140. <h2><b>赤足鞋如何改善拇趾外翻?</b></h2>
  141. 赤足鞋根據人類與生俱來的腳型而設,能夠為雙腳帶來最自然的保護,是拇趾外翻人士想改善現況,或是手術後保養的最佳選擇。
  142. <h3></h3>
  143. <h3>寬鞋頭設計<b> <br> </b>
  144. </h3>
  145. <p>赤足鞋的寬鞋頭設計,給予腳趾在走路及運動時有充足的空間向外伸展,讓腳底創造更多有效支撐點,活動時更穩健。此外,寬鞋頭除了有助減少鞋頭對拇趾造成的物理壓迫、防止進一步變形外,也能讓足部維持在最自然的形態下,提供更舒適的穿著感。</p>
  146. <p> </p>
  147. <h3>鞋底輕薄柔軟<b> <br> </b>
  148. </h3>
  149. 赤足鞋亦具備薄鞋底的優勢。赤足鞋的鞋底一般較輕薄、柔軟,有助加強雙腳的觸地感,激發足部的感官神經,提升肌肉運動知覺、敏捷度和平衡力。鞋底亦能讓足部有更強的抓地力,進而訓練足部及腳趾的肌肉,令腳掌更能平均受力,矯正拇趾外翻。

  246. <h2><b>1) Detailed descriptions of suitable sports shoes for each activity:</b></h2>
  247. <p>There are several sports commonly practiced by Hong Kong people, such as jogging, fitness training, basketball, etc. In the the following:</p>

  251. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">When it comes to trail running, it is recommended to choose trail shoes with strong traction and overall support. Through special shoe construction, these shoes allow us to maintain balance and stability while running on uneven surfaces. A good pair of trail shoes typically have the following features:</span></p>
  252. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br>1. Strong Traction: Trail running shoes typically have strong traction, with outsoles featuring prominent treads or studs that provide sufficient grip and slip resistance on unstable and rugged surfaces.</span></p>
  253. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">2. Flexible Sole: Trail runners need to adapt to different terrains continuously. Therefore, a flexible and lightweight sole is needed to enhance foot sensitivity and allows for quick responses to varying slopes and uneven surfaces, protecting the feet through their natural mechanisms.</span></p>
  254. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">3. Protective Design: Trail running shoes often have reinforced protective features near the toe area, some even have a rock plate, to prevent runners from injuring their toes when accidentally kicking rocks or other obstacles.</span></p>
  255. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">4. Wide Toe Box: Trail runners often encounter rugged terrains, which is why they need a wide toe box that allows their toes to spread out and have more room to grip the ground. This provides greater support to the feet by offering a larger surface area.<br></span></p>

  259. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Jogging shoes are specially designed shoes that provide sufficient comfort, breathability, and flexibility for joggers. The main function is to spread the load evenly, allowing runners to fully utilize their arch muscles and enjoy each run safely. Here are the main features of jogging running shoes :</span></p>
  260. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">1. Thin Sole: A thinner sole is beneficial for runners with shorter strides as it encourages a mid-forefoot strike. This helps strengthen the runner's natural shock-absorbing mechanism, enhances the arch muscles, and reduces the risk of injury.</span></p>
  261. <p>2. <span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">High Flexibility: A pair of good running shoes should have a flexible sole that allows the feet to move easily, while still providing grip and leaping ability during foot strikes, maximizing the efficiency of each step.</span></p>
  262. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">3. High Breathability: Jogging shoes are typically made with breathable materials that ventilate the foot with every stride, keeping them cool and comfortable.</span></p>
  263. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">4. Lightweight: Many jogging shoes are designed to be lightweight, reducing the burden on the feet and enhancing comfort and overall wearing experience.</span></p>

