Using quality shoes improves the health and the comfort of our feet and our body. To maintain the quality of your shoes, they need periodic shoe repair, which, in the end, will save you money.
When buying shoes, the majority of people make their choice based on aesthetics rather than on health, although healthy feet are really important.
Our feet carry the weight of our body throughout the day and that’s why you should choose quality shoes. The quality of shoes is mainly defined by the material the shoes are made of. Leather, for example, is a natural and breathable material, allowing your feet to breath, regulate moisture, reduce the proliferation of bacteria and fungi and eliminate foot odour.
1. Quality shoes regulate foot moisture
All day long, feet are locked in shoes; a poorly ventilated environment. Leather is a breathable material that also absorbs humidity. Good quality leather has the ability to absorb moisture.
To improve absorption of moisture, it is important to keep the shoes with corresponding wooden shoe trees. The wood has hygroscopic property, that is, it absorbs moisture from the atmosphere, which allows it to regulate the humidity; and wood cleans the environment by maintaining optimum moisture levels (between 40% and 60%). Not only is it providing welfare, it also decreases the risk of infection or allergic reactions to limit the occurrence of mites and bacteria.
2. Quality shoes prevent foot odour
Some synthetic materials don’t allow the shoe to breath, producing proliferation of bacteria and fungi and bad odour. By choosing quality shoes you will get rid of smelly feet.
3. Quality shoes avoid discomfort and other problems
Your feet tend to widen during the day. Narrow shoes cause deformities in the toes through rubbing and pressure. We must protect our feet using a shoe with high quality material that avoids possible friction and inflammation.
4. Quality shoes help you save money
Good quality shoes last for many more years than shoes of poor quality. Keep your shoes clean, hydrated and protected. Avoid wearing high heels constantly. Give your shoes a chance to breathe – do not wear the same pair of shoes two days in a row. By doing so, you extend the life of the shoes. You will find everything you need to extend the life of your shoes in your nearest MISTER MINIT shop, where we will be happy to advise you.
