Choosing the right pair of shoes at the right time is not always easy. To help you, advantages makes the turn of the more and the less concerning the flip-flops, ballerinas, sneakers and other pumps!

• Thong

? Least: The lack of protection and its form. As the foot contracts continuously to remain solid with the sole, muscle and joint pain appear at the end of summer.

? The most: The foot comes out (finally) from its narrow prison.

? When? Never the whole day. We put them for an aperitif with friends. But not on the sand where the difficult walk brings about formidable muscular contractions.

• The compensated

? The least: Aesthetically, it makes big feet and sometimes weighs the gait.

? The most: This is the best way to gain centimeters: the sole is stable despite the altitude because the bearing surface is more important.

? When? Every time you feel the urge to wear heels.

The basketball

? Least: The front of the foot sags and widens. By atrophying, the plantar (natural shock) causes pain in the knees and ankles. In high doses, one can fear transpiration, then maceration and, finally, mycoses.

? The most: One is ultra comfortable.

? When? As soon as you have to walk a bit or the weekend to change.

The ballerina

? Least : Too flat, it erases the physiological camber of our back and does not mass the arch of the foot to favor the venous return.

? Most: Elegant, but only when the legs are very thin.

? When? The time of a day or an afternoon of shopping but not in daily shoe, unless they have a heel of 2 cm and a sufficiently covering tip. One can opt for babies, with their bridle holding their foot.

• The needle heel

? Least: One is unbalanced, and one moves the weight of the body on the front of the foot. In the long run, the calf muscles retract and it becomes impossible to wear flat shoes without pain.

? Plus: It's an infinite elegance.

? When? The time of a fairly static evening. And preferably with models that fit well the foot.
