Listening to your body is the key success factor in any sports. If your feet are crying within the shoes due to discomfort, it is more likely that you cannot give your best performance on that day. So, to win in sports, apart from the sporting talent and skills, both ingrained and developed, it is essential to wear the right shoes. Learn more about how the perfect shoe is adored by your feet.
· Ankle: The ankle holds the largest bone in the feet - calcaneum. This is the bone that supports the whole weight of the body before transferring it to the outside border of the feet. The ankle is very sensitive part and the shoes should fit properly without tightly hugging the ankle. Since ankle injuries are very common in sports, the right choice of footwear can help in reducing them.
· Middle area of feet: The major part of the feet is from the ankle to the beginning of the toes, which is in the shape of an arc. This gives the base for the feet formation and helps in transfer of weight from the ankle to the ground through the outer border. The maximum hugging of the footwear happens here and therefore the girth of this area needs to be considered for achieving the right fitment.
· Toes: The toes are very sensitive and important parts. Generally shoes narrow down as they reach toes, thereby causing the toes to jam against each other. This would cause skin infections and other microbial infections in the webbing between each pair of toes.
· Soles: Some sports persons have sweaty soles and therefore the insoles of the footwear should be able to absorb the moisture formed.
· Skin: The skin perspires and lets out sweat and also fatty matter, thanks to the sebaceous glands causing the feet to become oily. The fabric should be able to absorb these matters and dry out quickly.
