Baby's shoes choose to learn

Today, in the mall, the baby's shoes are also varied, exquisite, small shoes accompanied by the baby's small clothes and small pants, looks extraordinarily adorable. But do you know that buying baby shoes is very knowledgeable? Don’t just choose the wrong shoes for the baby just to look good.

When the baby is almost 3 years old, the baby's mother finds that the baby is not walking properly: “How like a duck, shake it.” This makes the mother alert and quickly take the baby to check. The doctor said that the baby walks like a duck and is caused by a flat foot.

Some mothers and fathers believe that flat feet are genetic, they do not, how can babies have flat feet? Experts say that in addition to genetics, flat feet are not suitable for the day after tomorrow. Wearing inappropriate shoes and poor posture can also cause flat feet.

Just learning to walk the baby, the ability to walk the lower limb is still relatively weak, if the shoes are not suitable to buy, you can not provide a flat and comfortable stress point for the foot soleplate. In order to support the upper body's gravity, the baby will change the center of gravity when walking. When the foot is subjected to a long period of uneven force, it may cause the arch to collapse and form a flat foot.

Four steps for the baby to pick a pair of good shoes The first step: before you buy a shoe, first measure your baby's foot length and foot width, so that you know what to do. There must be space in front of the shoes to allow the baby's toes to move freely. To ensure that there is a certain distance between the toes and the toes, the length of the shoes is 0.5 to 1 cm longer than the baby's feet. Too big shoes don't follow the feet, so it's easy to walk or walk. Feet; too small, the baby's feet can not open, walking not only easy to pinch his feet, but also affect the development of the foot muscles, ligaments, resulting in the normal development of the arch is blocked.

Step 2: The baby's shoes should have the proper thickness, softness and suitable heel. The soles are too soft to support the soles of the feet, making it easier for the baby to feel tired. The sole is too thick, and it is more difficult to bend. When you walk a few steps, your feet will feel tired. In addition, when the sole is too thick, the height of the heel will also increase, which will undermine the force balance of the foot. The appropriate thickness of the sole is 5 to 10 mm, heel height 6 to 15 mm. The heel should be slightly taller than the arch to accommodate the baby's anatomy. In addition, shoes with slightly higher uppers and slightly raised shoes at the medial side of the sole are more appropriate.

The third step: The comfort of the shoes is also related to the bent part of the sole. Some children's shoes bend in the middle of the shoe, which is not suitable. When the person is walking, the bending part is located at the metatarsophalangeal joint of the forefoot of the foot. Therefore, the more appropriate hardness of the sole is bendable in the front 1/3 of the sole, and is not easily bent in the second 2/3.

Step 4: In addition to choosing a good pair of shoes for your baby, you must also regularly bring your baby to a foot examination to understand the development of the foot and correct bad behavior in time to allow the baby to take a healthy step.
