Kardashian wears high heels for her 1-year-old baby: the correct way to open her 1-year-old baby that you don’t know

Recently, a video of Kim Kardashian putting high heels on a 1-year-old baby was criticized on Weibo. Netizens have said that this move is unsafe and not good for children. In fact, adults are showing off their wealth.

As a mother, I don’t agree with this move. For babies over 1 year old, they are just learning to walk. Wearing high heels is not only prone to falls and injuries, but inappropriate shoes can also have a huge impact on foot development.

So, do you know the importance of choosing suitable toddler shoes for your baby?

For babies who have just started to learn to walk, most of the foot bones are calcifying cartilage. The bones are highly elastic and imperfectly developed, so they are easily deformed and sprained.

Some data show that 90% of children's foot problems are related to improper wearing of shoes. If the baby wears the wrong shoes, it will cause flat feet, internal and external pronation, splayed feet, O-shaped legs, X-shaped legs, etc. In mild cases, the feet will have obvious pain when walking, and in severe cases, it will affect normal walking.

Look at the accidents caused by improper shoe selection, which also makes mothers regretful.

Amputation caused by wearing large-size shoes: An 11-year-old girl had her toes on her right foot amputated because she wore a pair of large-size casual sneakers, resulting in infection of the toe bones and tendons.

He was bitten by an elevator after wearing Crocs: In July last year, a 6-year-old boy was "bitten" on his left foot by a gap in the elevator because the material of the Crocs was too soft.

The grandmother put cotton socks on her one-year-old baby, but the baby's toes got entangled. If not discovered in time, it may cause toe necrosis!

Tangle injuries are usually caused by small objects such as threads, silk threads, and ropes wrapping around the baby's toes, affecting the normal blood circulation, causing redness, swelling, deformity of the baby's limbs, and even causing ischemia and necrosis of local tissue. The dire consequences of amputation.

In daily life, in order to prevent the baby from kicking off socks and shoes, tie a rope around the baby's calf. These will have certain risks.

Moms who choose the right pair of toddler shoes can protect their baby's feet from being injured, buffer the shock generated when the baby walks, and prevent the baby from falling and getting hurt. Therefore, The choice of toddler shoes is crucial.

So, how to choose?

Let’s see if you have entered a misunderstanding and run a red light:

? In order to look good, just buy fashionable styles?

High-heeled shoes, open-toe shoes, and thick-soled height-increasing shoes suitable for adults are also very popular among children's shoes. Although the style is good-looking, it can easily damage the child's arch and lead to foot deformity.

Correct purchasing method:

1. Choose flat shoes;

2. Choose buckle-like designs that are easy to put on and take off;

3. The elasticity is adjustable and can be adjusted according to the size of the baby's feet;

4. Sandals should be chosen that can wrap the toes, which can protect the toes and reduce the chance of being kicked or smashed.

The softer the upper and sole, the better?

The softer your baby’s shoes are, the better. Although the arch of the sole of some inferior children's shoes is easy to bend, it is easy for children to damage the arch when running and jumping.

Correct purchasing method:

Selection of shoe uppers: Choose soft cloth shoes. Cloth shoes have the characteristics of good breathability, softness, lightness and comfort, which are convenient for children's activities and beneficial to children's activities. Foot growth.

Choice of soles: The softness and hardness of the soles depends on the age of the child.

? Do babies have to wear shoes during infancy?

Babies in infancy do not need to walk on their own and can do without shoes;

From 1 to 3 years old, babies begin to learn to stand and walk. Choose shoes with thin, soft soles and the ability to bend greatly. , shoes with a curved toe box can avoid stumbling when walking.

For those aged 3 and above, choose shoes with thick and flexible soles that are easy to bend and have good wear resistance and anti-slip properties.

? Research findings you must know

Moms should never choose shoes made of low-quality plastic, especially Crocs. Researchers found:

Plastic Crocs contain a large amount of carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and these substances can enter the human body through the skin.

It is highly irritating, affects the respiratory function of the foot skin, causes poor perspiration, causes fungal infections, etc.

It lacks anti-slip effect.

? Do I need to buy one size larger for my baby’s shoes?

Shoes that are too large will prevent the baby’s feet from being fixed accordingly. For a baby who has just learned to walk, it may affect the child's courage to open his legs to learn to walk; it may also affect the child's walking posture, and even lead to foot development deformities.

Correct purchasing method:

It is best if your feet do not move in the shoes when walking. Since shoes of the same size may vary from different brands, it is best to take your baby to try on the shoes and buy them in person.

Because babies under 2 years old cannot express their needs emotionally, only their feet know whether the shoes fit properly. Therefore, when buying new shoes for your baby, you should first let your baby wear them for about 10 minutes, try to let your baby walk and move around, and then check whether there is any squeezing or grinding of the feet.

If you are shopping overseas or online and cannot go to a physical store, you must measure your baby's size scientifically and accurately.

Size comparison chart:

So, to choose your baby’s shoes correctly, mothers should remember these 5 things:

Look at the material . The surface of the shoe should be soft and comfortable, while the bottom should be light, non-slip and elastic.

Look at the toe. Babies have fat feet, so the front of the shoes should be wide so as not to squeeze the baby's toes and allow the toes to move freely, so try to choose shoes with round toes for your baby.

After looking at the shoes. The heels of the shoes should be flat, without high heels, and the height should not exceed 3cm. The heels of the shoes should not rub against the heels to prevent them from affecting walking.

Look at the shoe buckles. Velcro fasteners that can be adjusted for tightness are the first choice. Do not choose shoes with laces, because the laces may unravel and trip the baby.

Look at the shoe shape. Shoes should be suitable for the size of your baby's feet. Try to choose round-shaped shoes for fat feet, and choose long and thin shoes for thin feet.
