Podologists recommend that children carry appropriate footwear to their motor needs and not bigger in their size

Likewise, they advise that the shoes of the little ones is not larger than the size they fit, so they rule out that they buy larger shoes or shoes to serve a whole season.Thus, these professionals say that "the footwear has to accommodate the real size of the child's foot" because "if the shoe is not fair of their size could alter their way of walking, cause instability or create blisters or lacerations."

These are some of the recommendations issued by the General Council of Official Colleges of Podiatrists of the Valencian Community coinciding with the beginning of the school year and with the objective that "parents obtain an outstanding" with their children's footwear.

This agency has highlighted, in a statement, that a study conducted by Professor Roberto Pascual, from Miguel Hernández University, among 600 schoolchildren, referred more than one third to the podiatrist, 40 percent for possible children's flat foot.

He also stressed that although 83 percent of schoolchildren were wearing the right size, 62 percent went to school with specific football footwear and 11 percent with sports with wheels -these are "a toy" and their use is usedIt must limit "to one or two hours a week"-.

Podiatrists have explained that the children's foot grows every quarter about eight millimeters and have affirmed that this growth is greater when the child is smaller.A year and a half, the foot has approximately half in length at the end of the growth and at ten years 80 percent of the total size have specified.

They have also commented that the beginning of the school year is "the time to buy the right footwear" for the littleAnd twelve hours a day, since he usually continues with him after the end of the school day. "

However, the General Council of Official Podiatrist Colleges has stated that "the choice of footwear is a fundamental factor, especially for children from one to eight years" since this is the period from which "they begin to fit them untilThe development of 80 percent of the angular and torsional evolution of the lower limbs has occurred.

"A human invention"

Podiatrists have pointed out that footwear "is a human invention", so they say "should not alter the physiological evolution of the foot, nor supply the functions of natural elements such as damping, flexibility or mobility."

In this sense, they have stated that "the possible most common consequences associated with the use of inappropriate footwear range from the deformities of the fingers and

Uñeros, to overloads or muscle shortening, tendonitis here, pain in the sole of the foot and eczema or dermatitis caused by synthetic materials. "

In addition, these professionals have asserted that "during the growth and maturation of the march, it is necessaryThe three and four years ", when you can see" how the foot and the lower members develop. "

"COMMON MISTAKES"

Podiatrists have commented that among the "common mistakes" that are in the use of children's footwear is "inherit shoes" some minors from others since "each person's footprint is different and sharing footwear can distort it."Likewise, he points between them "to reuse the footwear last season without taking into account the wear" or "foot growth", as well as "buying footwear only attending to their price because it will last little."

On the other hand, they reiterate in their recommendations that "the footwear must be of the right size" and say that for it "it is best to measure the foot and inside of the shoe."In addition, they point out that it is convenient to protect the part of the side bones of the ankle "with sufficiently flexible protection to allow the complete movement of the joint without limiting the mobility of the foot and its natural development."

Along the same lines, they ask that they maintain "flexibility in the fingers.""The shoe has to protect at the foot, not compress it. It must be wide enough to allow the fingers to open and move freely," he states, while pointing out that "toe protection is only advised in the pre -Andeans,by crawling. "

Podologists also expose that the shoe has to be of natural material and facilitate perspiration and that the sole should not be too fine but have a certain thickness, be non -slip and not have heel, in addition to underline that they have to have "some means of support, like laces or velcro, failing that, to hold your foot. "The flip flops, clogs, moccasins or dancers are not recommended, they add.

"Beware of fashions"

In the same way, they say that "care with fashions and giving priority to aesthetics" and that despite having chosen the right footwear, it is not used all day, so that "at home the feet are free".However, they ask that children be prevented by barefoot.

With regard to the stay in changing rooms and pools they indicate that it is preferably to go with surfing or barranchism -type escrats, and about the practice of sports that the specific footwear it requires is used only for that activity.In addition, they explain that "we must not overprotect the foot" so that he does not get used to "excessive comfort."
