What happens when children wear shoes that are too small?

from Der SOLE RUNNER® Barfußschuh Podcast · host Thorsten Ludwig

In diesem Podcast sprechen wir über viele spannende Themen rund um Barfußschuhe und barfusslaufen. Es geht um die Vorteile des natürlichen Gehens, um Fußgesundheit, um typische Fehler beim Schuhkauf, um den richtigen Einstieg in Barfußschuhe und auch um praktische Fragen aus dem Alltag. Welche Barfußschuhe passen zu welchem Fuß? Worauf solltest Du achten? Wie gelingt die Umstellung? Und was sagt eigentlich die Wissenschaft dazu?Ich werde hier nicht nur Wissen weitergeben, sondern auch meine persönlichen Erfahrungen mit Dir teilen. Als Gründer von SOLE RUNNER® beschäftige ich mich seit bereits über 2 Jahrzehnten intensiv mit Barfußschuhen, mit Passformen, mit Bewegungsfreiheit und mit der Frage, wie Schuhe unsere Füße unterstützen sollten, statt sie einzuengen. Der Schuh soll sich dem Fuß anpassen - nicht umgekehrt.Shoes that are too small can cause foot deformitiesChildren’s feet are soft, sensitive, and still forming. When shoes press on the foot, are too short, or squeeze the toes together, this can lead to long-term misalignments such as hammer toes or hallux valgus.These changes can be painful and, in the worst case, cause problems for a lifetime.Shoes that are too tight can restrict natural growthChildren’s feet are constantly growing. When they are restricted by shoes that are too small, the foot cannot develop naturally.Your child’s natural urge to move is limited. The toes cannot work freely, the foot cannot spread properly, and the muscles are used less actively.Shoes that are too small can affect circulationWhen shoes are too tight, blood circulation in the feet may also be affected. This can lead to cold feet and can have a negative effect on overall foot health.Especially for children, it is important that the feet are well supplied so they can develop in a healthy way.SOLE RUNNER Online Shop: https://www.sole-runner.com/Wissenswertes um unsere Barfußschuhe: https://www.sole-runner.com/inhalte/WissenswertesYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@SoleRunnerBarfussInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/solerunner_barefoot_shoes/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/solerunnerminimalfootwearPinterest: https://de.pinterest.com/sole_runner/
