Samaritan’s Feet International and Northeastern Indiana Credit Union Chapter (NEICUC) recently teamed up to hold the Samaritan’s Feet event for three hundred members of the Boys & Girls Club of Fort Wayne and the Euell A. Wilson Center. The children received new shoes to wear and had their feet washed, moves from the event’s leaders that were intended to spread and share hope. Samaritan’s Feet’s leaders believe that they can show the youth that dreams are achievable. NEICUC financed the event, coordinated the logistics, and recruited over 40 volunteers for the project.
Children need to wear proper fitting shoes to ensure that their feet will grow and develop healthily. To learn more about proper shoe fitting for children, speak to Dr. Mayer Salama, D.P.M.of Salama Foot Care. Dr. Salama will answer any of your questions and help you determine the best fit for your children’s feet.
Proper Shoe Fitting
A common concern when it comes to foot health, having properly fitted shoes can help prevent injuries to the foot. Out feet affect our posture and gait, which in turn affects the biomechanics and overall bodily structure. With 33 joints, 26 bones, and over 100 ligaments, the potential for serious injury is much greater than one realizes. Although the feet cease growth in adulthood, they still change shape as they mature. Here are some factors to consider when it comes to investing in properly fitting shoes:
- Be sure the shoes fit correctly right away
- Ensure the ball of your foot fits comfortably in the widest portion of the shoes
- Even though they may look fashionable, improperly fitting shoes can either create adverse conditions or exacerbate existing ones you may already have
- Walk along a carpeted surface to ensure the shoes comfortably fit during normal activity
