Callus under the second metatarsal head (MTH) has been associated with increased shear stress\/pressure ratios (SPR). Callus under the fifth MTH has been associated with increased peak shear stress (PSS). The purpose of this study is to examine whether the effect of the suitable size and width of shoes prevents diabetic foot ulcers under the second and fifth MTH. We measured the pressure and shear stress by testing three kinds of sizes and two types of width of shoes. Significant difference was not observed in the SPR under the second MTH among different sizes of shoes. However, the pressure and shear stress were significantly lower when putting on shoes of fit size compared with larger sizes. The PSS under the fifth MTH was significantly smaller when putting on shoes of fit width compared with those of narrow width. Wearing shoes of fit size and width has the potential to prevent callus formation by reducing the pressure and shear stress constituting SPR under the second MTH and PSS under the fifth MTH.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s18103269","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,28]],"date-time":"2018-09-28T10:31:28Z","timestamp":1538130688000},"page":"3269","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Examination of the Effect of Suitable Size of Shoes under the Second Metatarsal Head and Width of Shoes under the Fifth Metatarsal Head for the Prevention of Callus Formation in Healthy Young Women"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Ryutaro","family":"Kase","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing Physiology, Graduate School of Nursing, Chiba University, 1-8-1 Inohana, Chuo-ku, Chiba-shi, Chiba 260-8672, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7208-8991","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ayumi","family":"Amemiya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing Physiology, Graduate School of Nursing, Chiba University, 1-8-1 Inohana, Chuo-ku, Chiba-shi, Chiba 260-8672, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rena","family":"Okonogi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing, Hospital of Jichi Medical University Saitama Medical Center, 1-847 Amanuma-cho, Oomiya-ku, Saitama-shi, Saitama 330-8503, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hiroki","family":"Yamakawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nature\u2019s Walk Ltd., 3-2-3 Honcyou, Chuo-ku, Chiba-shi, Chiba 260-0012, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hisayoshi","family":"Sugawara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing Physiology, Graduate School of Nursing, Chiba University, 1-8-1 Inohana, Chuo-ku, Chiba-shi, Chiba 260-8672, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuji L.","family":"Tanaka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing Physiology, Graduate School of Nursing, Chiba University, 1-8-1 Inohana, Chuo-ku, Chiba-shi, Chiba 260-8672, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Masatoshi","family":"Komiyama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing Physiology, Graduate School of Nursing, Chiba University, 1-8-1 Inohana, Chuo-ku, Chiba-shi, Chiba 260-8672, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7208-6435","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Taketoshi","family":"Mori","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Life Support Technology (Molten), Graduate School of Medicine, The University of Tokyo, 7-3-1 Hongo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-0033, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2018, February 20).
