What shoes are suitable for the elderly to wear when traveling?

Pay attention to rest when traveling, especially for the elderly. Because they are all older, there are many places to pay attention to. Here we pay attention to discuss what kind of shoes the elderly should choose and what kind of shoes they should wear when traveling. This is a very important question. Generally speaking, for the elderly, physical condition is not dominant and flexibility is not very strong. Therefore, the elderly must choose a pair of comfortable and safe travel shoes when traveling. Because old people have different hobbies, they should choose according to their own hobbies.

1. What shoes should the elderly wear when traveling?

1, good thermal insulation performance. Keep the foot temperature at 28-32, and feel most comfortable at this time. Below 22, it will affect blood circulation.

2. Good air permeability. The amount of moisture emitted by the feet of the elderly wearing shoes is 12 hours 15-40 grams. If the moisture stays in the shoes for more than 4-5 hours, the wetter the feet, the more heat will be lost, which will easily lead to catching cold.

3. Good anti-skid performance. It is best for the elderly to wear empty shoes, and the upper is not suitable for nylon fabric or artificial leather, and cotton cloth is the best. That kind of "Melaleuca" cloth shoes is better. Overweight old people should pad their heels 2 cm higher, so that since they are light, they can keep their arches.

4. Wear less slippers. Old people who rest indoors for a long time are likely to form the habit of long-term empty slippers, but this habit is more conducive to their health. People usually wear shoes, leather and other heels with a certain curvature, and the soles have a certain height, and their weight is evenly distributed on the soles of their feet, which supports the whole body to carry out various political party activities and keeps the spine naturally bent. However, slippers are mostly flat-bottomed, which leads to uneven distribution of body load on feet and changes the posture of human body and the position of internal organs. After a long time, the arch of the foot may sink slightly, which makes people feel tired and is not conducive to the health of the elderly.

5, to fit. Not too big or too small, avoid wearing high heels or middle heels, and wear soft-soled sports shoes when exercising.

Shoes suitable for the elderly to travel are generally light travel shoes and non-slip shoes, which will help them to travel, reduce the travel burden of elderly tourists, make their travel easier, enrich the travel life of the elderly, and let them fully appreciate the happiness of travel.

2. What should the elderly prepare before going out?

2. 1. Before departure, check whether the communication tools are working properly and pre-store the phone bill.

2.2. Bring some medical supplies. For example, motion sickness drugs, tranquilizers (which can avoid vomiting and dizziness caused by excessive shaking when riding),

Cold medicine (to treat colds caused by climate change and lack of sleep, it is best to carry it without side effects), gastrointestinal dysfunction (travel fatigue and improper diet often cause diarrhea, and taking medicine for diarrhea can prevent gastrointestinal discomfort), digestive medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, musk ointment, band-aid, etc.

2.3, diabetic patients should make special preparations before departure. Bring some foods that can prevent hypoglycemia, such as sugar cubes, fruit juice, soda water, etc. Prepare some snacks, such as biscuits and fruits, for eating by mistake; Wear shoes that are easy to walk on both sides.

3, the elderly travel precautions

3. 1, choose the right season

For the elderly with cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, cold weather is not suitable for traveling, and hot summer is not suitable for the elderly. It is easy to cause heatstroke.

Therefore, the best time should be spring and autumn. It has been suggested that it is the best time for the elderly to travel when bloom is warm in spring and osmanthus is fragrant.

3.2. Choose the right scenic spots.

For the elderly, it is advisable to travel less in mountains, play more in water and visit more classical gardens, because climbing mountains and taking risks are inevitable, and the legs and feet of the elderly are not as good as those of the young. You can visit the West Lake in Zhejiang, Taihu Lake in Wuxi and the classical gardens in Suzhou. These charming scenery can also make you pleasing to the eye and beautiful.

3.3. Go together

Ideally, the old man should go with a young man. So we can take care of each other. In addition, you need to carry crutches with you to help you and ensure safe walking.

3.4. Travel time is moderate

Generally speaking, a week is appropriate. This is because the travel time is too long, the physical exertion is too great, and it is not good for the health, which requires "enough is enough".

4. Is it appropriate for the elderly to wear flat shoes?

Physiologically speaking, when people get old, plantar muscles and ligaments will undergo degenerative aging changes, arch elasticity will be lost, and bearing capacity will be greatly reduced. Obese people are also prone to flat feet. This is also the main reason why the elderly are prone to feel pain in their feet, ankles, knees, hips, waist and other parts when standing or walking for too long. If you wear flat shoes often, it may promote the arch to lose elasticity, which is not conducive to the elderly to carry loads and walk.

Physiologically speaking, heel-less shoes have the largest directional rotation, that is, the worst stability, which easily makes the elderly lose control of their physical stability in a hurry, leading to falls or various injuries to the muscles and ligaments of their feet.

From the perspective of earthquake prevention, wearing flat shoes will also reduce the earthquake resistance of the soles of the elderly. In addition, the function of elastic pads such as spinal disc will decrease, and standing or walking for too long will easily cause dizziness and headache.

Old people should choose shoes with a certain height, ranging from 1.5 cm to 2 cm. Such shoes not only have anti-vibration ability, but also help to maintain the formation of arch. At the same time, this kind of shoes can also limit excessive directional rotation, thus enhancing the stability of activities.
