Recently, parents often ask what kind of shoes they should buy for their children. Have you chosen the right shoes for your baby? Don't wait until your baby's arch has problems and then regret not understanding it earlier. How should shoes be chosen at different stages。The editor will give you scientific knowledge. 🌱
🌈Four major misunderstandings in shoe selection
01 Children's feet grow fast, choose a larger size?
When children walk in oversized shoes, their feet are not well fixed, and it is difficult to grasp the center of gravity, which will affect the correct posture of activities and walking. Parents can choose loose shoes for their children but the feet will not move inside. In addition, do not let children wear shoes that hit the top of their feet, otherwise it will be detrimental to the development of foot muscles and ligaments. The best shoes are those that can fit a toe after wearing the shoes. Because children grow fast, it is best to change a pair of shoes every 3 months.
02 The softer the sole, the better?
When some mothers choose shoes for their children, they give priority to shoes with high softness and feel comfortable to wear. This is okay for babies who are just learning to walk, but when the child walks normally, shoes that are too soft are not suitable. Because the child's joints and ligaments are in the development stage, but the balance ability is not strong. If the shoes are too soft, the feet cannot be fixed and supported, and it is easy to sway left and right when walking, which will not only develop a bad walking posture, but also may sprain the ankle. The hardness of the soles of shoes for children should be selected according to age.
03 Let children wear second-hand shoes
Every child has a different foot shape and walking posture. Second-hand shoes may cause children's feet to deform and even affect their walking posture. Because the soles of second-hand shoes have poor elasticity, they cannot effectively buffer the impact of the ground on the soles of the feet, thus affecting the development of the arch of the foot. Second-hand shoes may also contain bacteria and fungi, which are easy to infect children.
04 Pursue fashion and choose fashionable styles
Some parents like to pursue fashion when buying shoes for their children, and let their children wear high heels, snow boots, etc. too early. Fashionable styles are beautiful, but they may not be suitable for children's feet. For example, high heels can cause abnormal foot development. Some shoes such as shouting shoes and flashing shoes will divert children's attention, making them only look down at the shoes, ignoring walking balance, which is easy to cause danger. When buying shoes for children, you should not only pay attention to the appearance of the shoes, but also pay attention to the quality of the shoes, and avoid buying low-quality shoes with strong odors.
