How to determine inversion and eversion of the foot

In our lives, people who are good at observing life will find that some people walk with their feet turned inward, while others walk with their feet turned outward. People will confuse walking posture with inversion of the feet. In fact, these are two completely different things, because inversion of the feet is a phenomenon of developmental deformity, and most developmental deformities are brought out of the mother's body. So how do you judge whether the feet are inverted or everted?

When it comes to specifically distinguishing between eversion and inversion, here is a simple and easy method, which is to connect the midline of the calf, the midpoint of the ankle joint and the heel into a line, and look at the shape of this line. If it is a straight line, it means that your foot is normal. If a "<" symbol appears, it means that your foot may be everted. If the line is a ">" symbol, it mostly indicates that the foot is inverted.

So, what kind of shoes are suitable for inversion and eversion? For friends with inversion, because the outside of the back of the foot touches the ground first when walking, they should wear stable shoes with relatively low outside and high inside. This will help to gradually correct the unfavorable gait. For friends with outward-turned feet, the inner side of the foot is low and the outer side is high after landing. For friends with this type of feet, shock-absorbing shoes are suitable.

In addition, as the time of wearing this kind of shoes increases, the problem of eversion or inversion is gradually improved. At this time, you should pay attention to seeking truth from facts and change shoes according to the actual situation of your feet, otherwise it may have the opposite effect. However, for this type of shoe that is specially designed to correct eversion and inversion, because various materials need to be placed inside the shoe, some professional athletes are reluctant to wear it. This is because this type of shoe will increase the weight of the shoe, which is not conducive to exerting force and may affect running efficiency.

Another point that needs to be pointed out is that inversion or eversion of the foot does not necessarily mean that the foot is injured. Therefore, friends who have mild inversion or eversion do not need to worry too much. In daily life, insisting on calf and foot muscle strength training can also help correct inversion and eversion.
