Careful Selection Of Leather Boots For Children In Critical Period Of Bone Development

In preschool children, the calcaneus began to ossification, and the arch began to form. During this period, children's activities were more vigorous, and the arches and toes were more stimulated. Therefore, shoes can not only be soft, but also have some elasticity. This helps children to keep their balance and form the correct walking posture. In addition, it can also play a certain role in correcting children's different degrees of splay feet.

But you can not wear too hard leather boots, because the children's feet are rich in nerves and blood vessels. If the shoes are hard, they will constrict the local nerves and blood vessels and affect the growth of the toes and feet. Serious people will cause foot deformity.

Parents can also buy small boots for their children. High boots such as small boots can effectively protect ankle joints, but it is best to choose short ones. And it can not be worn for a long time, because the bottom of the leather boots is hard and the weight of the shoes is heavier. On the choice of fabric, try to choose leather shoes with soft leather and good air permeability; do not choose leather shoes made of leather or plastic, so as not to damage the skin of children's feet.

For many girls, the boots that they like to wear are not recommended; of course, high-heeled boots are not suitable for children.

In addition, children of different ages also have characteristics of foot development.

The 1-3 year old baby is chubby and plump, with five fingers full and a narrow heel. At this time, the baby's feet develop very rapidly, and the shape of the feet changes. Before the age of 2, the outward rotation of the gravity line of the leg usually appears as the so-called O shaped leg. The gravity line of the 3~4 year old begins to move outward gradually, and there will be a physiological X shaped leg. This time, the parents should pay special attention to it, because a little carelessness will form a real Eight Legged foot or form a real 0 legged leg or a X shaped leg.

At the age of 4-5, the fat of the baby's feet gradually decreased, and the developing arches began to show up. The foot length was over 60% of the adult. The heel part began to emerge due to the gradual increase in bearing weight. Unlike the old ones, the heel began to turn round. At this time, due to the insufficient strength of the feet, the driving force of the leg swing is relatively small, and it can not form a powerful and relaxed step. This stage is still beginning to form an important stage of stable joints. The ankle joint is weak and unstable. It is very easy to cause damage, and it is not easy to be detected. It needs extra protection.

At this point, mom and dad should pay attention to two problems: flat feet and high arch feet.

Flatfoot is just as its name implies, but the problem it causes is definitely not just a flat foot. Flat feet at the early stage of standing or walking for a long time, feel tired feet, acid and pain, pain after mid term aggravation, late gait heavy, no elasticity, can not absorb the shock force, ankle, knee, hip and waist and other weight-bearing joints, that is, the entire sports joints, will cause traumatic arthritis. In addition, flat feet can cause many diseases such as hallux valgus, internal hallmarks, etc. Because of the rapid growth of body growth and the rapid increase of body weight and activity ability in childhood, if the nutrition is not balanced, if the body is too fat or too thin, it may cause the strength of the foot muscles to not adapt to the sharp increase of body weight and form a flat foot. For example, flat children are more common than obese children. This is related to being overweighted and unsupported. Unsuitable weight, training or standing for too long can also cause flat feet, especially for long time. Another is that shoes are not suitable, such as shoe upper, sole material hard, shoe type narrow, high heel and front stilt shoes, which will cause bone deformity and foot muscle damage. Shoes, such as plastic, synthetic leather, and other poorly breathable materials, will not only cause the feet to be in a hot environment, but also cause flaccid weakness of the foot muscles, which is not enough to support the arch and lead to flat feet.

High arch foot is also a kind of foot disease, manifested as the so-called "high foot", the longitudinal arch of the foot is increased, the length of the foot is shortened, the plantar bone of the foot is obviously prominent, so the range of the foot touching the ground is reduced, the pressure of the metatarsal head part is increased, and the callus (callus) forms, or even dies, and produces pain. High arch foot is inelastic, and can not stand or walk for a long time, so it is easy to fatigue. In addition, the high arch will cause foot varus or hallux valgus. There are many reasons for high arch foot, congenital and neurological diseases after birth. It should be noted that the high-profile arch of high pointed shoes and pointed shoes is especially easy to avoid, especially to avoid wearing such shoes for the baby.
