A new study claims that the cheap version of UGGs are breaking women’s feet!
According to Dr. Ian Drysdale, head of the British College of Osteopathic Medicine, says:
“Because these boots are warm and soft, young girls think they are giving their feet a break. In fact, they are literally breaking their feet. Their feet are slipping around inside. With each step, the force falls towards the inside of the foot, and the feet splay. This flattens the arch and makes it drop. The result can be significant problems with the foot, the ankle, and ultimately, the hip.”
Podiatrists and chiropractors blame the boots for an alarming rise in toe deformities and back pain.
Apparently, women should splurge on the brand-name UGGs because they have the reinforced heels and insoles that prevent such issues.
Will U toss your knockoffs, ladies?!