  267. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Indoor sports venues(such as gyms and indoor basketball courts) have different footwear requirements compared to outdoor venues. They often focus on lateral movements, quick changes in direction, and support for various indoor training activities. Excellent training shoes/weightlifting shoes typically have the following features:</span></p>
  268. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">1. Non-Slip: During training, there are often numerous jumping and turning movements. Therefore, the outsole pattern of indoor sports shoes is different from other shoes. The training tread may have a raised heel which is particularly beneficial for providing traction during lateral movements.</span></p>
  269. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">2. Lightweight: Indoor training shoes are typically designed to be very lightweight. This enhances comfort and overall wearing experience, allowing you to feel more relaxed and agile during your training sessions.</span></p>
  270. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">3.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Strong Breathability: Most indoor training shoes are designed with breathable uppers, allowing moisture to escape and keeping your feet cool and dry, reducing sweat and discomfort.</span></p>
  271. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">4.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">High Flexibility: Indoor training shoes typically have excellent flexibility, which enhances foot mobility and allows toe splay and move freely, making you feel more relaxed and agile during your training sessions.</span></p>

  274. <b>2)<span> </span></b><b>How to choose the right running shoes/training shoes as a beginner? Here are some tips:</b>
  275. </h2>
  276. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As beginners often lack experience and technique, selecting appropriate sports shoes for protection is especially crucial. As a novice, you can follow these attributes when choosing sports shoes:<br><br>1.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Try-On: When selecting shoes, it's important not to rely solely on shoe size. Different brands have different shoe models, and shoe sizes may not fully indicate the width of the shoe. Therefore, it's best to try on the shoes and choose based on your own foot shape (e.g. Asians generally have wider feet).</span></p>
  277. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">2. Shoe Functionality: Select the appropriate running shoes or training shoes based on your activity and its intensity. Choose shoes that have the necessary features and functionalities.</span></p>
  278. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">3. Flexibility: When selecting shoes, pay attention to the flexibility and thickness of the outsole. Choosing shoes with overly thick outsoles or insufficient flexibility can reduce the sensitivity of the foot and increase the risk of injury.</span></p>
  279. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">4. Toe Box Width: Regardless of the sport, having good traction for your feet is crucial for maintaining balance and agility. This is why it is important to choose sports shoes with a wide toe box, allowing your toes to have ample space to grip to the ground and enhance stability during physical activities.<br></span></p>

  285. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Barefoot sports shoes are typically with a wide toe box and thin sole, are designed to enhance the sensitivity of the foot and adapt to various movements such as running and jumping. These shoes have a wide range of applications and offer numerous benefits. The main advantage is that they can improve the foot's intrinsic muscle strength through training, leading to long-term enhancements in athletic performance and injury prevention.</span></p>

  312. <b>4)<span> </span></b><b>FAQ about barefoot sports shoes:</b>
  313. </h2>
  314. <h3><b>1. Should I choose sports shoes with thick soles for shock absorption? </b></h3>
  315. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sports shoe soles should not be excessively thick and heavy as it can diminish the ability of the plantar nerve to feel the ground, thereby reducing sensitivity and increasing the risk of ankle sprains or other discomfort. When choosing sports shoes, it is recommended to opt for thinner, lighter, and more flexible soles. This helps to enhance the kinesthetic force feedback on feet, stimulate muscle gripping ability, and ultimately improve the foot's shock absorption capability.</span></p>
  316. <p> </p>
  317. <h3><b>2. How should a person with flat feet choose sports shoes?</b></h3>
  318. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A person with lower arches is advised to choose shoes with a wide toe box and thinner soles. This helps to enhance foot kinesthetic feedback and makes it easier to activate various foot muscles during walking or running, gradually restoring the arch. However, if you have severe flat feet, it is advised to consult a physiotherapist and choose sports shoes based on your individual condition. It is best to gradually adapt to the wearing of barefoot shoes.</span></p>
  319. <p> </p>
  320. <h3><b>3. How to care for your barefoot sports shoes?</b></h3>
  321. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">1. Hong Kong's weather is often humid, so it is recommended to apply a layer of waterproof coating to the upper and insole of sports shoes for easier cleaning.<br><br>2. Separating indoor and outdoor sports shoes is recommended to prevent accelerated wear and tear on training shoes when used for both purposes.<br><br>3. It is advised to avoid direct sunlight when drying hand-made fiber shoes as it can damage the fiber structure and accelerate the deterioration of the shoes.</span></p>

