Did you know, according to the American Council on Exercise, the average city-dwelling person takes between 5,000 to 10,000 steps each day? This equates to walking around the earth 3 times in a lifetime! However, the natural design of our feet was never intended for our modern lifestyle. 

Hard concrete and contemporary footwear constrict and deform the natural shape of our feet causing a variety of painful foot ailments such as bunions (hallux valgus), splayfoot, flat feet, heel spurs and many others. 

To combat the daily stress caused on our feet, we need physical cushioning and support within our shoes to help and support a healthy lifestyle so that we can walk free as the years go on. Take a look at some of the most commonly developed foot conditions to see how INFINIRI socks can help care for your feet.

SPLAY FOOT

SPLAY FOOT

Splay Foot represents the spreading of the metatarsal bones, which causes the arch of the foot to slowly disappear. Not only can this create crookedness in the foot, but is usually accompanied by painful, callused protrusions. 

Splay Foot is the most common foot deformity and often occurs in women who wear high heels and professionals wearing ill-fitting business shoes which can evolve into future bunion conditions (Hallux Valgus).  

Here's why you should wear INFINIRI health socks:

  • A supporting effect on the stressed arch of the foot.
  • Active support and compression around the metatarsal bones to prevent outward spreading and reduce pressure.
  • Soft cushioning absorbs pressure peaks.
  • The socks can have a preventative effect on future Bunions (Hallux valgus).

FLAT FOOT

FLAT FOOT

Flat Foot, also known as Pes Planus, is a complete loss of the arch of the foot. This “fallen arch” causes the foot to make contact with the surface when standing and can turn the ankles inwards.

Flat foot is most common in children, female adults and overweight individuals. With such uneven distribution of weight, this foot ailment can change an individual's posture and lead to further injuries in the knees, hips and back. 

Here's why you should wear INFINIRI health socks:

  • Cushioning and active support of the arch of the foot to prevent downward collapse.
  • Pressure points on the forefront, rearfoot and the resulting callus formation can be counteracted. 
  • Built-in compression around the forefoot enhances and stabilises the active arch support.

Hallux Valgus

Hallux Valgus

Bunions, also known as Hallux Valgus, are the most common foot deformity. A bunion occurs most often in individuals with flat feet, hammer toes, the elderly and adult women.  

Bunions make everyday walking activities painful and can significantly affect functionality and mobility if not treated.

Here's why you should wear INFINIRI health socks:

  • The angle of the metatarsal bone is normalised and prevents further spreading of the bone.
  • The pressure on the big toe is reduced towards the other toes.
  • The direction of pull of the attached muscles is reduced and helps prevent the big toe from pulling outwards.

METATARSALGIA

METATARSALGIA

As we age, our natural foot pad tends to thin out, making it much more sensitive to pressure and pain. When this happens, we are at risk of developing metatarsalgia. 

Metatarsalgia affects the ball of the foot, causing it to become painful and inflamed when pressure is applied. Those at risk of developing metatarsalgia include runners and athletes, though it also occurs in individuals who wear shoes that are too tight or too loose such as business shoes or high-heels. Supporting the foot with INFINIRI’s shock-absorbing socks is the best way to minimise or prevent future problems with metatarsalgia. 

Here's why you should wear INFINIRI health socks:

  • They cushion the stressed area of the foot.
  • They support the front arch of the foot to balance the load over the entire area to relieve and redistribute pressure.
  • They can be worn with fine narrow shoes and high-heeled shoes.

MORTON NEUROMA

MORTON NEUROMA

Morton’s Neuroma is a condition that affects the nerves of the foot, specifically within the ball of the foot and toes. 

The entrapped nerves can cause pain and numbness across the foot, which many liken to walking while having a pebble or stone in their shoe, and in more severe conditions, like walking on razor blades.  

Here's why you should wear INFINIRI health socks:

  • The splay foot pad supports the front arch of the foot.
  • The biomechanics of the toes normalise. 
  • Pads help balance the load over the entire foot and relieve the metatarsal heads through the redistribution of pressure.

PLANTAR HEEL PAIN

PLANTAR HEEL PAIN

Plantar heel pain (PHP) affects the lower limbs and is one of the most common foot ailments, usually affecting runners and sedentary individuals from around 40-60 years old. If PHP is left untreated, it can impact an individual's quality of life greatly, making everyday walking and strenuous task. 

Here's why you should wear INFINIRI health socks:

  • Immediate pressure relief on the heel. 
  • No additional bandages or loose or glued-in foot pads are necessary, allowing the entire foot greater mobility.
  • They make standing and walking for long periods easier and more manageable.

HEEL SPUR

HEEL SPUR

Heel Spur is caused by long-term stress on the foot muscles, usually occurring when a bony outgrowth forms on the heel of the bone. Most heel pain sufferers are middle-aged adults and overweight individuals and the pain is a response to the inflammation caused. 

Here's why you should wear INFINIRI health socks:

  • They make standing and walking for long periods and sporting activities easier.
  • Supportive relief of the inflamed tissue around the bony outgrowth.
  • They offer the entire foot greater mobility.

PLANTAR FASCIITIS

PLANTAR FASCIITIS

Plantar Fasciitis occurs when the band of tissue that supports the arch of the foot (Plantar Fascia) becomes irritated and inflamed. 

Plantar Fasciitis is often caused by overuse of the muscle that can occur during repetitive exercise or strain. Those often at risk are usually runners and active working adults between the ages of 25 and 65 years old. 

Here's why you should wear INFINIRI health socks:

  • The built-in compression will reduce the tension in the sole of the foot.
  • The splay foot pad supports the arch of the foot and acts as a gentle stretching device for the Plantar Fascia.
  • Socks are unobtrusive and provide immediate therapeutic benefits.

MORTON’S TOE

MORTON’S TOE

Morton’s Toe occurs when the second toe projects out further than the big toe. However, unlike other mentioned foot ailments, Morton’s toe is hereditary.

Unfortunately, this genetic deformity can eventually cause many aches and pains in the foot and cause an uneven distribution of weight around the general area. 

Here's why you should wear INFINIRI health socks:

  • The pads help balance the load of the entire foot by redistributing pressure. 
  • The soft forefoot and heel cushions of the socks have an immediate cushioning effect on the toes.
  • They allow the entire foot greater mobility without being obtrusive.

ANKLE AND FOOT ARTHROPATHIES

ANKLE AND FOOT ARTHROPATHIES

Arthropathy is a general term that covers any disease of the foot and ankle joints. 

Individuals suffering from ankle and foot arthropathies will likely encounter joint pain, swelling, and stiffness of the ankle. These symptoms usually increase during long periods of standing, walking or running. 

Here's why you should wear INFINIRI health socks:

  • The soft forefoot and heel cushions of the socks have an immediate cushioning effect on the joints. 
  • Pain prevention due to support of the foot in the correct posture.
  • They allow the entire foot greater mobility without being obtrusive.

HALLUX RIGIDUS

HALLUX RIGIDUS

Hallux Rigidus (or Hallux Limitus) is a condition that reduces the range of motion in the big toe due to the wearing of the cartilage. As this cartilage wears, the bone begins to rub against bone (Osteoarthritis), causing pain, stiffness and loss of motion.

Here's why you should wear INFINIRI health socks:

  • The soft forefoot padding takes the pressure off the big toe while walking.
  • The splayfoot pad supports the front arch of the foot and provides pain relief.
  • They povide preventative therapeutic benefits.
