(Health-NewsWire.Net, February 01, 2016 ) Titusville, FL -- Sheen Butler-Young wrote an article for FootwearNews.com listing tips for keeping the feet of children healthy during the school year. Footwear News publishes articles on its website to assist parents in navigating the world of young feet, small shoes, and orthotic arch supports for kids such as Hydrofeet® Kids.
The first tip is that parents monitor and note the growth of their children. According to the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA), small feet can grow rapidly in the span of one year. Their shoe and sock sizes are expected to change every few months. If children are forcing their feet into ill-fitting footwear, kids may develop painful irritation. Parents must recognize when socks or shoes need to be replaced.
The next tip is to refrain from sharing shoes. Most parents like to give and receive hand-me-downs because they can save money. According to APMA, this is not a good idea. Shoes from other children can be a gateway for fungi transfer.
Another tip is that parents match shoes with the activities of their children. If children sign up for both basketball and football, it will be helpful for foot growth and performance to wear appropriate shoes. The American Academy of Podiatric Sports Medicine recommends that parents invest in sport-specific footwear when their children turn 10.
The foot health of children can also be enhanced by wearing shoe inserts such as Hydrofeet® Kids. In addition to providing total foot support for children, they also help flat feet and pigeon toes. Hydrofeet® Kids are filled with liquid glycerin that moves back and forth with every step, giving the child a massage. These shoe insoles can be hand- or machine-washed, and reduces the formation of bacteria on the feet.
Midwest Health Solutions is an authorized seller of Hydrofeet® Kids and Hydrofeet® for women and men, which can be purchased on Amazon.
