“…Only a few of the children were wearing indoor shoes that fit properly, and the fit of their indoor shoes was worse than the fit of outdoor shoes. These results are also in agreement with the findings observed in other studies (Groll-Knapp et al, 2007;Kinz, 2004;Kinz et al, 2015;Klein et al, 2009;Yasin et al, 2014).…”

“…The prevalence of too-short outdoor shoes in this study is in agreement with the data we gathered for European pre-schoolers and elementary school-aged children. There, more than 70% of the children tested were wearing outdoor shoes of insufficient length (Groll-Knapp et al, 2007;Kinz, 2004;Kinz et al, 2015;Klein et al, 2009;Yasin et al, 2014).…”

“…However, the size on the label rarely corresponds to the actual inner length of shoes (Jurca & Dzeroski, 2013;Kinz et al, 2015). In principle, there is a conversion factor for each shoe size defining exactly how long the inside of a shoe of that size needs to be.…”

“…Several studies have shown that 60-90% of children in Europe wear outdoor shoes of insufficient length. The percentage for children with too-short indoor shoes is even higher (Groll-Knapp et al, 2007;Kinz, 2004;Kinz et al, 2015;Klein et al, 2009;Yasin et al, 2014).…”

“…The variability of its shape is a result of various factors, including genetic, environmental, socio-economic, lifestyle and type of footwear worn [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. According to Kinz et al [9] 96-99% of children are born with healthy feet, however, 40% suffer from health problems related to feet in their adult life. The literature in the subject indicates that the reason for this is wearing inadequately fitted shoes during childhood [10][11][12].…”

Background: The human foot is shaped throughout all life in a way that is individual for every human being. Footwear fitting in the process of foot development is the issue covered by a limited range of empirical studies. This prompted the authors to undertake this subject of the study aimed at the influence of fitting of regularly worn inside the school footwear on feet morphology in primary schoolgirls. Methods: The study group comprised 100 girls aged 9. Feet characteristics were recorded by CQ-ST podoscope. The footwear fitting to the feet of the examined girls was tested using the Clevermess device. The data were analyzed based on the Student's t test, Wilcoxon test and regression analysis. Results: Appropriately fitted right indoor footwear was worn by 48% of the subjects while the left one by 43% of the group. Appropriate fitting in relation to the left and right foot width was noted in 23% of the group. The statistically significant combined effect of predictors characterizing footwear on the value of Wejsflog index of the right (p < 0.001) and left (p < 0.001) foot and influence of the length excess on the heel angle of the left foot (p = 0.006) were found. Conclusions: Most examined girls wear poorly fitted indoor footwear. The length excess of the indoor footwear has connections with the Wejsflog index of the right and left foot and the heel angle of the left foot. The larger the length excess, the lower the transverse arch. In the production of indoor footwear the differences in the feet width should be taken into account.

Background Properly fitted shoes can support the development of growing feet and prevent problems and pathologies, not only in childhood, but also in adulthood. This points to the need to conduct research on the impact of shoe fitting on the structure of the foot in order to raise awareness and importance of this problem, to enable proper decisions regarding the purchase and use of shoes. The aim of this study was to analyze indoor footwear fit and its impact on foot structure in 7-year-old schoolchildren. Methods The CQ-ST podoscope and the Clevermess device were used for measurements. The analysis was carried out using the Mann Whitney U test, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, Chi-square test, regression analysis. Results About 40% of girls and boys had shoes that were incorrectly fitted in length, while as many as 74% of girls and 66% of boys wore shoes that were incorrectly fitted in width. Regression analysis demonstrated a statistically significant influence of the footwear length on longitudinal arch of the right and left foot and the transverse arch of the right foot. In boys, the length of the shoes shows associations with the right and left hallux valgus angle. Conclusion A significant percentage of the studied 7-year-olds, regardless of gender, wears inappropriately fitted shoes. In both sexes, the length of the footwear influenced the longitudinal arch of the right and left foot and the transverse arch of the right foot. Due to the deformity of the first metatarsophalangeal joint, the boys with hallux valgus require footwear which is wider and therefore their shoes need to be bigger in size.
