A new study shows that gout patients often wear unsuitable shoes, which can cause severe pain, tissue damage, and even severe loss of mobility.

Researchers at Oakland University in New Zealand studied the condition of their shoes in fifty gout patients at Department of rheumatism clinic. The study showed that many gout patients had poor cushioning function, lack of support and stability, and shoes could not fit in with footsteps.

Only about 56% of the patients choose shoes. Gym shoes Light shoes, walking shoes or cattle tendon shoes are all good choices. But 42% of gout patients wear shoes that may aggravate pain, such as sandals, slippers, slippers or deer shoes. High-heeled shoes Wear boots The child has 2%.

The researchers suggest that gout patients should choose shoes that are sufficiently wide and have enough cushioning function to allow feet to move freely and unobstructed.
