Properly selected shoes are an important factor in the treatment of flat feet. According to the recommendations of orthopedic doctors, preference should be given to ordinary leather shoes. Moreover, the leather should be quite soft, and the sole should have a small heel. High-quality sports sneakers are also quite suitable. Women should limit themselves to wearing high heels and platforms. They unevenly distribute the load on the foot when walking and can only aggravate flat feet.
When choosing shoes in a store, both for adults and children, you should be guided by the following simple principles.
These criteria for choosing shoes are also useful for those who do not have flat feet.
In addition to regular, properly selected shoes, wearing special orthopedic shoes gives significant results. Orthopedic shoes act on a person’s foot in several directions at once. It is the “ultimate support” when walking; it corrects mild foot deformities, compensates for shortening of the foot, increases the area of support, allows you to relieve painful areas of the foot and masks the external defect.
Already with the first degree of flat feet, wearing orthopedic shoes may be prescribed. As a rule, such shoes are combined with specially made orthopedic insoles.
It is important to wear orthopedic shoes for plano-valgus feet, especially when there is a serious deviation of the first toe to the outside. Shoes for flat-valgus feet have a hard, high heel. Orthopedic shoes for flat feet can be made to order, usually based on a plaster cast of the patient’s foot. Previously, such shoes looked like lace-up leather ankle boots. But modern medicine has stepped far forward and nothing aesthetic is alien to it now. Today, it is already very difficult to distinguish orthopedic shoes from ordinary ones by appearance.
The principles of correct selection of children's shoes do not contradict what we outlined above. Now you should understand the specifics of children's shoes. The very first and most important principle is no shoes for the first steps. It is advisable for the child to learn to walk barefoot. Many particularly suspicious parents, already at this age, are trying to rid their child of flat feet, which they themselves diagnose him with. It should be remembered that when a child begins to walk, his foot is still in the formative stage, and indeed outwardly resembles flat feet. Parents, having made such a diagnosis, begin to “treat” this flatfoot by selecting special orthopedic shoes for the child. And in this way they can disrupt the natural course of development of the child’s foot. Therefore, if you suspect flat feet in a child, you should consult a doctor; do not rush to select special shoes.
When choosing shoes for flat feet, do not forget to pay attention to such an important factor as “comfort”. How your feet feel will always tell you the right choice of shoes or boots. As for the choice of orthopedic shoes, you should trust orthopedic doctors.

If there are problems, then I wouldn’t count on just one shoe. 01/20/2015 14:43:29, Marine (ex. clip)
and we will be 6 and only have a flat foot, which in the course of probing the question generally turns out to be a type of norm. 01/20/2015 16:35:25, Grape sugar

I read reviews on the Internet - they praise it. 01/20/2015 10:06:48, Grape sugar
Mine wears both. Whoopi is just prettier.
My 7-year-old, level 2 flat feet, didn’t go away. Physio, massages, shoes. But at least my legs don't hurt. At the age of 4, my legs hurt, I had a full examination, and it turned out that flat feet were causing this. If you switch to regular shoes, your feet will hurt again, we tried it. Therefore, he wears either prophylaxis or an insole in regular shoes with a hard back. Plus, the orthopedist advises us to constantly exercise (but mine is still hypotonic). For example, football, running, jumping - these cannot be done in large quantities, but gymnastics, acrobatics, martial arts, etc. there should be. Because if the load decreases for a long time (for example, winter, walking less, walking less and not doing sports) - in the spring, with active running, long walking - the legs hurt again and the limp begins.
Oh, I wrote)))))) 01/20/2015 13:27:48, Julia R
We wouldn't say particularly tall.
but Orsetto in the picture seems to have a painfully low rise.
The only thing that can save it is that the fasteners are on a buckle.
Anyway, let's try it on and see. 01/20/2015 10:50:34, Grape sugar

Most of our doctors insist on “pads” for their feet, but a different approach, IMHO, is more correct and logical
but overall it is a very accessible and effective method.
do you replace it somehow in winter?
for example, I saw such a rug [link-1] 01/20/2015 10:24:53, Grape sugar
Just don’t buy heavy shoe shoes, which are called “orthopedic”, I made these to order at a factory in Moscow and threw them away, IMHO they do more harm than good. 01/19/2015 22:09:25, Len.ta
Two of me grew up wearing these shoes before school, and it helped remove the orthopedic diagnosis towards the end of the beginning. I will not enter into the discussion of whether it is orthopedic or not :) 01/20/2015 20:25:53, Len.ta

And you didn’t buy orthopedic carpets with multi-colored puzzles!? 01/19/2015 20:44:52, Grape sugar
and why the seabed, and not grass, pimples, etc.? 01/20/2015 12:11:17, Grape sugar
I looked at a lot of rugs, just a bunch. The seabed is the only real option (not for 5 thousand and at the same time of high quality).
