"The process of correcting foot deformities is quite lengthy." Let's say you're reading this and don't feel any particular emotions. But what if it's like this: "Your child has flat feet! The treatment is effective, but quite lengthy." Quite a different feeling, right? Flat feet are not a mild cold that can be overcome in five days. Various means are used to combat this deformity, such as massages, therapeutic exercises, and special shoes that hold the foot in the correct position. This war should not stop at any time of the year. Having entered the battle with flat feet in the summer, you continue it in the fall, and with the onset of cold weather, the sandals and sneakers that promote treatment must be replaced with children's winter orthopedic boots.
Each time, choosing a new pair for children to help in the fight against deformation, parents invariably ask themselves: how to choose? how to buy? which boots will be effective in treatment? This is what we will talk about today.
The right seller is a guarantee of success
First of all, you need to buy new shoes from real manufacturers of orthopedic shoes. It is no secret that today many sellers, in order to increase the percentage of sales, without any twinge of conscience attribute orthopedic properties to not the highest quality models, thereby deceiving inexperienced buyers ... In comparison with special shoes, "impostors" can win only in terms of cost. Although this is a controversial issue, given how often a blatant dummy is priced disproportionately to the quality. So get ready for the fact that the prices for corrective shoes will be higher than for shoes for everyday wear. Especially if these are winter orthopedic boots, since they simply take more material :)
Children's orthopedic boots must pass the test
There are specific signs by which you can distinguish special shoes for the treatment of flat foot deformation.
Thomas heel is a specially shaped heel, elongated on the inner side. This helps to correctly distribute the load on the foot and supports it in the middle section.
Longitudinal instep support - you can easily feel the bulge on the insole in the middle section of the foot on the inner side with your fingers. Paired with a Thomas heel, the instep support effectively unloads the foot, accustoming it to the correct, healthy position. Often, high-quality shoes use a longitudinal-transverse instep support of a combined type. In this case, you will find another bulge in the front part of the insole, slightly closer to the middle from the place where a person rests when standing on tiptoes.
The rigidity of the parts in the heel part and on the sides towards the middle (in the ankle boots). The reinforced structure fixes the heel, preventing it from "walking" back and forth, otherwise the presence of a special heel and the correct insole will be absolutely useless.
Sufficient width in the toe area - the toe should not be squeezed in any way.
Fasteners that securely fix the foot in the shoe in at least three areas - this way you can accurately adjust the fit in the instep, and the boot will sit properly.
Another sign of orthopedic shoes is their height, since not only the hard, but also high boots. So, the purpose of the shoes can be accurately guessed, say, by sandals. However, in winter, most shoes are high - here the design is determined not by treatment standards, but by weather conditions.
Children's winter orthopedic boots 4Rest-Orto: mini-review
Here, in fact, they are in front of us. Visually, the boots look solid and reliable. Often, such shoes have a significant drawback - they lose their quality, quality and natural materials due to their noticeable weight. However, when you weigh the boot in your hand, you are amazed: the eye has estimated it with an error, in reality the shoe is lighter than you expect (a half pair of size 33 weighs 412 grams).
The boots are made of genuine leather, as evidenced by the tag on the sole. But even without the tag, you will unmistakably determine the high-quality leather. The use of materials is combined: the toe and heel area are reinforced with nubuck, the sides and the top of the shaft are made of soft and pleasant to the touch suede.
The heel and ankle boots are quite rigid, the Velcro fasteners hold the foot perfectly, fixing it from the instep to the top of the shaft. The test drive showed that the rigidity does not restrict movement in any way and does not make the boots uncomfortable. The child's gait in the shoes does not change, he feels comfortable.
The outer lines are even, stitch to stitch, in general, the model looks very neat.
The boots are insulated with natural fur. From the inside, the foot is not subject to discomfort due to voluminous seams or sewing errors due to the absence of such.
On the insole under the fur, you can feel the bulges of the longitudinal and transverse arch support.
The tongue is wide enough, which allows you to put on boots on a full foot.
The durable polyurethane sole is made impeccably, the threads do not stick out, the shape is cast without a single unevenness.
There is a Thomas heel.
Made in Turkey.
I liked that the boots, as expected of new shoes, smell like glue. The smell is not sharp, without cloying admixtures of fragrances, and not so rich that you do not feel the characteristic smell of leather.
Summary
Winter orthopedic shoes and boots 4Rest-Orto are designed for children with foot deformities, such as flat feet or flat valgus. There are no contraindications, the main thing is that the child's diagnosis corresponds to the purpose of the selected model. There are no restrictions on wearing: if the weather is suitable - quickly put on your shoes and go for a walk / play snowballs / run, and the boots will work on the problem at this time.
Comparing corrective shoes 4Rest-Orto with shoes from other manufacturers, we will not scold others or praise ourselves. It is enough that
- the design of the model and the shape of the instep support are developed taking into account the recommendations of a specialist, moreover, the longitudinal-transverse instep support is made according to the model of one of the best manufacturers of European orthopedic shoes;
- high-quality materials were used in production, including genuine leather and fur;
- we worked on each model, approaching the issue with the scrupulousness of a perfectionist, we know every seam and bulge in it; we know what it is intended for and how it works, and we don’t doubt our products for a second;
- our shoes are recommended by orthopedists.
When conducting a test drive, we honestly looked for cons. Found one: these comfortable and warm boots can only be worn when it's cold :) And when winter ends, you'll have to put on something lighter :) For example, orthopedic sneakers for children or sandals. But that's a completely different story...
