New York - IVPD - For feet's

locks for your children.
many parents apparently
aon t pay as much attention
to this down-to-earth problem
as thev should
Recent studies by the Na
tional root Health Council
show that 85 per cent of the
girls and 65 npr mnt rr
boys in high school have foot
aeiecis.
Dr. Joseph Lelyveld, chair
man of the council, sairt thai
nearly all the defects and de-
iormities could have been
prevented if children wore
both shoes and hosiery that
fit properly.
Not surprisingly, most foot
troubles are caused by wear
ing improper and poorly fit
ting socks and by wearing
outgrown shoes.
Deformities Developed
Lelyveld said the result is
that children develop deform
ities of the toes, weak feet
and large joints.
"These defects frequently
become major deformities in
later life, causing discomforts
ranging from headaches to
symptoms of arthritis," he
taid.
As the foot experts figure
It, a child's foot is not com
pletely formed until after the
age of 18.
"Understand this," Lelyveld
aid, "you can see how little
feet can easily be mis-shaped
by socks that are tight at the
toes."
In select
for your children's feet, the
expert said, you should con
sider the following points:
-A shoe should havp a fw.
ible sole: It should provide
adequate support under the
arch and fit snugly but not
tightly around the heel. In
fitting the shoe, there should
be the width of the adult
thumb between the end of
the toe and the end of the
shoe.
-To eliminate pressure on
children's toes, caused by
tight socks, a sock that is one
half inch- longer than the
longest toe should be worn.
-Bulky socks, especially in
tight fitting shoes, tend, to
produce irritations which fre
quently result in calluses,
or blisters. Generally, bulky
socks absorb moisture very
well but evaporate it very
poorly. '
-Socks selected should be
capable of keeDins the fppt
dry under conditions of heat,
cold, dampness and perspira
tiorl indun:d bv the extremr
activity of children.
-Ihe socks should be of a
yarn that has the three-fold
caDacitv of hieh nhsnrhi-nnv
adequate porosity to allow air
lo circulate around the feet,
and a wicking ability to con
duct perspiration to othpr
portions of the socks where
u win oe easily evaporated
by more even moisture distribution.

shoes and socks should be
examined frequently to be
sure that the child's foot has
not outgrown either socks or
shoes.
Should you allow your
children to run around in
their barefeet?
"Let's go back lo the In
dians for the answer to that
question,"1 Lelyveld said.
The braves went bare
footed, but always on soft
ground, sand or grass. Our
feet need protection from
the modern hard surfaces of
floors and pavements.
"Shoes give you that pro-
lection."
