Children's feet: common worries of parents--1

Prof Care Mother Child. 2000;10(2):33-4.

Abstract

Foot health education, e.g. on correctly fitting socks and shoes, should be part of routine child development checks and health interviews from a very young age onwards. Prevention is better than cure! In-toeing is by far the commonest complaint associated with gait. Many of the complaints raised by parents are simply part of normal development.
