People's life can not be separated from the movement of footsteps. Once walking problems occur, it will affect the quality of life.

Scientific research has found that although the weight and height are growing, the underdeveloped children still have lower limb bearing capacity. If the shoes are not properly purchased, they can not provide a flat and comfortable point for the foot floor. In order to support the weight of the upper body, the child will change the center of gravity when walking.

The uneven force of the foot plate is the root cause of the deformity of bone development. The most typical bone deformation is the formation of the flat foot.

The normal sole plate has a raised arch, which plays an indispensable role in maintaining the balance of movement and ensuring athletic ability.

Flat feet are also called flat feet. As the name suggests, the foot is too flat and the arch is too low.

The incidence of flat feet is directly proportional to body weight, and is also inversely proportional to the time of physical exercise. In addition to children with congenital flat feet, with the enrichment of material life, obese children are gradually increasing, and the incidence of acquired diseases is also increasing.

The examination can be done at home: Barefoot immersed in water, and then wet feet on the hard board covered with white paper, step down the footprint, print the foot type along the imprint, and examine the arch.

If the contact area between the footprint and the cardboard is too large, it is a symbol of flat foot.

The ratio of arch width to the narrowest width of normal foot print is 2:1, the ratio of mild flat foot is 1:1, the ratio of moderate flat foot is 1:2, there is no blank area in severe cases, while 2:1 is a high arch.

In view of this, children with flat feet need to make special flat feet insoles or shoes for their shoes when buying shoes. Most of the medical centers in the country can provide such services.

In addition, children with a higher body weight index should be cautious about choosing shoes. Apart from being soft and solid, close to the sole plate, it is better to put a foot pad on the sole.

Knowing the foot shape of the child and choosing the right shoes for him is very important to ensure the health of the child.

So how should we choose a pair of shoes suitable for children?

When you buy shoes, you usually choose afternoon or evening, because after a day's activities, your feet will slightly expand in the afternoon, especially those who are energetic and full of activities.

You might as well wear worn shoes, because good salesmen can see a lot of problems from the wear and tear of old shoes, understand the way children walk, and choose a suitable pair of shoes.

Good children's shoes are not too high in the heel and sole parts. The bottom of the plastic shoes should be smooth and comfortable. The bottom of the leather shoes should be slightly curved along the lines of the soles of the feet, while the sneakers need to be breathable and durable to avoid being too heavy or too thick.

After you wear your shoes, let your child move your toes in place, walk a few steps back and forth to tell you whether you feel comfortable or not, and then press the front of your shoes to see if there is any activity gap between your toes and shoes. Apart from the length of your shoes, the width is also the detail that parents should pay attention to.

Inappropriate shoes can not be forced to wear, because the child is in the stage of growth and development, the rule of "centripetal development" determines the fastest growth of hands and feet, so children's shoes should normally be replaced in about 3~5 months.

At the same time, activity walking is the most important thing for physical development. Even if the frequency of replacement is faster, it can not be cheaply and perfunctory. The material, shape, height and weight of shoes will affect the growth of children's feet.
