For sprinters, the small-sized shoes allow faster speed. In football, they ensure better grip. In soccer, tight shoes increase ball control. And in ice hockey, they enable more precise steering maneuvers. "So many amateur sportsmen admire stars like Usain Bolt or Cristiano Ronaldo. It's shocking how many amateur sportsmen consider cramming their feet into tiny shoes, simply to run a little faster. There is huge discussion in sport forums about pros and cons of wearing small-sized shoes," states Tim Lilling, expert at blitzresults.com.
What at first appears to be a negligible matter, can
eventually evolve into a serious health hazard. Crammed toes have insufficient
blood circulation, resulting in oxygen and nutrients' deficiency. At first the
toes become numb, then nail fungus spreads, after that the toes begin to die
off. There is also an increased risk of blood clots which can end in heart
attacks or strokes. Wearing tight shoes over years deforms feet. Walking
problems and backaches being the least dangerous side effects.
Professional athletes earn a lot of money and have
access to excellent medical care. To them, taking risk, may be financially
worthwhile. But more and more sports amateurs blindly follow their role models.
"We are seeing a disturbing trend to buy small-sized shoes. Especially
teenagers and young adults buy their shoes up to two sizes smaller. This form
of self-tuning is dangerous particularly for youths. They completely
underestimate the long-term risks," states Tim Lilling. There is only
one way to avoid serious damages: always buy shoes in the right size.
