Why Does Playing Basketball Make My Feet Scratched?

If you love to play basketball, do you have such troubles: Running blisters is a common practice for any impact sports, especially basketball, constant running, and jumping can put a lot of pressure on the feet. My friend Brett went to play basketball last weekend and went back to find the big toe of the foot at night. Worn out, so I can only lie at home on weekends, Brett told me that I felt a little pain when playing basketball, and it was not so comfortable, but in order not to spoil everyone, I had to hold back. But if he were a professional basketball player, the situation would likely interrupt his training schedule and affect game-day performance. In addition to the hot weather recently, it is easy to sweat when playing, especially since the feet sometimes slip easily, wear toes, and have hidden dangers of injury. So how to effectively avoid it? Come see it with me below.

Why do basketball shoes hurt my feet?

Because of all the jumps and landings, the high impact of a basketball is rough on your feet. If it's brand new or if it's a basketball shoe that's tied too tightly, you're likely to injure your foot. If they're too big for your feet, the skin on the top of your feet can easily blister from the constant rubbing of your feet as you exercise. Some people who exercise vigorously also develop blisters on the soles of their feet.

Effective ways to help you solve your problems:

①If they are new shoes, please make sure the shoes you are wearing fit your feet, don't rush to exercise, and give them time to adjust to your feet, otherwise, it will cause blisters. To prevent foot injury, make sure to wear shoes with plenty of shock absorption. Foot injuries can affect not only your ability to play basketball but also your ability to walk. Therefore, if you feel pain, please see your doctor promptly.

②Using shoe braces as a last resort may seem odd, but they might work wonders for basketball players in a pinch. For example, let's say someone surprises you with a new pair of basketball shoes as a gift before the season starts. A shoe rack can help you get your new shoes on in a few days.
