KEEPING KID’S FEET HEALTHY

It’s astounding the changes our little ones go through as they grow through their early years. To make the world’s best children’s shoes we work closely with a range of podiatrists and researchers to help grow our understanding of foot health and development. We’re committed to the good foot health of our children and the adults they will one day become.

Natural Movement for Natural Growth

When they’re first born, the bones in children’s feet are still forming, only about three quarters of the bones even exist yet and over the next few years their feet will change a lot! They’re squishy and cute, but as every parent knows children grow up fast and their feet will soon be taking shape. They need shoes for protection, but it’s important that their shoes allow for free and natural movement, without restriction, to guide them on their earliest adventures.

 

High quality children’s shoes should be extremely flexible, not rigid, to allow children’s feet to grow normally and give them the same range of movement they would have if they weren’t wearing shoes at all. Bobux shoes are designed with the most comfortable and breathable materials we could find to follow your child’s natural movement almost like a second skin.

 

The Five Stages of Foot Development

 

Hear from the experts

In everything we do, Bobux works closely with some of the world’s leading podiatrists and foot health experts. Here’s what they have to say.

 

 

How do I know my child’s feet are developing properly?

Parents often ask us “how do I know my child is on track?” They want to know their little ones are growing and developing normally - especially their feet! The truth is children develop at different rates, how long they take to start walking or how early their feet start to form can vary a great deal.

The important thing is not to stress, soon after they can crawl they will walk and then run and jump. Just know that your child will develop at their own rate. For starters, children’s feet won’t be fully developed until between the ages of 13 - 15 for girls and 15 - 18 for boys.

Over those 18 years your child’s feet will go through many changes as they grow from being infants to young adults. To help understand what stage your child is at, read more about the five stages of development here.

 

How to choose the right shoe for your child

Choosing the right shoe for your child is about more than just finding the right size, it’s important to also find a shoe that’s designed especially for whatever developmental stage they’re at. At Bobux, we design our shoes to meet children’s needs for each individual stage, ensuring the right mix of adjustability, flexibility, breathability and fit to help them grow and develop naturally.
