| Our kids are growing up in flip-flops and shoes without support. As a result the rear foot is not held in the proper position. The heel bone (Calcaneus) needs to be held vertically for the arch and foot to develop properly.
If the heel is not supported in the vertical position, the arches flatten and the feet develop in the misaligned position. This could create foot, shin, knee, hip, or back problems later in life.
The more active the child is, the earlier some of these problems can create performance and orthopedic issues. |
