On September 17th, a typical day at the clinic involves moving between floors—registering on the first, seeing the doctor on the third, picking up medicine on the fifth, and constantly running up and down with a stack of checklists. It's a common experience for every patient. If you're wearing sneakers, however, the day feels a little more manageable. Yang Chao, a researcher at the Health Science Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, recommends that patients visiting outpatient clinics should wear sports shoes for comfort and practicality.
While writing his book *Seeing a Doctor*, Yang Chao encountered many patients who arrived in high heels. Some had injured their feet while going downstairs, others struggled with complicated footwear that wasted time, and some even removed their shoes to stand or walk barefoot after long waits. He emphasizes that choosing the right shoes can make a big difference during a clinic visit.
First, outpatient visits often require standing for long periods or climbing stairs. Sports shoes are soft and flexible, providing cushioning that reduces fatigue. Second, certain medical tests may require you to take off your shoes. If your shoes are difficult to remove, it can cause delays. Lastly, some patients, such as those with heart conditions or pregnant women, are not suited for high heels. Wearing comfortable sports shoes ensures convenience and ease throughout the day.
To make the most of your footwear, consider these tips:
- Transform old shoes by replacing worn-out soles.
- Don’t throw away old shoes—let them “breathe†by using them for casual outings.
- Add a physical insurance sticker to your shoes for safety.
- Clean matte surfaces gently to maintain their appearance.
- Pair your shoes with breathable, antibacterial socks to prevent bad odors.
- The small tail on sports shoes has hidden functions you might not know about.
- High heels can be noisy—here are four ways to reduce the sound.
- Choose wisely during pregnancy—flat shoes aren't always the safest option.
- What to do if your shoes get moldy?
- Wearing certain shoes in summer could actually harm your feet.
By making small changes in your shoe choices, you can significantly improve your overall hospital experience.