To immensely enjoy the beauty of nature, it's important to choose your hiking gear carefully. A suitable pair of barefoot hiking shoes can help ensure your safety and foot health, allowing you to complete your hiking journey comfortably. Today, let's discuss how to choose the right hiking shoes for yourself.</span></p>

  340. <h2><b>1)  When purchasing barefoot hiking shoes, you need to consider the following factors:</b></h2>
  341. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">There are various hiking shoe recommendations available in the market. If you're feeling overwhelmed and unsure where to start, you can consider purchasing hiking shoes based on the following methods:</span></p>
  342. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">1. Foot Size: Having a properly fitted pair of hiking shoes is crucial for your overall hiking experience. Before measuring your foot size, wear the socks you intend to use during your hiking journey. Additionally, it's recommended to try on shoes in the afternoon or evening when your feet are most swollen, as this will closely resemble your foot size during hiking.。</span></p>
  343. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">2. Shoe Shape: When trying on hiking shoes, pay attention to the space for your toes to ensure they aren't being squeezed. It's advised to go for barefoot hiking shoes with a wide toe box, which allows your toes to spread out. This provides more support to your feet and helps maintain balance while walking on steep terrains.</span></p>
  344. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">3. Traction: Hiking shoes should have good traction, such as waffle sole or pronounced patterns on the outsole. These features create friction with the ground, providing slip resistance and ensuring stability while hiking。</span></p>
  345. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">4. Materials: The typical hiking shoes found in the market are made from leather, synthetic fibers, and mesh fabric. Leather shoes are generally more durable but may require a longer break-in time. Synthetic material shoes are lightweight but may be less durable. Mesh fabric shoes are breathable and most lightweight, but they offer less durability and protection.</span></p>
  346. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">5. Sole Flexibility: Some hiking shoes on the market may have thick and rigid soles, which can affect the contact between the plantar nerves and the ground, making it difficult for your feet to grip properly. It is recommended to choose barefoot hiking shoes with softer soles, as this effectively enhances balance and agility, making you less prone to injuries while hiking.</span></p>
  347. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">6. Choose according to the trail: Different types of hiking trails will require different types of hiking shoes. However, if your route involves rugged terrain, you may need hiking shoes with better support.</span></p>

  353. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Choosing the right hiking shoes for different trails is an essential part of ensuring comfort, safety, and performance. Here are the recommended hiking shoe choices based on different types of trails:</span></p>
  354. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">1. Short Hikes on Even Terrain: For easy trails with even surfaces, lightweight barefoot hiking shoes or trail running shoes are suitable. You should pay attention to the traction of the sole and the breathability of the shoe upper.</span></p>
  355. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">2. Long-distance hiking: When you need to hike continuously for two or more days, possibly carrying a heavier backpack and walking on rugged terrain, it may be necessary to have higher support and more durable hiking shoes. It is recommended to choose shoes with higher ankle support and good waterproofing features to keep your feet dry.</span></p>
  356. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">3. Hiking on rocky terrain: If you need to hike on rocky terrain, in addition to considering the traction of the outsole, it is highly recommended to choose hiking shoes with toe protection features. This will help prevent toes injury in case of accidentally kicking rocks.</span></p>
  357. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">4.Hiking in wet environments: If you are hiking during the rainy season, it is important to choose waterproof hiking shoes or mid-cut boots to keep your feet dry. Alternatively, you can also consider applying a layer of waterproof spray on your shoes to create a waterproof barrier.</span></p>
  358. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">5. Hiking in cold weather: For hiking in cold weather, it is recommended to choose boots with thick insulation and a waterproof layer to keep your feet dry and warm.</span></p>
  359. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">6. Trail running: If you are going trail running, it is advised to choose lightweight trail running shoes that provide sufficient traction on the outsole. Look for shoes that offer good breathability to keep your feet comfortable and flexible during your run.</span></p>
  360. <p> </p>
  361. <h2><b>3) The main differences between barefoot hiking shoes and traditional hiking shoes are:</b></h2>
  362. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Many hiking shoes on the market are designed with a strong emphasis on protection, featuring rigid toe caps and thick soles. These designs were initially intended to protect our feet from kicking hard objects and provide comfort throughout the hike. However, when the sole becomes excessively thick, it can reduce flexibility and sensitivity in the foot. When our feet can't grip the ground properly, our agility and balance may weaken, making us more prone to injuries.</span></p>
  363. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Barefoot hiking shoes adhere closely to the natural shape of the human foot. With thinner soles compared to regular hiking shoes, they allow our feet to better feel the ground, adapt to different terrain conditions, and respond to various conditions. By utilizing the intrinsic strength of foot muscles, it helps reduce the risk of injuries. Additionally, the design of barefoot hiking shoes allows for greater flexibility, with a wider toe box that allows toes to splay and grip the ground. This enables the foot arch muscles to be trained and strengthened while hiking, promoting foot's natural abilities.</span></p>

