Healthy Shoes for Kids | Only Way to Go

Did you know that European healthy leather shoes form children's feet and posture assuring proper growth and foot development. Meaning they shape little bones, joints and ankles into healthy straight position. We call them orthopedic shoes in Europe which means they are manufactured according to proven orthopedic standards set by Ministry of Health in European Union. European children shoes are manufactured with guidance of pediatric specialists where they recommend latest improvements and enhancements that will benefit little feet. Quality shoes are recommended for every child not just those with specific orthopedic problems.

Want to Get Rid of Orthopedic Problems | Buy Only European Shoes

The only proven method to get rid of pronation, pigeon toes, in toeing, bow legs, out toeing, collapsed ankles and decreased foot support in children is through quality well fitted footwear. The smaller the child the faster the positive change will come since their foot muscles are not developed yet. No amounts of orthodics, AFO's, SMO's will do the job like those ankle high walkers!

In Europe shoes are viewed as healthy developmental need, it is not a fashion statement. Therefore European parents buy only European footwear for children and as a result kids grow without any foot or posture problems. More money is spent on the shoes then clothes. Two pairs of good shoes are needed per season for rotation. That is all!

Shoes from China | A Big NO!

Shoes manufactured in China are made out of low grade leather (faux, rubber or plastic) and contains NO orthopedic features of any kind. Leather from China contains various toxic substances like lead and mercury . Quality and craftsmanship is being sacrificed for big corporate profits and therefore every major label imports walkers from low production cost countries.

Low grade sneakers cause various foot deformities. When child walks around with sneakers that have NO structure their ankles begun to turn inwards and pigeon toe along with pronation develops over time. This is caused due to NO ankle ankle support in any of those soft sole sneakers. Cheap none orthopedic sneakers does not offer any structure and cause the foot to flatten over time. Arch is very important in children foot formation as its main factor that holds foot structure and provides balance and alignment.

Avoid local children shoe brands (Keens, Converse, Crocks, Apakowa, UGGS, Plae, Strite Rite, Tukikoshi, Bugs, Merel, Nike, Sorel, New Balance) are mass produced in Asia. Actually, they deform and destroy kids feet over time.

Footwear for Kids | Quality and Production Costs

In China average cost of production of one pair of kids sneakers is only $3 then imagine the quality of product that you getting after retail markup. Why the shoes that you buy every season smell, fell apart, and give your child discomfort? More importantly, how would they form and benefit your child's feet when quality is none existent? Is that maybe a corporate greed that outsources production jobs to China and forces local customers to settle for pure junk? Why USA footwear brands that used to produced locally closed down moved to China but are still allowed to sell and profit in USA?

European boots, sandals, sneakers are expensive in general since labor, quality materials and manufacture costs are high. Average pay or any leather worker in Europe ranges from 10.20EU to 25EU an hour (varying from country to country) therefore, locals gets paid living wages for quality products they produce. The footwear they produce is made out of best quality leathers (no harmful CFC's), fits well and it is measured and fitted on average child's foot.
