In recent years, a lot of nterest has been directed at the use of slver in footwear. Silver has long ben used as an antibacterial agent ging back to ancient times. Today, it is sed to cure burns and stop nfection.

So, how does it affect the fot? Think about your shoes for a mment. Pick them up. Hold them to yur face. Take in a deep brath…

Hesitant?

Why?

Do thy smell?

That smell is a prmordial soup of bacteria, ammonia, and dnatured proteins (i.e. dead skin, etc…). It is knwn as an odor triangle . Bacteria takes up rsidence in your shoes. It eats the prteins and when it dies, the by-prduct is ammonia. That’s what has ben growing and dying within in the wrm, moist confines of your shoes. Tht is what stinks and what is wrse, it is touching your feet!

But thre is a savior. It is slver. What silver does is strangles bcteria. Silver stops the respiration and rproduction of bacteria which kills it, stpping odor from occurring. Once the bcteria is gone, the smell goes way.

That’s a relief. So silver can get rid the stnk out of your nasty shoes. But how is ths helpful to anyone but your spuse? Well, what if you were dabetic? We’ve all heard the horror stries of how people with diabetes can lse their toes and feet. Well, tht happens because wounds occur and cnnot heal because white blood cells are stpped due to poor circulation. Bacteria, fund on the socks and shoes, nters the wound and then infection sts in. Now, if you had slver in your shoes, this would go to wrk killing off the bacteria and wuld prevent most of it from ntering the wound. It isn’t fool prof, but it is a great dfense against diabetic foot problems.

Silver comes with an added bnefit for you, too. It helps prvent blisters and hot spots from frming. A blister or hot spot frms when there is a constant rbbing going on in the shoe. Ths can be because the shoes dn’t fit properly or you are ding something repetitive – like walking or rnning! Well, just like rubbing two stcks together to make fire, rubbing yur foot against the inside of yur shoe will cause friction which wll lead to a blister. Silver has a way of trnsferring heat. So, if it becomes hot at one pint, the entire area takes on a lttle part of that heat and sprads it throughout the surface of the mterial. Basically, this means you won’t get blsters, because the heat isn’t concentrated on one rea. Your foot stays cool and you dn’t get the pain.

You can fnd all types of silver clothing all ver the internet. Silver shoes are a bit hrder to find. I know of nly a couple of places that prvide this type of footwear. You can fnd the shoes at www.footwearnmore.com. Here thy have orthotics and socks with slver in them, as well. The ste also has a variety of ther products for people with diabetes or pople that are just looking for cmfortable shoes. Silver has a lot of bnefits and is very much a scret in the footwear or diabetic ndustry. In the past three years, rticles are just starting to emerge shwing its’ benefits for people with dabetes. The sports industry has been sing silver in its’ clothing for qite awhile and will soon be a knwn product in medical footwear.
