专家："洞洞鞋"不宜久穿
Here's What Podiatrists Think About Your Crocs
Love them or hate them, Crocs — the rubber clogs that started out in 2002 as boater-floaters for Jimmy Buffett types in Florida but have now sold more than 300 million pairs in 90 countries — are here to stay.
卡洛驰于2002年创建在佛罗里达,当时是为划船运动而生产的吉米•巴菲特式的轻便橡胶鞋.而无论你喜欢还是讨厌,这些鞋已经在90个国家售出了三亿多双——它已经扎稳了根基.
Treasured for their comfort, rubberiness and floatability, they're equally popular with toddlers and Mario Batali.
人们喜爱卡洛驰洞洞鞋的舒适、有弹性和轻便,学步的小孩和马里奥•巴塔利都很喜欢.
"They are great at the dog park or in the backyard where I am likely to step in something that is very difficult to clean off sneakers but comes off easily with a hose or a wipe from my clogs," one wearer writes in an Amazon review.
一位用户在亚马逊评论里写道："在狗公园或后院里穿着它们非常棒,在那些地方我很有可能踩上什么东西,如果穿运动鞋就很难洗掉,但是用软管冲洗或擦拭洞洞鞋就会很容易清理掉."
Fair.
还算不错.
"Great protection for toes and great to lounge around. Also great for travel in tropics with aquatic activities," another says.
"能很好地保护脚趾,很适合闲逛.去热带地区旅游做水上运动也特别好,"另外一个人说.
Good points,all.
观点很好,确实.
Crocs are affordable, and at this point, classic ... but what do podiatrists — you know, actual doctors who want you to live your best life — think about them?
洞洞鞋价格实惠,实惠的同时又比较经典……但是足病医生们——你知道那些真正希望你生活得最好的医生们,怎么想它们吗？
They're not fans — at least not the doctors we spoke with.
他们不是狂热者——起码与我们谈话的医生们不是.
"Unfortunately Crocs are not suitable for all-day use," Dr. Megan Leahy, a Chicago-based podiatrist with the Illinois Bone and Joint Institute, told HuffPost. While she granted that they "offer nice arch support," she added that the real reason you shouldn't wear them over long periods of time is that "these shoes do not adequately secure the heel. When the heel is unstable, toes tend to grip which can lead to tendinitis, worsening of toe deformities, nail problems, corns and calluses. The same thing can happen with flip flops or any backless shoes as the heel is not secured."
