This year, Fujian and Shanghai Quality Supervision Bureaus have found substandard products in the quality sampling inspection of children's shoes.
According to statistics:91% of children wear shoes inappropriately, and 83% of ** have the problem of not paying enough attention to children's shoes.
0-6 years old is a critical period for foot development, and wearing ill-fitting shoes can lead to the appearance of childrenFoot deformities such as flat feet, varus, and O-shaped legs.
According to the monitor installed in your home, many parents have a few shoes in the Double 12 shopping cart that are not suitable for the baby.
Snow boots with poor design
Snow boots are easy to put on and take off, no need to tie shoes, and can be put on with a kick, which is warmly sought after by parents, but it also has a lot of unreasonable places.

The inside of the snow boots seems to be hairy and thick, but the space inside the shoes is closed and easySweating and bacteria can breed, which can lead to bad feet and athlete's foot.
In addition, snow boots are generally more fat, and it is very comfortable to sit still feet in themHowever, action can not protect and support the baby's ankles, and "do not follow the feet", many babies will procrastinate and walk, and develop incorrect walking habits.
After wearing for a long time, the hair inside the shoe is easy to be flattened, and the space inside the shoe increasesInability to hold your baby's feet in their shoes.
The toe cap and heel are softerIt cannot protect the ankle well, and it is easy to break the foot, causing ankle joint and ligament damage.
The sole is too flat,It does not conform to the ergonomic design and cannot support the arch of the foot, which will lead to flat feet, damage to the muscles and ligaments of the plantar foot, and even "inner figure-eight".
Platform cotton shoes
If the sole is too thick, the body's control over the ankle joint will be greatly weakened, and it will be difficult for the ankle joint to maintain stability and balance.
In this way, it will not only be more difficult to walk, but also easy to stumble.

And the thickness of the sole corresponds to the hard sole, and the first third of the sole is not easy to bend, which is easy to make the baby feel difficult to walk, and it is not conducive to movement and bending, affecting the child's sports experience.
In general,The thickness of the baby's sole should be 05 -1 cm is best, try not to exceed 2 cm.
Boots
Boots are indeed an artifact for going out on the street, and walking outside makes enough money to turn heads.
Scientific Family Parenting Original.
Adults can feel tired when they walk for hours in boots, let alone children whose feet are not well developed.
In order to maintain the shape, the material of the boots is generally hard, even if it is soft materials such as suede and deerskin, the ankle needs to be designed to be stiff and tight, which is causedThe shoes are thin and the space inside the shoes is abnormally narrow, and the range of children's foot movements is greatly reduced, which makes it easy to sweat and breed bacteria.
The feet and ankles are bound in the shoes, which is not only uncomfortable for the child, but also not conducive to the blood circulation of the feet, which will occur over timeLeg numbness, insufficient blood supplyThe feeling that the toes are squeezed together may also makeToenails embedded in the flesh cause paronychia.
And so onIt can limit your child's bone growth and ankle and leg muscle development.
I believe that the fans of HKUST are at the forefront of fashionHowever, it is recommended not to wear boots for your baby before the age of 6.
Cotton slippers
Cotton slippers are generally wide and cannot fix the baby's feet. You need to hook your toes hard to grasp the slippers, which is easy to causeIf you are shaky when walking, hook your toes, and fatigue of your plantar muscles, wearing it for a long time will affect the development of your toes and arches.

Therefore, it is not recommended for children before the age of 6.
High heels
Everyone has a love for beauty, but not at the expense of your baby's health.

Children's foot control is insufficient, and high heels will affect the baby's standing and walking posture, affect the health of the spine, and easily lead to foot bones, pelvic bone deformation, sprains and bone cracks.
The new national standard stipulates:Children's heels must not exceed 25cm。
Parents can check if there are shoes that exceed this standard, and if so, throw them away immediately!
In fact, there is a little secret to picking shoes for your child in winter.
Today, at the risk of being chased and beaten by merchants, Keda will tell you the tips for picking shoes!
The choice of shoes is also divided into ages
Babies learning to walk are generally divided into:Pre-toddler, toddler, steady step.
Babies at different stages have different standards for choosing shoes.
step upfront
The pre-step period refers to the stage before the baby is 1 year old, and we can put on a small sock for the baby
When the baby begins to toClimb-stand-walk transitionWhen we can, we can choose shoes that cover the feet to avoid falling off the heel.
The sole and upper surface should be soft, the sole should be light and thin, and the shoes should be breathable and have good moisture absorption and sweat wicking function.
Warm, non-slip floor socks or footwear with integrated floor shoesIt is easy to feel the ground and learn the skills of grasping and walking.
It is not only warm and non-slip, but also does not affect the stimulation that the baby's proprioceptive development needs to accept.

