Buy Children’s Orthopedic Shoes
A child’s feet begin to form with their first steps, and this process continues until about six years of age. Poorly chosen shoes can lead to various issues. To prevent this, caring parents should buy orthopedic shoes early on to provide reliable support for their child’s feet and prevent deformities or related health problems.
The best solution is custom-made children’s orthopedic shoes! Specialists at the Prosthetic and Orthopedic Care Center «Tellus» will create footwear tailored to your child’s individual characteristics.
Unfortunately, many modern manufacturers prioritize fashionable and visually appealing designs over functionality. This often results in shoes that cause discomfort and hinder proper foot development.
Doctors recommend purchasing children’s orthopedic shoes as soon as your child begins taking their first steps. Such footwear supports proper posture formation from an early age and reduces the strain on the spine and joints.
Custom-made shoes offer comfort and natural development for your child. At our center, you can order two types of orthopedic footwear: preventive and therapeutic.
Features of Preventive Orthopedic Shoes
Wearing preventive orthopedic shoes consistently from an early age ensures proper foot formation. This type of footwear should be worn from as early as eight months until the age of six.
Important! No medical prescription or referral is needed to purchase preventive orthopedic shoes.
Preventive footwear has the following characteristics:
- Elastic and resilient soles that provide cushioning during walking.
- A closed toe box that protects the toes without squeezing them;
- An extended and elevated heel counter to stabilize the heel bone and foot in the correct position.
- Adjustable straps, laces, or velcro to secure the foot and ankle properly.
Features of Therapeutic Orthopedic Shoes
Therapeutic orthopedic shoes can only be prescribed by an orthopedic doctor after a thorough examination. The doctor will assess the degree and type of foot deformity and recommend the appropriate footwear.
We manufacture two types of therapeutic shoes:
- Antivarus Shoes: These feature a rigid, extended heel counter to correct clubfoot or curved feet.
- Antivalgus Shoes: Designed to correct flat-valgus foot positioning, these shoes are equipped with an inward or straight last and extended bilateral stiffeners.
Caring parents strive to surround their children with the right things from the earliest days to protect their health. We are always ready to assist you in selecting the best footwear for your child. For over 20 years, our center has been producing children’s orthopedic shoes using state-of-the-art equipment and extensive expertise.
