The feet are the base that support our body, therefore, from very young we must take care of the footwear that is used, because inappropriate footwear can lead to future back problems, among other things.
Children grow very fast, and as soon as you neglect, a shoe that was too big for you, now it can fit just right. It is convenient to check our child's shoes regularly, as they do not know how to let us know when their shoes are small. In addition, the bones of his feet are so flexible that they adapt to the size of the shoe that has fallen short, and this can hinder the growth of the foot.
We must pay attention to certain aspects to know if our little one feels comfortable with his shoes. The main thing is to notice how you walk, if you do it swinging or do it uncoordinated, it may be that the footwear tightens you too much. If when you take off your shoes, you notice that your feet are red or that your nails appear curved up or flaky, you need to change your shoes.
Between the big toe and the toe of the shoe, there should be a space less than the width of your toe, the footwear should hold, but never squeeze.
A good recommendation is, allow our child to walk barefoot from time to time at home, this makes the intrinsic foot muscles have a better development and there is a dynamic support during the march. There are studies that state that there is a lower incidence of flat feet in children who walk barefoot. In addition the foot is better oxygenated and the bad smell is fought.
