Children's orthopedic sneakers

Modern rhythm of life dictates its conditions. Today wearing orthopedic sneakers is already a necessity. If earlier they were used only for sporting events, now they can be worn in everyday life.

Especially important orthopedic shoes for children. But to choose a really good, high-quality shoes, you need to know some details and nuances of choice. We will tell about it.

Nowadays, many manufacturers call their shoes orthopedic, using this fact as an advertising move. However, far from always the stated corresponds to the real one. Original orthopedic shoes should be made of leather or nubuck.

There are two types of such shoes:

• The first is sneakers with an orthopedic insole, which removes the load from the spine and evenly distributes it throughout the foot.
• The second is sneakers equipped with an orthopedic sole, which eases the tension exerted on the bones and joints.

Externally, orthopedic shoes are almost the same as simple ones.

First of all, these shoes are recommended for prevention. In the process of running or playing sports, sneakers make it possible to evenly distribute the load on the feet, remove excessive tension in the knee and hip joints, support the health of the spine, relax muscles and improve circulation. The same thing happens with everyday wear.

The biggest plus of orthopedic sneakers is that they help to avoid flat feet. They also provide protection from injury and lack of pain in the legs.

Often wearing orthopedic shoes prescribed by a doctor.

Perhaps the best shoes for girls and boys are sneakers. No wonder they are so popular!

However, orthopedic sneakers have their own characteristics:

• The size. Sneakers should not be large or small. Inside from the big toe to the toe should be 1.5 cm. When you buy sneakers you definitely need to measure. You can not buy orthopedic shoes without a child or just putting it to the foot.

• Sock. Sneakers should have an elastic toe. By the way, he talks about the quality of the product. If, with a strong pressure on the sock with your finger, the dent quickly gets rid of or does not go away at all, it is better not to buy such sneakers.

• Sole. Quality orthopedic sneakers have an elastic sole, which bends with some effort. In good shoes, the baby should easily get up on their socks, jump or run.

• Heel. The best option is the lack of a heel, but let's say a small one, about 0.5 cm.

• Insole with arch support. In this case, you need to know what type of flatfoot the child has. It can be longitudinal or transverse. Also important is the bend of the insole. The higher it is, the stronger the flat feet.

• Heel. Despite the top of the sneakers, the heel must be firm and stable. You can conduct a small experiment - squeeze it in your hand. It should not shrink or deform. In this case, the heel should be soft so as not to damage the foot.

• Material. Sneakers are shoes designed primarily for running. Therefore, they must be made of natural breathable materials. If the shoes do not breath, feet will sweat and sweat. It is also desirable that the material is moisture resistant.

When buying orthopedic shoes should be guided by the features outlined above. However, there are some more important nuances.

• Shoes should not have crooked seams and protruding threads.

• Please note that in the area of ​​the ankle was a small blown roller. His task is to prevent rubbing.
• For a baby, it is better to buy shoes with light reflectors. Thanks to them, it is easier to notice a child in the dark or in a crowd.

Russian company, in no way inferior to its foreign counterparts. The brand produces prophylactic and therapeutic models. All shoes are made according to international standards.

It must be remembered that an expensive and recognizable brand is not a panacea! Need to focus on the comfort of the baby and his reaction. In sneakers should be comfortable. Expensive models may not be suitable for a child. If this is so, it is not worth buying them, blindly believing that it is expensive, it means qualitatively.

All orthopedic shoes presented in stores are preventive. If the feet of the crumbs have already deformed, such sneakers are unlikely to be able to help. Here you need to consult an orthopedic doctor. Most likely, in case of foot problems, shoes will need to be made to order. Another way out is to order an insole with an instep. This should be done as directed by the doctor. Any initiative here is inappropriate and can lead to serious consequences.

Buying shoes for a child is important and difficult. It should not be taken lightly. After all, we are talking about the health of the child. The main thing is to choose the right shoes of the right size, in which the baby will be comfortable.
