Deputy Chief Doctor of the Khimki Hospital, Narine Sughyan, has given recommendations for choosing school shoes. According to the expert, first and foremost, the shoes should be made of high-quality breathable material. Perforated leather or modern materials with mesh are suitable, she stated. The specialist also advises paying attention to the heel. It should provide good ankle support.
The height of the shoes should be medium, with a heel of two to four centimeters. "The toe box should be wide enough because narrow-toed shoes put pressure on the foot and disrupt blood circulation," added Sughyan.
Earlier, Polina Neverova, the head of the teaching department of the educational company MAXIMUM Education, spoke to the newspaper about how to support a child after transitioning to a new school.
