A valve is a particular type of footwear that consists of a usually wooden or cork sole with or without heel and a (adjustable) crossband over the forefoot or a V-shaped tie between the big toe and the second toe. A valve consists of an inflexible sole and a minimum foot cover, at the foot of the ball. As a consequence, the valve's sole is almost completely detached from the foot sole while walking backwards. Running on valves is therefore accompanied by a clinging noise, hence the name. The term "valpers" includes exercise scales, Japanese can, Indian khadaon and Indonesian bakiak.
A valve is something different than a slipper: slippers usually have a wider belt over the forefoot and additionally have a meekering sole which eliminates the characteristic "flap". A valve is also something different than a bunch: clogs have a wooden sole but the foot cover is not limited to the front foot.
Walking on valves is not always easy. First of all, one must learn to curl the toes at the right moment and relax to keep the valves at their feet; This must become an automatism at some point. Secondly, it must be accepted that walking on valves involves certain limitations: suddenly accelerating and running is a chance of stumbling or losing a valve, reversing or stopping a walk usually involves a lot of trouble. / p>
Exercise sandals were very popular in the 1960s and 70s of the 20th century and were worn by both men and women. They consist of a wooden sole, with or without heel, and an adjustable leather strap over the front foot. Exercise sandals are called so because it is excellent training for the muscles of the lower leg and foot. The sole has a pronounced footbed with an elevation below the toes that is "grasped" during walking. Most people will think about this type of sandal.
