The ideal footwear

The footwear is the set of characteristics of a shoe that allow it to dress the foot correctly and comfortably. The size is of course one of the main data to take into account to choose the right pair of shoes, but it is not the only one. The footwear is also defined by the width of the shoe, its volume - which is called form - and its construction.

The ideal footwear

For the fitting to be ideal, the foot should not slide forward when walking, the heel must be kept so as not to get out of the shoe, finally, the volume at the front must be sufficient throughout the movement of course. Their design is similar to that of adult shoes, with additional technical characteristics. Shoes for children who have acquired the steps of walking must require rigorous skill qualities.

Different morphologies

Each foot is different. For the same length, the foot can be more or less wide, the volume of the coat - its upper part - can be more or less important. These factors will determine the ideal form for maintaining foot and its health. We then speak of a fine, standard or wide fit. Knowing the peculiarities of the child's foot is essential to offer an adapted form.
