Nota Bene Shoe |
These shoes look
almost identical on the outside; their silhouettes are very similar.
But on the inside. . . |
Notice:
-
Wide angles of joint deformity
in toes (red)
-
Toes buckled – shoe
is too shallow and compresses 1st joint down/inward and 2nd joint
up and back where there is more room (yellow)
-
Toes compressed – no
space between flesh pads (blue)
-
Torsion
of metatarsals compromises arch function (green)
|
Notice:
-
Narrow angles of joint deformity
-
Toes extended
-
Adequate space between toes; less compression
of flesh pads
-
Minimal torsion of metatarsals (on same heel
height) maintains the proper arch position and function
