Doctor Smirnova warned about dangerous shoes for health in winter

Tight shoes in the cold season can harm the health of the feet and increase swelling. This was announced on January 8 by Elena Smirnova, a phlebologist at the Yusupov Hospital in Moscow.

According to the expert, when choosing winter shoes, it is important to avoid squeezing the foot and shin.

"The main principle is that shoes should not squeeze the foot and be tight. Strong compression of the foot and lower leg interferes with venous outflow and increases edema," Smirnova explained in an interview with RIA Novosti.

She also noted that both a completely flat sole and too high a heel can be harmful.
