Say goodbye once and for all to fatigue at the end of the day.
Causes of foot pain in safety footwear
Safety footwear, as the name suggests, is a safe footwear, it protects your foot in case of falling load or even being run over by certain machinery.
They are essential for many jobs, but comfort is not their strong point.
They are excessively rigid, with a thick, firm and not very flexible sole.
They are made of very durable materials and are not usually very breathable.
These conditions cause the soles of your feet to suffer after a long working day. Pain appears in different parts of the sole of the foot, and you will usually find your feet numb when you take off your safety shoes.
Correct distribution of our weight when walking
The shape and materials used in the manufacture of safety footwear make it a type of footwear that is not very adaptable to the shape of your feet. It is wide so it does not squeeze you, but the insole is usually completely flat or with very little shape.
A correct distribution of our weight when walking is essential for a good plantar health and basic to avoid malformations and appearances of future pathologies.
If the surface on which we rest our feet for long days is not adapted to what we need, it is most likely that pain will appear and will favor the appearance of other pathologies.
Pathologies that cause 90% of foot pain
Apart from the shape of our feet (flat, cavus, normal), there are also certain pathologies that can cause pain in our feet.
In fact, metatarsalgia, plantar fasciitis and heel spurs are the cause of 90% of foot pain.
And poor or deficient plantar health is the cause of the appearance of these pathologies (also favored by the shape of our feet).
For this reason, it is essential that we correctly distribute all the weight of our body on the sole of the foot when walking and performing our daily activities.
Otherwise, sooner or later we will see the first symptoms of foot pain appear.
- Metatarsalgia causes pain in the metatarsal area, which is the area below the toes, popularly known as the “pad” area.
- The plantar fasciitis causes pain in the middle area of the foot, at the height of the bridge.
It is due to an inflammation of the fascia and this can be produced both by an excessive or non-existent bridge and by an incorrect and repeated support of our foot when walking. - And the heel spur acts on the heel area, because a heel spur is a hook-shaped deformity of the heel bone that causes pain on contact with the surface.
Insole for safety footwear
If the footwear is not suitable, we always recommend complementing it with an Insole, so that all the contact points of your foot are always balanced.
In the case of safety footwear, we have developed Inoles for safety footwear that are delighting the most demanding feet.
Insole for Smou Comfort safety footwear
Smou Comfort is a wide, oversized insole for safety footwear, so that the entire base of the boot or shoe is well covered.
It is a special insole for cushioning and unloading, favoring the rest of the foot while ensuring the correct distribution of your weight when walking.