There are three types. Seashells are what a child (and an adult) should start with. Corals are a great thing for a relaxing massage (try it yourself after a day on your feet - you won’t regret it). And the stars are for the advanced (it’s hard for me to do exercises after a break; I can just walk). Well, some fish, just for children’s entertainment. I have the first three and we use them all. the child is mostly on shells, of course.
This is a fantastically useful thing, I learned it in practice. Firstly, the foot massage is wonderful, secondly, training the foot muscles, training stabilizers, which is not possible in the ordinary life of a modern person, and thirdly, I have read more than once that it greatly helps strengthen the immune system, I believe in it because that the foot itself is the center of immunity (there is a more scientific explanation for this, you can read)). 01/20/2015 14:46:22, Lancel
Yes, the village tramps don’t know what flat feet are, but they run on the ground, on sand, on grass, or at best on a wooden floor. And in the conditions of our apartments, where there is often artificial material on the floor (laminate, linoleum) and carpets, maybe I’m wrong, and they really can cause flat feet?
What do you know about this? What have you read, what do doctors tell you? Thank you!
Yes, the village tramps don’t know what flat feet are, but they run on the ground, on p.
But at the same time, wonderful medical recommendations do not discriminate between our children! Everyone should wear orthopedic shoes, period! Well, isn't it nonsense?
You somehow express your point of view very harshly, somehow evilly. We are not experts in this matter, so we can only give gentle advice. And the doctor will insist on consultation if the child still has a problem.
Maybe I'm wrong, if so, then I apologize.
After all, here we are more like internet friends, so why really fight?
Indeed, many of our orthopedists believe that you should wear shoes even at home. But IMHO this is reinsurance; you can immediately learn to walk on crutches. In any case, even among doctors there is no consensus on this matter, but the benefits of walking barefoot are obvious.
My child has half heredity: I have flat feet, and my husband has perfect feet. We both grew up in the city, not in nature. I doubt that our mothers did not follow the instructions, especially since they sent them to the nursery quite early, in short, they wore shoes. Another thing is that my husband played a lot of sports and is generally physically well prepared. And I’m kind of an intellectual. So what influences?
And yet, it’s hot in our house. I wear flip-flops 9 because I can’t go barefoot due to dystonia), but my husband always goes barefoot. He doesn’t recognize any slippers anywhere. If you wear sandals on a baby doll, you can’t put them on your bare feet, you’ll put your socks on, right? But it's hot.
Yes, my daughter is 11 months old and is now taking her first independent steps.
By the way, it’s not just about the foot. Shoes should be as comfortable and physiological as possible. Explain to me, please, what is the benefit of walking barefoot on the parquet? On the ground, sand, grass, orthopedic paths - I agree completely.
Make an appointment with an orthopedist yourself. He meets on Tuesdays at KPO.
Flatfoot is a change in the shape of the foot, characterized by
by lowering its longitudinal and/or transverse arches.
The main purposes of the foot are to support body weight and move the body in space. At the same time, the foot is a very important part of the human musculoskeletal system. Throughout life, the foot experiences enormous static and dynamic loads.
Main functions of the foot:
An important design feature of the human foot is its arched structure.
When the shape of the foot changes and the initial stage of foot deformation forms, the functions of the foot also deteriorate. This is especially reflected in the depreciation function. The foot can no longer actively absorb shock loads, and these loads are transmitted throughout the musculoskeletal system. As a result, the knee, hip joints, spine suffer, and may even cause headaches.
Reasons for the development of flat feet.
The most common reason is improper distribution of the load on the foot (insufficient load or overload). This can be caused, for example, by improper footwear or muscle weakness. Approximately 3% of people inherit flat feet. For many, it develops as a result of diseases: rickets, polio, diabetes. Women suffer from flat feet four times more often than men. Risk factors include: uncomfortable shoes and walking in high heels, standing for long periods of time, being overweight, and pregnancy.
When flatfoot is advanced, various foot deformities occur:
Heel spurs appear, blood circulation in the lower extremities is disrupted, and the ankles become swollen and painful. Deformation changes appear in the area of the knee and hip joints. The legs quickly get tired and hurt, they ache, and the gait deteriorates.
There are congenital (initial) and acquired flat feet. Congenital flatfoot is extremely rare and is a consequence of a malformation of fetal tissue. Mostly flat feet are acquired.
Acquired flatfoot occurs at absolutely any age and comes in several types:
Static flatfoot occurs in 80% of all cases, its development depends on many factors: uncomfortable shoes (high heels, shoes that don’t fit, narrow toe); work on feet; overweight; passive lifestyle; pregnancy and the period after childbirth.
