• Children's bones and muscles are still forming. Incorrectly fitting shoes can cause many bone and muscle problems in the foot, this can change how your child walks. 

• Tight footwear may change bone position and strain muscles and ligaments.

• Tight, narrow footwear commonly causes bunions due to the shape of the shoe.

• If your child is having severe pain and in extreme discomfort when walking, look at the fitting of the shoe and ask yourself, "does this shoe fit correctly".

• Seek advice from a podiatrist if your child continues to be in pain.
