Plastic shoes are trend, but what about its adverse effects - and little hygienic -?

He escrito otras veces sobre zapatos más o menos molestos. Tuvieron su momento los extravagantes zapatos de punta abierta de Y / Project e incluso volvieron las sandalias tanga con tacón y sus dedos al aire sin complejos. ¿Pero y los zapatos de plástico? Esos sí que me dan los siete males. Son como ver el pie entre nublos, pero además en un sentido muy literal: se empañan por el calor. De hecho, los zapatos de plástico son como transparentes ecosistemas en miniatura, con su propia capa perpetua de condensación procedente de los vapores que genera la transpiración del pie descalzo (y como la ciencia nos dice, la humedad y el calor hacen crecer cosas… aaarg ).

Plastic shoes are also an inexhaustible source of fetid jokes on Instagram.The @larslala account by Lars Byrresen Petersen, which tracks the shoemaker disasters that are around the catwalks, published a traumatizing image of a tubular boot of Yeezy Sudada (despite its 950 dollars) under this ingenious and scathing title: "When your shitIt does not smell, but your feet yes ".At the other extreme, the most beautiful, from Petersen's account, the image of a Chanel plastic boot of whose sole sprouted Rosas also came out.The photo is beautiful, but it does not move much away from the harsh reality: a plant could, in all likelihood, prosper right there.It is as if that closed atmosphere made the fingers a unique pedicure based on Petri plates.And yet, plastic platforms cause rage.From the collaboration of Off-White X Jimmy Choo, Rihanna agreed some halls as a hermetic bag.Bella Hadid also dies from transparent heels, just like Kim Kardashian West.And, more recently, we have seen Kristen Stewart at the Cannes Film Festival with transparent but chic boots but Chanel's power.

My colleagues seem to agree with the problems of the plastic shoe, but especially on the side of discomfort.Just mentioning pvc footwear - both closed as an open tip - brought to light their long history of blisters.The director of Vogue Fashion News, Chioma Nnadi, recalled that occasion when the city was traveled with plasticized feet: "I think it was the hottest summer in New York that I have seen in my life, so imagine what meant that meantFor my poor feet with those happy shoes.I still have brands, "he confesses."And 10 years have passed!".As for the most closed, it is reached at a higher level of suffocation.Only a few days ago, the aforementioned KKW published an image of her feet trapped in such tight plastic rooms that they even seemed to cut the circulation in some areas.

Health professionals agree that the dangers of plastic footwear are real and, in fact, very alive.According to dr.Positano Rock, director of the foot and ankle service at the New York Special Surgery Hospital, its lack of perspiration is undoubtedly a nociv or factor."The foot in itself [without sock] inside the shoe, whether plastic or not, is already a perfect environment for bacterial and fungal growth.There is humidity, darkness and heat, "says Positano."The combination of these three things inside the shoe creates a dangerous atmosphere".Apart from this, some people are also allergic to plastic and may experience an allergic reaction, or "hot feet", a term that uses positano to describe contact dermatitis, an irritation of the skin that creates a sensation in the foot as if it wereablaze.

Another deterrent against the use of plastic shoes is the fact that they are very rigid."Plastic shoes have no flexibility.They are very, very hard.The feet swell naturally in the afternoon, so a person can pass from a size 38 to 40, but the plastic does not expand with the foot, ”he explains."A leather or leather shoe has the ability to widen a little".Positano explains that the compression exerts a plastic shoe is as if someone tries to throw 40 liters of water in a 20 tank.Another factor to consider, especially if the sole is made of plastic, is the little absorption of the impact that, according to Positano, can lead to a series of problems - especially pain in the joints and bones - in other parts of the bodyLike knees and back."If they are used in inappropriate circumstances, they can cause you an important problem," says Positano."Let's recognize it, it's not Cinderella's shoe.It is the best way to lose the graduation dance ".

If you still want to look like a PVC princess, think about it: the shoes are ideal for photographic sessions or cocktails (if they take you there by car);And not to dance all night or wandering around the city (Positano points out that the key is to use them "in moderation").But another option could be to wear a colorful sock instead.And for the sake of non -condensation, please, a little Heattech technology.
