“…Individuals who have worn no shoes for extended periods appear to have broader feet, fewer toe and foot abnormalities, a higher foot arch, and lower hallux angles [14,15]. In addition, the flexibility of habitually shod feet is known to be reduced [13][14][15][16][17]. Also, the prevalence of flatfoot was higher in those who started wearing shoes before the age of 6 years.…”

“…Additionally, locomotion activity experience determines lower limb movement control and balance until at least 10 years old. In this long and progressive process, antigravitational postural control, balance and movement coordination require considerable integration of sensorimotor components and motivational intention to drive movement, with higher functions governing that response [ 12 , 16 ].…”

“…There are no procedures for choosing footwear compared to barefoot participants, which is a gap in children’s gait studies [ 1 , 18 ]. It is unknown if the paucity of studies is due to the challenges gait analysis in this age group presents [ 16 ]. Interestingly, none of the footwear selection methods reported in some systematic reviews [ 1 , 18 ] compared the outcomes with barefoot subjects.…”

The technological transformation and advertising utilized in the footwear industry significantly impact purchasing decisions. The gait properties, barefoot and with shoes, change depending on the footwear structure. The aim of this work is the biomechanical analysis of walking barefoot and with different sports shoes in a controlled group of 12 children between 4 and 6 years old. Kinematic and spatiotemporal variables were analyzed using a BTS motion capture analysis system with the Helen Hayes protocol. Previously, a survey was carried out with 262 families with children between 4 and 6 years old to justify the choice of footwear for this study. No significant differences were found between any of the measured conditions. The kinematic results showed significant differences in the ankle (right sagittal plane p = 0.04, left p < 0.01; right frontal plane p < 0.01, left p < 0.01), knee (right and left sagittal plane p < 0.01) and hip (right sagittal plane p < 0.01, left p = 0.04; right frontal plane p = 0.03). Additionally, the post hoc analysis revealed significant differences between barefoot gait and different footwear. The footwear used for this study and each one’s various characteristics are not preponderant in the spatiotemporal and kinematic parameters of the children’s gait. Thus, the footwear purchase may be conditioned by its design or composition and other properties may not be relevant.
