The Secret Behind A Pair Of "Right Shoes"

From birth to adulthood, every move of a child affects his parents' heart. Most parents pay more attention to their children's eyes, teeth and other parts of the body, but ignore important feet. Foot problems, will affect the quality of life of children, parents have to pay attention to!

　　 1、 Feet are the second pair of eyes

"Feet are people's second pair of eyes", which is an important point put forward by Qiu Li, an expert in children's shoes, in an interview with CCTV documentary. When the baby begins to walk, it not only opens up the horizon, but also mobilizes other organs of the body to feel and recognize the world. Unfortunately, more than 30 years of experience in children's shoes made Qiu Li find that: in modern society, children's foot function begins to degenerate due to lack of exercise, and sometimes it is easy to wrestle when the foot steps on a small stone. This is caused by the lack of proprioception.

When Bao Bao first started to walk, he landed on his forefoot. In order to keep pace with the baby's natural walking style, shoes should be designed to promote the development of noumenon, and the sole must be light and thin. In this way, the sole of the foot can better contact and feel everything on the ground, produce enough stimulation to the foot and lower limbs, and the proprioceptive receptors distributed in muscle spindle and tendon spindle will be more sensitive. Baobao has just begun to learn to walk, which is the key period of gait development. Therefore, the design of shoes should be combined with the baby's gait characteristics. On the one hand, it should be able to prevent the occurrence of bad gait, on the other hand, it should have the correction function for congenital bad gait, so that children's body structure can develop in a healthy and reasonable direction.

　 Second, the deep decryption of children's feet is the foundation of shoes

A pair of shoes suitable for baby, only good-looking appearance is absolutely not enough, more importantly, to protect children's feet in development. This requires in-depth study on the physiological characteristics of children's feet and understanding the different characteristics of children's and adults' feet.

70% of children's foot bones are cartilage, and joints, ligaments, arches and nervous system are all in development, which are easy to be damaged; children's foot skin is very thin, only 1 / 3 of that of adults, with strong percutaneous absorption capacity, and harmful chemicals are easy to enter the body through shoes and feet; Children's sweat glands develop vigorously and secrete more colored sweat. If the shoes and socks are airtight, it is easy to have foot odor and tinea pedis.

Children's feet are fat and weak. Toes open, big toe adduction than other four toes, calcaneus narrower. In adults, the plantar fat is reduced, the toe adduction, the metatarsal bone of the big toe is protruding, the curvature of the inside and outside waist is large, and the heel is obvious. Because of the differences between children's feet and adult's feet, children's shoes can't be the miniaturized version of adult's shoes.

　　 3、 Yes, shoes should have a complete function of protecting the foot

First of all, the shoes should be able to bend at the front 1 / 3 and keep straight at the back 2 / 3. Only in this way, when children walk, the arch of the foot will not move disorderly in the shoes and keep stable.

Secondly, the toe should be spacious. The spacious toe can reserve enough space for children's toes to develop and move.

Third, the toe and heel have support function. Hard wrap the toe to protect the child's toes from kicking and bumping; the hard wrapping heel stabilizes the ankle to prevent the small foot from moving in the shoe when the child is walking, which helps the ankle grow straight.

Fourth, the sole has a cushioning function. Qiu Li mentioned in the CCTV children's shoes Documentary: "the road is not for people to repair, but for cars. If the children go out to run for two steps in very thin shoes, a slight concussion is possible Therefore, it is better for parents to choose shoes with cushioning function to avoid the damage of children's bones, joints and brain by shock wave.

CCTV's "craftsman's mind" program broadcast two episodes of special documentaries "make a pair of professional children's shoes" and "children's shoes should not be reduced version", concentrating the importance of children's foot health and how to choose a pair of "right shoes" in a half hour program.

2021, the new year is coming. Hope more parents can pay attention to children's feet, and then better protect the healthy growth of children. Even if the toddler will falter and fall, a pair of shoes will become the "armor" to protect the baby's feet, making him more and more stable.
