A scientist explained the dangers of trendy sneakers with balls in the sole.
In Russia, trendy sneakers have hit the market, featuring foam balls embedded in the sole. Vladislav Nikitin, an associate professor at the Department of Computational Mathematics, Mechanics, and Biomechanics at Perm Polytechnic, explained to the agency "URA.RU" the risks associated with wearing such footwear.
The manufacturer of the sneakers promises a unique comfort experience for the feet. However, according to Nikitin, they can be harmful to people with musculoskeletal disorders or foot arch issues, exacerbating existing problems and causing new ones.
People without foot problems should still wear such shoes with caution, the scientist believes.
The mobility of the sole stimulates nerve endings in the foot, and constant stimulation can lead to overloading the nervous system.
According to the interviewee from "URA.RU," to stimulate the nerve endings, it is not necessary to buy fashionable sneakers; it is enough to purchase a hedgehog-shaped ball and roll it under the foot.
This likely refers to the experimental Mind line from the manufacturer Nike. According to open sources, the new product is marketed as footwear that impacts mental abilities. Reportedly, the sneakers feature 22 movable foam nodules that gently stimulate the foot with each step, activating the brain.
