We spend all our lives visiting specialists for our eyes and teeth, but how often do we think about the benefits of looking after our feet.
A foot has 26 bones (nearly one third of all the bones in the human body), 19 muscles and over 100 ligaments, which can take up to eighteen years to harden to adult form.
But even before they start walking, babies' feet need protection and support, and at each stage of their development, they have different needs.
Ensuring that children have the correct fitting shoe from the day they start to walk, will greatly contribute to the health of their feet during their lifetime.
