Hi Alka, few things we need to keep in mind while making a choice of shoes for the little ones. - The running shoes have to have an inbuilt arch . While buying the shoes approximate the two ends of the shoe, ideally the sole should be flexible to allow that. - The shoes should never be oversized that makes the kid compromise their gait , which can be harmful for other joints. - In case of girls , shoes with heels is absolute NO, that actually harms their growth plates along the growing joints ,and can also make them susceptible to backaches as young adults. -All kids should have barefoot time everyday, that is great for strengthning of small foot muscles that support their natural arch. I hope you find a solution to what you were looking for , if you have any specific problem you are looking to fix I'll be happy to help. Regards Bhumika Jain. Sent from BlackBerry® on Airtel more
