The concept of safety footwear is built on years of experience of cooperation of doctors and manufacturers of shoes, as well as on modern scientific developments. Safety shoes - it's comfortable shoes. The main indicator of quality footwear for both children and adults, is the quality of the materials used. From them it depends primarily on:

- The correct position of the legs during walking (orthopedic safety);
- The integrity of the skin, normal blood circulation (health security);
- Hygienic sterility, that is, the property of the shoe to maintain a healthy microclimate unfavorable - the growth of fungi and other microorganisms;
- High physical and mechanical properties that ensure reliability and durability of the shoe.

About 98% of children are born with healthy feet. In adulthood, approximately 40% of them suffer from various diseases of the feet, with 12% of diseases are incurable. The number of orthopedic surgeries is increasing every year.

In the past, children with foot problems arose due to malnutrition and overloads. Today, the only reason is improperly matched or substandard shoes.

While wearing incorrect footwear is deformed legs. What do you mean, bad matched shoes? This means that it is either too narrow or too wide, or too pointed. Leg walking ramps to toe and pinched. Especially dangerous is pointed shoes with high heels.

Prefer shoe that is made from naturally occurring materials, such as leather and textiles. These materials should be soft, breathable, moisture absorbent. The most important property of natural materials is their ability to adapt to the anatomical shape of the feet. Textiles can be either from natural fibers (wool) because of the chemical (polyamide), but he should be free to "breathe." The skin can only natural. Waterproof shoes should be made of a special membrane, breathable.