  367. <div style="text-align: left;" data-mce-style="text-align: left;"></div>
  368. <div style="text-align: left;" data-mce-style="text-align: left;"></div>
  369. <div style="text-align: left;" data-mce-style="text-align: left;">1. Care for new shoes<br>When wearing new shoes for the first time, it is advised to use a protective spray to maintain the leather and enhance the water resistance of the shoes. Before spraying, remove the shoelaces and make sure to cover all the hidden corners and concealed areas of the shoes, especially around the tongue.</div>
  370. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">2. Shoe care after use<br>After every hiking trip, it is important to loosen the shoelaces, remove the insoles, and ensure that the shoes are thoroughly dried. Even during long hikes, it is essential not to neglect shoe care. Take breaks during the hike or in the evenings to clean and maintain your shoes. If your hiking shoes are particularly dirty, it is recommended to use a soft-bristle brush and warm water to wash off the mud and dirt from the shoe surface. It is advised to use a specialized hiking shoe cleaner for this purpose.<br></span></p>
  371. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">3. Leather Care<br>If the lining of your hiking shoes is made of genuine leather, it is necessary to regularly apply moisturizing conditioner or hand lotion to gently wipe and maintain it. The salt content in sweat can corrode the genuine leather lining, causing it to become dry, brittle, and stiff.<br></span></p>
  372. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">4. Shoe care during Humid Weather<br>Even for everyday wear, if you are in a humid environment, such as summer in Hong Kong, it is important to promptly and thoroughly air dry your shoes. Natural leather absorbs a significant amount of moisture, and if the accumulated moisture inside the shoes is not completely dried, it can lead to unpleasant odors and diminish the effectiveness of protective care products.<br></span></p>

  409. <h2><b>6) FAQ about hiking barefoot shoes: </b></h2>
  410. <h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">1.Should I buy a proper size or go half a size up for hiking shoes?</span></h3>
  411. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Many people have a misconception that hiking shoes must be purchased in a size bigger than their regular shoes. However, shoe sizes can vary among different brands, manufacturers, and shoe models, so relying solely on shoe size is not accurate. It is recommended to try on hiking shoes before purchasing, preferably wearing thick hiking socks or the socks you typically wear for hiking. Additionally, it's best to try on shoes in the afternoon or evening when your feet are more likely to be slightly swollen, as this will better replicate the conditions of your feet during hiking and help you find the right size more accurately.</span></p>
  412. <p> </p>
  413. <h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">2. Do hiking shoes need to be waterproof?</span></h3>
  414. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In general, waterproofing and breathability are two conflicting features in hiking shoes. If you don't have a habit of hiking in the rain and usually hike with a round trip in the day, you may not necessarily need waterproof hiking shoes. It is recommended to choose shoes with high breathability, soft and flexible soles, as this improves balance and agility during hiking and prevents injuries. However, if you are planning a multi-day backpacking trip with varying elevations and terrains, it is advisable to choose waterproof hiking shoes. In case of encountering muddy or rainy conditions, you can continue your journey with dry foot the next day.</span></p>
  415. <p> </p>
  416. <h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">3. How to choose between high-cut and low-cut hiking shoes?</span></h3>
  417. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">High-cut waterproof hiking shoes are suitable for routes that involve water crossings. They offer sufficient waterproofing capabilities and provide adequate ankle protection, reducing the risk of injuries. On the other hand, low-cut waterproof hiking shoes are more suitable for relatively easy terrains. High-cut waterproof hiking shoes tend to be bulkier, while low-cut waterproof hiking shoes are lighter and more agile.</span></p>

