How to Fit Shoes for Kids
Thursday, September 20th, 2007I see kids with the wrong size shoes all the time. In fact, my son was a victim not too long ago and it caused some issues with his gross motor control, so much so that they had him re-evaluated for physical therapy. We got him new shoes and it was like seeing an entirely new kid.
“Unlike adult feet, children’s feet grow. The study showed that children’s feet were at serious risk because they were contained in an environment that restricted their growing feet. Children are born with relatively soft and flexible cartilage which gradually converts to bone with age. As they are growing, their feet are vulnerable to injury and deformity due to ill-fitting footwear.”