Toddler
Toddler generally refers to a 1-2 years old.
When the baby can stand on his back, we should put shoes on the child.
At this stage, the baby begins to learn to walk, but the strength of the feet is limited, the ankle joint is still relatively weak, and there will be a shaking feeling.
So, we can choose some for the babyThe heel is fixed, the forefoot is soft and easy to bend, and the fabric is softSuch shoes are supportive, comfortable and soft, can support and protect the baby's ankles, prevent the baby from falling down, and facilitate the bending movement of the feet.

Steady period
Around the age of two or three, the baby basically enters a steady period.
At this time, the child is actually relatively stable when walking, so when we choose shoes for the child, the sole of the shoe should have a certain thicknessProbably 1-1Around 5cmThis is to have a shock-absorbing effect and protect the soles of your baby's feet.
At the same time, pay attention to the wrapping and hardness of the shoes, and try to chooseWide round toe type, buckled hook and loop style,Easy to put on and take off, elastically adjustable, lightweight shoes.
At this stage, the baby will walk more, so while keeping warm, we must pay attention to the breathability of the shoes, so as not to cause problems such as foot odor and bacteria.
Shoes are the right size
The size of the child's feet varies from day to day, so be sure to measure the baby's current foot length before buying shoes.
The University of Science and Technology has summarized 2 methods that parents who don't know how to measure can save them.
Scientific Family Parenting Original.
Measure the length of your baby's feet, and the inner length of your shoes should be larger than your feet0.5~1cmOf these, summer sandals should be large0.5cm，Wear socks in autumn and winter, and shoes should generally be large1cmAround.
Many parents hold the idea of "letting their children wear it for a few more years" and like to buy shoes that are one size larger, which will make the baby's feet not fixed, affect the walking posture, and seriously lead to O-shaped legs and X-shaped legs.
Some older siblings or friends wear shoes that are also not suitable for the baby.
This is not a great objection to hard austerity, butThe shoes worn by other children will be deformed due to the size of the feet, fat and thin, walking habits, and the baby will not be suitable for wearing, which will seriously affect the walking posture and musculoskeletal health, resulting in foot inversion, foot valgus and other conditions.
The mantra of "3 to see and 5 to do" should be memorized
After knowing the length of your baby's feet, if you see a pair of shoes you like, how do you judge whether they are suitable for your baby?
Look at the toe cap:Be sure to choose a baotou, not a pointed one, so as to ensure that it does not affect the baby's foot development, will not induce paronychia, and can also prevent kicking and hurting the toes.In addition to looking at 3 points, there are also 5 actions to remember, which are:"Fold, pinch, twist, press, smell".Look at the upper:The upper is breathable, soft and elastic, without redundant design, to avoid stuffy feet, breeding bacteria, and chubby feet will not strangle their feet when worn.
Look at the sole:Non-slip, the front 1 3 should be flexible and easy to bend.

One fold: Fold the sole in half, if the bend is not in the front of the sole 1 3 - pass!
Second pinch: Pinch the heel and front of the shoe with both hands. If there is no hardness - pass!
Three twists: Twist the shoes with both hands, if the shoes are too easy to deform - pass!
Four presses: Reach out to the forefoot part of the inside of the shoe, press it, if it is too soft, it will not work - pass!
Five smells: Smell the shoes for any peculiar smells, and if so, pass!
A good pair of shoes is related to the safety of children, the development of good walking posture, the healthy development of feet and good body shape.
When we choose shoes for our children, we must not pursue fashion and beauty and ignore the potential dangers, after all, the safety of children is the most important.
