Menopause and the importance of shoes

The shoes with elastic from Modare Ultraconforto are synonymous with self-care, that you can take care of your personal style and, at the same time, the health of your feet.

 

Menopause brings a set of changes that can reflect on women's physical and mental well-being. In particular, certain parts of the body, such as the feet. Generally, the peak of these transformations happens between the ages of 45 and 55 due to hormonal changes and the main one is the fall of estrogen, which plays an essential role in keeping hair healthy, controlling cholesterol, preserving bone density, and balancing energy. As a consequence, it affects the production of collagen, which also promotes the health of bones, muscles, ligaments, and tendons (it is worth remembering that we have many of them, located precisely in the feet and ankles).

With less estrogen and collagen in the body, there is a decrease in the elasticity of tendons and skin, for example. This can lead to pain in the joints of the feet, in addition to the shape becoming wider due to the imbalance in the musculature, and the loss of the feeling of "padding", which is naturally protective and perceived when we walk barefoot. This is where appropriate footwear and physical activities come into play, making the difference for you to experience this phase in a safe and cozy way, with the right to insert in your agenda that little visit to the podiatrist or even invest in other self-care practices in your own home.

 

Shoes with elastic are synonymous with well-being

According to estimates published by IBGE, Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, 27.9% of the female population in Brazil is between the climacteric (transition period until menopause) and menopause. And, increasingly interested in these issues, women are prioritizing foot care.

So, try to include in your routine shoes that feature cushioning technologies and that support the arches - especially for those who have plantar fasciitis (another condition that can develop, since the drop in estrogen affects the elasticity of the tissue that connects the heel bone to the toes) - and have low/blocked heels. They are also good choices for women with metatarsalgia - responsible for pain in the long bones (metatarsals) of the metatarsal region (usually in the sole, in the front of the foot, where we rest on the ground). Get on board with this experience also accompanied by options with a square toe and structured designs that ensure immediate comfort.

And to elevate your convenience, the tip of Modare Ultraconforto are the shoes with elastic bands. They are the perfect definition of authentic comfy fashion: they provide easy and functional fitting while putting the well-being of the feet first. The selection below highlights contemporary and versatile designs, starting with the Reflex Sense insole with Gel Tech technology (cushioning impacts during walking). And two suggestions for casual sandals, one with wedge heels and the other with a flat sole - both have a Dry Tech insole that absorbs moisture. To top off your looks, a shoulder bag with the soft touch of quilting to carry the items you need for your routine.