  432.      <![CDATA[<h2><b>1) What are flat feet?</b></h2>
  433. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Flat feet refers to the condition where one or both feet have little to no arch. This condition can be congenital or develop during the growth process. In the long run, flat feet can result in insufficient support while walking or standing, causing the foot to lose its normal cushioning and shock-absorbing functions. Over time, this can lead to foot pain, muscle fatigue, leg pain, knee pain, and lower back pain.</span></p>
  434. <p>Hence, most individuals with flat feet seek various methods for correction or treatment. For instance, specialized shoes, insoles, and flat feet running shoes designed for flat feet patients. Additionally, there are centers specialized in treating flat feet, improving their condition.</p>
  435. <div style="text-align: left;" data-mce-style="text-align: left;"><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0639/9737/8790/files/Screenshot_2023-06-15_110937_480x480.png?v=1686799031" alt="Flat Feet-Flatfoot Correction-Flat Foot" style="float: none;" data-mce-style="float: none;"></div>

  437. <h2><b>2) The causes of flat feet:</b></h2>
  438. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">The causes of flat feet can be attributed to various factors, including:</span></p>
  439. <p>1. Congenital: Some individuals are born with flat feet, including cases caused by genetic inheritance or fetal development issues.</p>
  440. <p>2. Acquired: Flat feet can also develop during the growth process due to factors such as wearing ill-fitting shoes, being overweight, or aging. Additionally, injuries or other foot-related issues can also lead to the formation of flat feet.</p>
  441. <p>3. Neurological Disorders: Certain neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis may also lead to the development of flat feet.</p>
  442. <p>4. Bone Disorders: Certain bone conditions such as osteoporosis may also lead to the development of flat feet.</p>
  443. <p> </p>
  444. <h2><b>3) Some methods to determine if you have flat feet:</b></h2>
  445. <p>1. Wet Footprint Test: Wet the bottom of your foot and then step onto a clean piece of paper. Examine the footprint. If the imprint shows a distinct curve along the arch in the middle, your arch height is considered normal. On the other hand, if the imprint shows a complete footprint <span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">totally filled in without much of an inward curve in the center</span><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">, you likely have flat feet.</span></p>
  446. <p>2. Tip-Toe Test: Sit on a chair with both feet flat on the ground, then raise your heels to stand on your tiptoes. If the arch of your foot becomes more pronounced, your arch height may be normal. If there is no change in the arch and it remains flat, you may have flat feet.</p>
  447. <p>3. Check Your Shoes: If the inner side of your shoe sole is more worn than the other side, it may indicate that you likely have flat feet.</p>

  533. <p><b><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0639/9737/8790/files/Copy_of_61B9AC21-8A05-4D2B-AE4E-E68BA3D56348_480x480.jpg?v=1691987856" alt="Barefoot-Barefoot Shoes-Barefoot Hong Kong" data-mce-src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0639/9737/8790/files/Copy_of_61B9AC21-8A05-4D2B-AE4E-E68BA3D56348_480x480.jpg?v=1691987856"></b></p>
  534. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Barefoot shoes are footwear that mimic walking barefoot. They typically have thin and flexible soles, as well as a wide toe box, allowing the feet to move freely.<br></span></p>
  535. <p>Throughout history, humans primarily walked barefoot, relying on the sensory feedback from the ground and utilizing the foot muscles to adapt to different surfaces and protect their feet. Unfortunately, modern footwear provides excessive protection, depriving us of the innate ability to walk barefoot.</p>
  536. <p>Recognising the weakening of our innate ability, athletes and barefoot enthusiasts from around the world have explored the possibilities of footwear, experimenting with wide toe boxes, thinner soles, and various materials and designs. As a result, barefoot shoes were created, featuring unconventional designs that mimic natural barefoot walking.</p>
  537. <p>Compared to typical modern shoes, barefoot shoes with their thin soles and wide toe boxes help restore our most natural and comfortable walking posture. They allow our feet to utilize their initial strength, strengthen the arches, and reduce discomfort.</p>
  538. <p> </p>
  539. <h2><b>2) Benefits of barefoot shoes</b></h2>
  540. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Overall, barefoot shoes have two main benefits:</span></p>
  541. <p>(1) Wide Toe Box Design: The wide toe box design allows the toes to have sufficient space to spread out, enabling the feet to create more effective points of support. This results in more stable and comfortable walking.</p>
  542. <p>(2)Thin Sole Advantage: Barefoot shoes have thin and flexible soles that enhance the sensation of walking on the ground. This improves muscle proprioception, agility, and balance.</p>

