National Standards For Children'S Shoes Will Be Published (I)

At present, due to children's sneakers and children's Sandals There is no national standard for children's shoes, and the quality of children's shoes in the market is uneven. Some enterprises even follow the adult standard to produce children's shoes. According to relevant parties, the National Technical Committee for Shoe Manufacturing Standardization has proposed to declare the standard project plan of Children's Sneakers and Children's Sandals, which means that the national standard for children's shoes is in the process of brewing.

There are some mistakes in consumers' shopping

In a brand of children's products store, the shopping guide showed the softness of shoes to customers. A young mother selected the softest pair from several alternative children's shoes, which is very common.

"In fact, the soles of children's shoes should not be too soft. Children are at the stage of bone development. Too soft soles are bad for their foot health. Foreign countries have high requirements for the hardness of children's shoes." Chen Shuqing, a domestic child brand expert, told reporters. Chen Shuqing has been acting as an agent for more than ten Quanzhou brand children's shoes enterprises, such as Qibohui, Camel and Yonggaoren, for many years. He analyzed that the softness of children's shoes in the market is still very common. Many parents are in the wrong zone of purchasing children's shoes. They think that the softer the children's shoes are, the better. In order to meet the market demand, children's shoes manufacturers have deviated in their production direction.

The reporter visited the children's shoes counters in major shopping malls in the urban area and found that, as Chen Shuqing said, children's shoes with large soles are favored by consumers. Most customers pay more attention to the softness of uppers and uppers when shopping for children's shoes.

The insiders said that in addition to the strong demand for "soft" in the market, the improper selection of rubber and filler in the outsole rubber formula of some children's shoes enterprises is also one of the main reasons for this phenomenon. In order to reduce costs and reduce the content of rubber in the entire formula, individual enterprises will also cause soft outsoles of children's shoes products.

Chen Shuqing believes that, from a technical perspective, shoes with high softness have poor wear resistance. But in this regard, there is no national standard, which makes children's shoe enterprises at a loss.

Proposed national standard project plan

Xie Jiasheng, director of Quanzhou Office of Fujian Footwear Industry Association, told reporters that due to the lack of national standards for children's shoes, some children's shoes enterprises were helpless when they were tested by the testing department. According to the current standards, it is not possible to produce comfortable children's shoes suitable for the physiological characteristics of children's feet. Some enterprises have formulated their own standards with relevant units, but these standards are not recognized by the testing department, children's shoes The phenomenon of unqualified detection occurs repeatedly.