Types of flat feet vary depending on which arch of the foot is deformed (flatten):
Moreover, all types are very common, but transverse flatfoot usually predominates. With longitudinal flatfoot, the longitudinal arch is flattened and the foot is in contact with the floor with almost the entire area of the sole, the length of the feet increases. With transverse flatfoot, the transverse arch of the foot is flattened, its anterior section rests on the heads of all five metatarsal bones, the length of the feet is reduced due to the fan-shaped divergence of the metatarsal bones, the deviation of the first toe outward and the hammer-shaped deformation of the middle toe.
How to independently determine longitudinal flatfoot:
To obtain a plantogram (sole imprint), apply a layer of rich leather cream to the skin of the sole and then step on a piece of paper. You can also step on a piece of paper with a wet foot. The sheet of paper should be placed on a hard, flat horizontal surface.
With a normally developed foot, the “fat” imprint makes up 1/3 of the midline, and the “clean” part makes up 2/3 of the total length of the midline. When the height of the arch decreases or increases, these proportions are violated.
With flattening of the longitudinal arch of the first degree, almost 2/3 of the line is painted over, with the second degree, almost the entire middle line remains painted, and with flat feet of the third degree, the line is completely located on the painted part of the print.
How to independently determine transverse flatfoot:
Foot problems caused by flat feet:
ingrown toenail calluses corns
There are many causes of flat feet, but the main reason, about 8 out of 10 cases, is poor development of the muscles and ligaments of the foot. Therefore, in order to properly form the arch, you need to constantly train them. Without load, the foot muscles become weak and are unable to support the foot in a normally elevated state, which is the cause of flat feet.

There is an opinion that orthopedic shoes are not beautiful. Modern orthopedic shoes for women are manufactured by the world's leading manufacturers and are often not inferior to conventional models. It can be worn not only by people with various diseases, but also by everyone who cares about their health.
For the opportunity to walk on two legs, humanity has to pay with numerous inconveniences, including leg diseases. Every day, the feet withstand a huge load, which has a negative impact with every step.
Beautiful, but uncomfortable shoes are to blame for the development of spinal diseases, since every centimeter of heel significantly increases the load. High heels first cause leg fatigue, and then more serious consequences: foot deformation, joint problems, arthritis and arthrosis, as well as some diseases of the internal organs.
If the feet are “healthy”, then most of the daily load is taken on by the arch of the foot, which serves as a kind of shock absorber. Problems arise with deformation or flat feet.
The purchase of orthopedic shoes is indicated in the following situations:
With transverse flatfoot, the arch of the foot cannot absorb shocks and loads; instead, the hip joint or, in more serious cases, the spine does this. Constant loads, impacts, and friction lead to gradual wear of the intervertebral discs or deterioration of the condition of the joints. This, in turn, can lead to other serious problems: headaches, pinched nerves, osteochondrosis, diseases of internal organs.
Even such an ailment as flat feet, which is extremely rarely paid attention to, can lead to such serious complications.
In addition, many people do not know that they have flat feet, wondering why headaches and fatigue are so frequent. It is known that solving this problem is very simple: you only need properly selected orthopedic shoes for women.
It will help avoid many problems and promote optimal distribution of the load on the legs. In orthopedic shoes, the joints are located anatomically correctly, shock absorption is provided during walking, preventing premature wear of the joints. By correcting the load, gait and posture are aligned.
Unlike ordinary ones, model orthopedic shoes can be purchased not only in standard sizes, but also for non-standard feet: wide feet, large size shoes, etc.
At the same time, it will be stylish, useful and comfortable to wear. When making shoes to special order, it is possible to adjust them to an individual size.
The second advantage of therapeutic shoes is greater depth. If necessary, you can put an additional orthopedic instep support inside. It will be difficult to do such a manipulation with ordinary shoes. Seasonal shoes will have removable insoles that can be removed for cleaning, washing or replacement.
An important point is comfort when wearing orthopedic shoes, since they were initially created to ensure it. Comfort to wear is very important, especially with diagnosed foot deformities, flat feet, etc. In addition, it is very difficult to purchase comfortable shoes for wide feet or large sizes.
Even women with non-standard feet or various diseases can choose orthopedic shoes: diabetic foot, high arch, wide foot, etc.
Orthopedic boots or shoes will always be comfortable, regardless of the time you have to spend on your feet during the day. In such shoes, even with long wear, corns and calluses do not form.
Orthopedic shoes are preferred not only by women who have foot problems, but also by those who do not have these problems. These are mainly women who want to maintain health even in the presence of harmful factors: “standing” work, a sedentary lifestyle, intense physical activity. Such shoes, both casual and sports, significantly reduce the load on the knees, spine and ankle joints, so it will be comfortable to walk around the clock.