  545. <span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">The benefits of barefoot shoes for different individuals:</span>
  546. <ul>
  547. <li><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"> Children: Barefoot shoes with a wide toe box give children's toes more space to develop.</span></li>
  548. </ul>
  549. <ul>
  550. <li><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"> Athletes: Wearing barefoot shoes while running allows the big toe to naturally extend, strengthens the arches of the feet, improves foot offloading, and the thin sole stimulates the plantar nerves more easily. This activates eccentric contraction of the anterior tibialis muscle, protecting the knees and reducing overall risk of injuries.</span></li>
  551. </ul>
  552. <ul>
  553. <li><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"> Individuals with Mild Flat Feet or Low Arch: Barefoot shoes can provide sufficient space for the feet, allowing the toes to straighten and align with the arch, effectively engaging the arch muscles and training them while walking.</span></li>
  554. </ul>
  555. <ul>
  556. <li>
  557. <span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"> Individuals who frequently stand or walk during work: Barefoot shoes usually have wider shoe bodies, increasing surface and enhancing toe and </span><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">plantar region </span><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">muscle engagement. With proper walking posture, this can gradually strengthen foot muscles, minimize excessive force from foot to other parts of the body, and reduce foot and ankle pain.</span>
  558. </li>
  559. </ul>
  560. <p> </p>
  561. <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"><b>3) How to choose the right barefoot shoes?</b></span></h2>
  562. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">It is important to consider several factors when making a barefoot shoes purchase decision </span></p>
  563. <ol>
  564. <li>
  565. <span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"> Foot Size: The sizing system for barefoot shoes can vary, so to obtain the most accurate size, you should first measure the length of your foot using a measuring tape. It is recommended to measure your foot size in the afternoon since your feet tend to be at their largest at that time. Then, refer to the size chart provided by the manufacturer to select the appropriate shoe size.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"><br><br></span>
  566. </li>
  567. <li>
  568. <span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"> Foot Shape: Barefoot shoes are designed to mimic the natural shape of the foot, so when selecting shoes, it is important to consider your foot shape. If you have wider feet, you should choose shoes with a wider toe box to provide ample space for your toes. Additionally, pay attention to whether the shape of the toe box and the arrangement of your toes align.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"><br><br></span>
  569. </li>
  570. <li><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"> Elasticity of Shoes: Barefoot shoes should be elastic and be soft enough to allow natural movement of the feet. When purchasing shoes, it's important to pay attention to if the sole of the shoes is soft and pliable.</span></li>
  571. </ol>
  572. <ol start="4">
  573. <li>
  574. <span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"> Sole Thickness: Thin sole is a characteristic of barefoot shoes, designed to provide a more natural sensation. Choose shoes with a sole thickness of 3-8mm, offer adequate foot protection while maintaining flexibility.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"><br><br></span>
  575. </li>
  576. <li>
  577. <span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"> Type of activity: Various barefoot shoe designs are tailored for different activities, such as running, hiking, or casual wear. Choose shoes that are suitable for the specific activity you will be engaging in. For instance, hiking shoes may have a more slip-resistant sole, while running shoes may feature more breathable materials.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"><br><br></span>
  578. </li>
  579. <li><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"> An Optimal Fit: It is crucial to try on barefoot shoes! Everyone's foot adaptability varies, so when buying barefoot shoes, it's important to walk in them to test their fit and comfort. Remember to wear the type of socks you usually wear and ensure there is enough space for your toes to move and the shoes fit snugly without being too tight.</span></li>
