Abstract

This review article discusses studies based on biomechanical and clinical materials aimed at exploring the impact of footwear on foot development. The results of the literature review confirm the need for progress in the science of children’s footwear and the preliminary understanding of the interaction between the foot and footwear. Proper footwear plays a crucial role in maintaining and strengthening the health of the growing generation. For children’s footwear to fulfill its purpose, it must meet a number of hygienic requirements arising from the anatomical and physiological characteristics of the child’s body, particularly the feet. Along with the upper parts of the feet, the sole is an important and complex organ in terms of structure and function. The transition from sitting to walking takes about 9 months, during which time the structures and functions of the feet must adapt to the issues related to load-bearing, making proper footwear an important element for movement.
