Bones Collar
Hey baby shoes, what are you wearing?
An average adult will walk in the region of 180 000 kilometres in a lifetime, so to make sure the first steps are healthy ones in the right direction, the choice of baby shoes is important.
The foot is a surprisingly complex part of the body, made up of 26 bones and 35 joints, with lots of ligaments supporting the structure. However, a baby’s foot only has 22 of these bones, with the rest developing slowly throughout childhood.When one considers that an infant’s foot bones are soft, pliable cartilage which damages more easily, it is vital to ensure that their baby shoes offer proper protection and support.
It’s estimated that once babies start walking – anytime from 8 months to 18 months – they will take around 170 steps a minute.Wow – that’s quite a lot of little steps, so he or she will need the best baby shoes around to get him going!
Are there any tips for choosing the correct children’s shoes ?
First up, the shoe should be flexible and soft.And for the softest shoes, leather is always the best choice – and for kids’ shoes handcrafted from sheepskin lleather with flexible rubber soles, the best choice is See Kai Run.
Based in the US, See Kai Run manufactures baby and children’s shoes to the highest international functionality and health guidelines, and carries the prestigious seal of approval from the American Podiatric Medical Association. See Kai Run’s new website especially designed for customers in Australia and New Zealand gets online ordering of its funky and fab baby shoes and kids’ shoes done in just a few quick… steps !
The ideal fit is one that offers comfort and support, but kids’ shoes should not constrict the foot or feel tight.A one or two centimetre space between the end of the shoe and the toes is recommended.This gap should be checked regularly as children’s feet do grow rapidly. Poor fitting could lead to foot problems later on.
Importantly, the foot should not slip around the shoe which could cause damage to the child’s heel or toe.Open sandals should be secured by a strap over the instep and closed shoes should have comfortable, pliable collars for support.
The sole ought to be flat yet provide flexibiity, especially under the ball of the foot. The heel cup of kids’ shoes should fit firmly and comfortably but not tightly, with the foot supported by the shoe’s straight inner edge.
The toe of the shoe should be round, not tapered, in order to allow the toes to move around.
There are three different collections in the See Kai Run range of children’s shoes, the first is for babies (0 – 18 months), the second for younger kids (3 – 8 years) and finally, the ‘Eleven Collection’ (kids up to 11).
When children reach their late teens, between 16 and 18 years old, their feet will be fully developed.Choosing the best children’s shoes from the outset will help grow little baby steps into healthy adult strides.
