Hello everyone. It's
been a long time since I last wrote a post in my blog. Today I'm going to share
my views on Medical Shoes. Yes! Medical Shoes.
I got a question
from my friend, "What is Medical Shoes?"
My reply was simple,
"Medical Shoes are Shoes designed for the benefit of our body”
To explain this in a
simple way, Medical Shoes was shoes designed to fit the natural shape of our
feet and it supports our body perfectly without extra burden and stress to our
feet. These shoes are graded as Medical Shoes because they are approved by the
American Podiatric Medical Association. Not all shoes are given this “grade” as
Medical Shoes.
Now, how did I get
exposure to this Medical Shoes? Well, all these while I had this problem with
my back, where I just couldn’t stand straight. Because, when I tried to stand
straight, my back ache a lot and I just bent my back and walked in a hunched
position. I felt more comfortable this way. I had many feedbacks from people around
me that I needed to walk straight. Few years back, I had met a Acupuncture
Sensei and did an X-ray of my back, he said that my back had < 20 degree “scoliosis”.
I couldn’t find a right diagnosis for this as I did not see an orthopaedic
surgeon. So the Sensei said nothing to be done for me as the degree was very
little.

As the years go, my
back problem became more prominent. I could not sit and stand straight; I
needed to hunch all the time. When I tried sitting straight while breastfeeding
my baby, my back hurt so so much. One day, my ex-BF’s mother saw me at a
function. She commented that my back was terrible. I was very hunched. She said
I was very young to have such problem and I should get my back fixed immediately.
So she introduced me to her “healthy shoes” which I was not sure of the brand,
and whether it was a certified Medical Shoes. Her shoes were priced at RM3000++
and both my mum and I were shocked with the price.
My brother was
working in Pharmacy and after hearing us talking about the “high-end” healthy
shoes, he suggested us to check out “MediFeet” Medical Shoes which are sold in
his Pharmacy as well. We got contact to a Sales Rep for this MediFeet Shoes and
we went to see her the next day. My mum and I had different problems. She had
knee pain and heel pain while I had back pain and poor posture, and we hope to
get some advice on the shoes.
The lady was very
kind and she selected a few pairs of shoes catered to our problems. She said
different orthopaedic problems require different shoes and thus, my shoes are
only be worn by me. Because my mother wanted to get the same pair of shoes like
mine, but when she wore it, she was not comfortable as the shoes are not
catered for knee problem.
The service given by
the sales rep was fantastic. She gave long explanation of the importance of
wearing medical shoes at young age - because Medical Shoes protect the natural
arch of our feet, and when the feet are in correct position, it supports the
whole structure of our legs, up till the spine, protecting the natural curve of
the spine as well. She was very angry with the fact that the Acupuncture Sensei
advised me not to do anything when the X-ray showed slight scoliosis of my
back.
She selected two
shoes with high arch to support my back and also1 pair of sandals to correct
the “26 bones” of my feet. She said that when the bones of our feet are in
right position, it can support the weight of our body properly.
Medifeet shoes have
many key features and to me, the main thing that made me bought these shoes
were, I felt immediate effect after wearing them in front of the sales rep. I
could walk and stand straight without having the pain. This was very immediate
effect. I was amazed with the shoes. Immediately, I bought 3 pairs. I had worn
MediFeet shoes and sandals for 1 month and I got some comments from my
colleagues that my posture now looks better. I personally feel better because
there was no more pain to my back after walking for a long time in these
MediFeet Shoes. It was comfortable, suitable for work and for travelling. I
wore the Swago Blue for travelling and I had no problem with my back or feeling
very tired of walking. It was amazing.

My mum bought two
pairs and it was very good on her too. She gave me her review of the shoes as
well. She wore the medical sandals for 1 month now; she had no problem of
numbness to her legs anymore.
I do not like to
review too much on the key features of the shoes because these are the cosmetic
features of the shoes which you will know when you see and wear it. But what I
am trying to share here are that these shoes are really beneficial for us,
specially designed for walking, good posture and pain free body. What I am
sharing here are based on my own personally experience after wearing the medical
shoes.
I wanted to
highlight that wear Medical Shoes gave a lot of benefit to us because it helps
to maintain the arch of our feet, and next it maintains the right structure of
our legs, and back. With this, it sheds of the force from our heavy body to our
knee and feet.
Do you notice that
when you wear flat shoes, hard plastic covered shoes and heels, your feet will
feel extremely painful even just after few hours or walking or simply standing.
This is because these shoes are not designed for our health. It’s for beauty
purpose and we suffer to look beautiful.
But with MediFeet,
you can wear comfortably without having to wear “old-fashioned” looking shoes. You
can look modern, stylish and love your feet at the same time with MediFeet. Please
take note that MediFeet Shoes are not just for people with problems only, but
also for those who want to prevent future problems to their feet, knee or back,
they can wear them too.
