Ian Medmott, an expert in plastic surgery at London Bridge Hospital in the United Kingdom, said that the internal and external materials of snow boots are relatively soft, and the space inside the shoes is large, so it is easy to slide inside the shoes when wearing the hind feet; When stepping, the arch of the foot is greatly impacted, which will cause damage to the feet, ankles and buttocks.
Snow boots can't provide enough support for the arch, and they are more likely to appear when walking. Experts call this gait "UGG step". UGG steps can lead to premature joint wear. This bad posture will damage the cartilage of the knee joint, and the patella is more likely to dislocate, so the doctor has to readjust the position of the patella during treatment.
Wearing snow boots for a long time is also harmful to the knees. According to the British "Daily Mail" report, Medmot warned that wearing snow boots for a long time would increase the risk of knee problems and even require surgery in severe cases.
