Back pain: your shoes could be the cause

Back pain affects more than 80% of adults at some point in their lives. Stress, sitting at work, or poor posture are often blamed. However, one cause is too often overlooked: our feet and the shoes we wear every day .

👣 Back pain and feet: a direct link

Our feet are the foundation of our body. They carry our weight, absorb shock, and directly influence our posture.

• Poorly supported feet lead to poor alignment of the knees, hips and spine .

• This imbalance creates long-term muscular and joint tension which results in lower back pain.

👉 In short: poorly supported feet = a back that suffers.

👠 Unsuitable shoes: a danger for your back

Some shoes accentuate these problems instead of correcting them.

High heels

• Shifts the center of gravity forward.

• Hollow the lower back (hyperlordosis).

• Promotes lower back pain.

Flat and thin shoes

• Lack arch support.

• Cause the foot to collapse.

• Cause joint pain and tension in the back.

Stiff or too narrow shoes

• Limit the natural movement of the foot.

• Increase stress on knees and lower back.
