Faced with a wide variety of styles.

Many mothers have a headache and don't know how to pick them.

Doctors said that improper selection of shoes would lead to flat feet for children.

Near the end of the year, many parents will buy new clothes for their children, and shoes are indispensable.

Snow boots, peas shoes, high heels...

Faced with a wide variety of children's shoes, many mothers have a headache and don't know how to pick them.

Doctors said that improper selection of shoes would lead to flat feet, fatigue and pain in the feet, and serious complications such as plantar fasciitis, knee pain or lumbago.

The doctor suggested that parents not only choose the right shoes for their children, but also let their children practise "foot spine health exercises" to improve their health.

Children should be examined after foot 4 years of age.

Foot problems are common among primary and middle school students, especially flat feet.

Foot health affects children's whole body shape. Generally speaking, children who have dealt with flat feet and other clinical problems are significantly better at physical development stage than those who have not intervened. They will be more coordinated and fit.

Ms. Yan's son, who is just 1 years old, began to hobble along. But recently, Ms. Yin found that her feet were flat and she was walking when she walked. Ms. Yin thought, is this the flat foot that the old man said? She hurried to the city people's hospital with her child.

"We can often meet parents like Ms. Zhang, who are anxious to pick up children who have just learnt to walk or even come soon, and suspect that their children are flat feet."

Guo Shijie, director of Department of orthopedics, municipal people's Hospital, said that children's flat feet usually need to be around 4 years old before they can be diagnosed. Before this age, the baby's arch is covered by thick fat layers, usually forming a false flat foot phenomenon.

After 4 years of age, the arch of the foot slowly develops, but the development of the foot is not yet fully developed. The flat foot is easy to appear, but the degree varies.

If the child's foot development is not particularly abnormal, parents are best advised to take a professional examination at the age of 4 when they are at the foot testing apparatus. If there is any abnormality, early intervention can be done.

If there are still obvious arch falls at the age of 6, the flat foot should be considered.

In addition, after the baby learns to stand up, mom and dad should not rush to let the baby learn to walk.

Because under the condition that the arch of the foot is not yet well formed, the baby is forced to practice walking, and the whole body weight is pressed on the foot. It is very easy for the arch to be heavier and gradually lead to flat feet.

Ms. Lee is a real "tide mother". While dressing up, she will not forget to let her 12 year old daughter Lele advance into the "tidal front".

Recently, she found a strange phenomenon. After she put on her new high-heeled shoes, she found that she was walking in some eight characters. She looked carefully at her daughter's shoes but found nothing wrong.

In order to be prudent, Ms Li took her daughter to the hospital to consult a doctor.

Guo Shijie said that although the hospital has not yet received the patient who directly causes bone deformation due to wearing shoes, a British expert pointed out that the number of women suffering from toes deformity and foot pain has risen sharply in recent years.

"Although there is no relevant survey data in China, the snow boots and high-heeled shoes must not be worn for long periods of time for young people whose bones, joints and ligaments are in development. They should be worn alternately with other shoes, so that feet can be rested."

Guo Shijie said that when children do different sports, they should choose different shoes instead of "one pair of shoes".

For many of the white cloth shoes commonly used in Physical Education in schools, Guo Shijie suggests that parents should quickly abandon them.

He explained that the sole of white cloth shoes is usually made of rubber and the thickness of the sole is less than 4 millimeters.

The sole is too flat and has no arch position. It is very easy to collapse the arch of the foot.

With too thin sole and lack of support on the soles of the feet, it will lead to fatigue.

White cloth shoes are harmful to children's feet, especially for children who are developing. Therefore, parents should keep their children away from white cloth shoes.

Children with flat feet should not be too soft.

"For children with flat feet, they can't buy shoes at will."

Guo Shijie said that the arch of the foot is called "natural shock absorber". Like spring, it pushes the body forward while walking. It also helps the body to absorb and protect the plantar nerves and blood vessels.

Flat foot is arch collapse, because the arch disappeared, children walking more easily than ordinary people foot fatigue, foot pain, and some shoes such as Doudou shoes, snow boots shoes too soft, no hard heel cup and arch support supporting arch, easy to flat foot children's arch and calf fatigue Lao Jifa injury.

For a long time, it may cause symptoms such as plantar fascia, plantar fasciitis, bone spurs, and so on.

In severe cases, there will also be discomfort in the knee and waist.
