Outside Reading #5

(Article-life/culture)
In Texas, there are two air line, Southwest and American. Southwest women worker don't have the changed shape of foot, but the American worker women do. Because while Southwest workers wear tennis shoes during work, American workers wear high hills. It made American women workers have the strange shape of foot. There are three different disease about these strange shaped foot. Long time ago, in Korea, they wore the kind of socks called ,'Boe seon', it made their feet shape changed. Their thumb toe side bones pop out. This is called 'hallux valgus'. The women who wear high hills often or naturally have the wide feet, are easy to get one of these kind of disease, 'tailor syndrome'. This is the shape that pinky toe side bones pop out. Other kind is 'brachydactyly', which have the shorter toe than other toes. I didn't know that toe are really important for our health, from now on, we should care about our foot.
