Helpful Anatomy Tips

Buying children's shoes is much more demanding than we think. Every day our sole receives our body weight. Even for us adults, the wrong footwear can cause deformities both in the foot itself and in our body. That's why we have to choose only suitable shoes especially for children!

✅ Basic Anatomy Features

1. Appropriate Size and Shape

  • The shoe should have enough room for the toes so that they can move comfortably. Calculate about 1-1.5 cm distance between the biggest toe and the end of the shoe.
  • The heel must be held firmly, without slipping inside the shoe, to avoid irritation.

2. Flexible Sole

Shoes should have a soft and flexible sole that allows the foot to bend naturally. Avoid rigid shoes as they limit mobility and growth.

3. Anatomic Support

Prefer shoes with a good arch that supports the natural curve of the foot, ideally with a soft insole. Arch support is important for proper posture and avoiding musculoskeletal problems.

4. Breathable Material

Shoe materials should be breathable, such as leather or canvas, to avoid excessive sweating. This helps maintain foot hygiene and reduces the chance of fungal infections.

5. Fixed Hold

Choose shoes that have adjustable fasteners (such as Velcro or laces) to ensure a secure fit without putting too much pressure on the foot. The stable buckle helps prevent falls.

6. No Hard Materials or Seams

Check that the inside of the shoe is free of hard materials or seams that could cause irritation or wounds to the child's skin.

7. Light Weight

Children's shoes must be light, so as not to burden the child during movement and play. Wearing heavy shoes can cause fatigue and affect proper posture.

8. Correct Alignment

Shoes should maintain the natural alignment of the foot, avoiding excessive inward or outward inclination. This is important for proper bone and joint development.

Following your prompting, we received advice from specialist doctors on anatomical issues but above all we "distilled" the knowledge we received, guided by the experience of three generations we have, in the manufacture and sale of children's shoes.

💡Extra Tip:

Shoes with laces or buckles may be attractive to us adults, but for children it is an obstacle that will limit their autonomy.
By choosing shoes that open and close easily with velcro, you will give your child the opportunity to feel capable and "grown up" who can now put on and take off their shoes by themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should we put shoes on an infant?

Certainly after the age of walking. We need shoes when walking. This age varies between 10-14 months. However, "hug" shoes can also be worn by younger babies.

At what age do we expect a child to walk?

Until the 16th-18th month. If he has not walked by this age, then the child should be examined by an orthopedic & pediatric neurologist.

Do the shoes have to be anatomical?

Yes, it is important that children's shoes are anatomical. Correct anatomy in children's shoes offers the necessary support to the foot, which contributes to the proper development of bones, muscles and joints. Anatomical support helps with correct body posture and prevents potential problems such as flat feet or crooked feet.

The anatomy in shoes is especially important for children, as their feet are in a growing phase and need the right support to develop properly.

What are the characteristics of anatomical shoes?

The anatomical children's shoes have:

  1. Arch Support: They support the natural curve of the foot, preventing excessive inward or outward bending.
  2. Soft Insole: Provides comfort and shock absorption, reducing pressure on joints.
  3. Stable Heel: They keep the heel in place, offering stability and avoiding slipping.

What we should avoid:

- Tight shoes. We never put a smaller size on sensitive children's shoes.

- Shoes with a narrow form that prevent the child from moving his toes.

- High-heeled shoes. There is a possibility that they will create serious problems in his leg, irreversible.