Many women, in pursuit of beauty, often go to extremes, purchasing elegant stilettos, flat ballet flats, or even platform shoes, wondering why problems arise.
According to doctors, foot diseases are caused by improperly selected shoes. It is very simple to determine that the shoes or boots have been chosen correctly: they are comfortable to walk in even for a long time.
If by the end of the day the shoes begin to pinch or discomfort appears, then the choice was wrong.
The safest option is orthopedic shoes. There is a preconceived opinion about them that such shoes are heavy, scary boots intended for the elderly or people with severe leg defects.
And this opinion was true not so long ago. Modern orthopedic shoes are stylish models that are suitable for any occasion, are made from high-quality materials, are comfortable to wear and are absolutely safe.
Orthopedic shoes currently come in three types:
Shoes of the first two groups are prescribed only after consultation with an orthopedist, who will help you choose the right model for the treatment of the disease. Comfortable shoes, in contrast, can be purchased without consultation and used without restrictions.
Orthopedic salons now have beautiful and fashionable shoes for different seasons. The assortment includes winter, indoor, demi-season and summer women's shoes. It can be open or closed, leather or suede, with or without fur. Depending on the type, sandals, boots, and shoes are made.
In case of serious violations, it is often necessary to manufacture special footwear to order, since this work must be performed by a highly qualified specialist.
Women's orthopedic shoes are made in specialized factories according to individual measurements and casts. In this case, you can be confident in the high quality of the result: the shoes will not only fit your feet perfectly, but will also provide comfort and the best treatment result. An orthopedic doctor can advise the address of the factories.
At the moment, there are orthopedic salons that sell model orthopedic women's safety shoes. If orthopedic shoes or boots are needed only for prevention or there are minor irregularities in the structure of the feet, you can buy everything you need in such stores.
An important point when choosing is the material of manufacture. Typically, genuine leather or suede is used; for summer models, cotton is used. Preference should be given to natural materials, since products made from them do not cause sweating of the feet, and calluses do not appear even after long wear. Good orthopedic shoes should have an elastic toe cap. Otherwise, the fingers will be squeezed and change shape over time.
Another important factor is sizing. Summer orthopedic shoes for flat feet are chosen in such a way that there is at least 0.5, and sometimes 1 cm between the toe and toes. Winter boots and low shoes can be safely taken a size larger, since then it will be possible to put on warm socks in cold weather .
If you have a hallux valgus, or “bunion,” the therapeutic shoe should be chosen so that it is larger than the usual size. Sizing should be based on the size of your larger foot, as many people have slightly different left and right leg lengths. The width should be sufficient.
When choosing, it is important to pay attention to the height of the heel. It is preferable to choose models either with a small heel (4 cm or less) or on a small platform. Then the load on the legs will decrease, and the risk of swelling will decrease. Having chosen a model, you need to walk around a little, assessing its convenience. If the shoes are too tight or there is discomfort, then you should choose another pair.
There is a classification of orthopedic shoes based on the diseases for which the products are intended to treat.
For inflamed finger joints, shoes are selected according to certain rules: at least half a size larger, so that there is no discomfort for the toes. It is recommended to choose shoes at a certain time, at the end of the working day, when your feet are slightly larger. Models must have a rigid heel that will fix the foot in the correct position and provide optimal load. Despite the fact that there are now stylish shoes with narrow toes and high heels, it is not recommended to purchase them: the maximum heel height should not exceed 5 cm.
Hammer toe occurs after wearing tight shoes for a long time. Therefore, the main requirement for orthopedic safety shoes is sufficient width. Shoes with narrow toes are contraindicated. There should be at least 1 cm from the toe to the tip of the longest toe. It is better to choose summer shoes with wide belts that will not rub or press.
Diabetes causes decreased sensitivity in the nerve endings in the fingertips. Blood circulation deteriorates, as a result, all wounds heal very slowly. Fungus may appear on the feet as foot sweating increases. Therefore, safety shoes for diabetic patients must have a sufficiently comfortable and durable front part that will protect against injury. Another requirement is a lining to absorb excess moisture.
For orthopedic safety shoes, it is recommended to purchase additional orthopedic instep supports. This is one of the main recommendations of orthopedic doctors.
There are separate requirements for orthopedic insoles:
It is not recommended to buy orthopedic safety shoes without special insoles. But it is quite possible to purchase insoles without purchasing shoes. This solution may be optimal for those who are not yet able to part with their favorite shoes or boots. Although if they are already old, worn out and deformed, then it is still better to throw them away. Orthopedic insoles will make your favorite “non-therapeutic” shoes safer. Insoles help prevent the development of flat feet, foot deformation, provide stability and good shock absorption.
Some models of instep supports have an ultra-high frame. Due to this, they reduce the load on the spine and joints: hip, ankle and knee.
