Keynote: Children’s Footwear, Not Just a Fashion Item
The children’s footwear market is estimated to reach USD$59.2 billion by 2025.
Parents are bombarded with messages about children’s footwear shape, hardness, and fit, and how these factors impact their child’s health, social and physical development, participation and future foot health.
This presentation will explore what footwear features different groups believe are important to children’s foot health, and which of these beliefs about features are founded on evidence or folklore.
