Can skateboarding hurt your feet?
I skate and i have skate shoes but my parents say that they are bad for your feet and im gonna end up with ankle problems. I don't really believe them but im not an expert either. They also say that i shouldn't skate in them which i pay no attention to them on that. I guess the two questions are: Are skate shoes bad for your feet? and (this is more to prove to my parents) Why should i skate in skate shoes and not in regular shoes? if your not a skater don't awnser the second question unless you know about skateboarding.This depends on your arch, and the arch on your skate shoes. I would think that your parents are saying they are bad for your ankles because from the outside, the skate shoes just look flat without arch support. When you don't have the support you need, it can cause pain in the ankle area, but its not the bone itself. The arch of the foot is formed by a tight band of tissue that connects the heel bone to the toes. The tissue of the arch of the foot can becomes irritated and inflamed if your arch doesn't have the support it needs. But the thing is, most skate shoes do have arch support, even though they don't look like it from the outside. So skate shoes are fine for your feet with the right support
