These four kinds of shoes
Not suitable for babies under 2 years old!
Functional shoes
● Functional shoes are designed according to the principle of human mechanics, aiming at the baby's foot type and walking style, but they are really not suitable for babies. There is no corresponding standard and no special function for functional shoes in China. The most important thing is that the soles of functional shoes are particularly thick, especially not suitable for babies to wear when they are toddlers.
In addition, there are many functional shoes whose insoles have raised arches, which seem to fit the baby's arches better, but actually affect the normal development and work of the baby's arches.
Caterpillar shoes
● Many parents think that caterpillars are very soft and comfortable, but the toe cap that is too upturned will keep the baby's delicate feet upturned, so that the baby's forefoot (the front fulcrum of the arch) will always be stressed, which will affect the baby's arch development.
Moreover, most caterpillar shoes are "one pedal", and there are no fasteners or straps that can adjust the tightness, so there is no way to suit all baby's foot types. Thin feet will "bump" inside, and fat feet may press the foot surface.
Expert advice: caterpillar shoes should be worn after the baby is 2 years old.
footware
Expert's suggestion: work shoes is not suitable for baby's sedate shoes, but more suitable for babies over 2 years old to wear when correcting their internal and external personalities.
snow boots
● Many mothers like snow boots because they are nice and warm. Some mothers even buy the same model for their babies, which is simply a must-have winter boots in northern winter. However, the flat bottom, wide and soft toe and unsupported heel of snow boots are very unsuitable for developing babies!
Expert advice:
1. If you must wear snow boots, you can try to reduce the wearing time, such as wearing them on the way to kindergarten, and changing to other shoes when you arrive at kindergarten or indoors;
2. You can put an insole in the shoe, which is low in the front and high in the back, which can not only play the role of shock absorption, but also prevent the baby's feet from running around in the shoe.
What shoes should a toddler wear?
When you can't stand: step on your shoes
Baby's first pair of shoes, but not really walking shoes, only play a protective and decorative role.
Selection points:
● Shoes should be very soft and breathable and can be folded in half from the middle of the shoes;
● The soles and uppers are smooth and do not need anti-slip particles;
● The vamp should be long, and there should be hooks or straps to adjust the tightness. Because the baby has no heel, such shoes can completely wrap the baby's little feet, which is not only convenient to take off, but also can properly adjust the height of the instep and the fatness of the feet.
● Baby shoes and socks are as light as possible, and most of the fabrics that are too bright contain harmful substances such as formaldehyde.
Start standing, early toddler: toddler shoes
The baby has entered the toddler stage because he can already stand. Experts suggest that it is best to learn to walk barefoot, so the shoes of this period should also make the baby feel unconstrained.
Selection points:
● The first third of the shoes can be bent, but the back can't be bent to protect and support the arch, and can't be bent from the middle like stepping on the previous shoes;
● The soles of toddler shoes must not be too slippery, just a little. Shoes that are too non-slip are not conducive to the baby's walking, and the feet will slide and collide in the shoes;
● The forefoot must be thin, not more than 5cm from the sole of the foot to the top of the foot. It is necessary to make the soles of the feet feel the ground, exercise the muscles of the feet and stimulate the nerve development of the soles of the feet. Many babies can't walk when they put on shoes, because the soles are too thick and their feet can't feel the ground.
● The instep of the shoes should be high, and there should be adhesive buttons or straps to adjust the tightness.
When you can walk stably outdoors: stable shoes.
Selection points:
● The first third of the shoes can be bent;
Choose a wide and round toe cap with hardness, which can play a protective role;
● The upper should have proper hardness to protect the baby's ankle joint;
● The heel should have a height of 3~5mm, which can play a role in shock absorption. The maximum heel cannot exceed1cm;
● The vamp should be soft and breathable, because at this time, the baby's feet will be particularly prone to sweating, and the insole should keep the forefoot thin and the back slightly thick.
The most suitable for babies under 2 years old is: leather shoes!
