24.01.2022 Keep your feet at their best and try implementing daily stretch routines. This is easy and the benefits are clear! Why? There are tiny muscles in your feet that move your toes, in between the metatarsal bones, and that keeps your toes from becoming stiff and tight. This can ultimately develop into hammer toes. As you age, those muscles between your toes get weaker, so stretching them can slow down deterioration!

18.01.2022 When it comes to young children, its important to get the right school shoes. With so many brands, styles, fits, and prices on the market, sometimes that can be hard. Our range of Biomechanics school shoes feature both laces and velcro and fit a variety of foot shapes and sizes. Why choose Biomechanics?... Your child needs a shoe that is well-ventilated, with a thick, anti-slip sole and moderate weight. They need a flexible shoe resistant to knocks that allows them to run around freely. Natural materials are recommended on the outside and for the lining, as well as stiffeners to provide stability and firmness to feet that are always on the go. These shoes are easy to slip on/slip off thanks to the velcro system! Why do kids need well-fitted shoes? Well-fitting shoes are vital to a childs rapidly growing feet; children who continually wear incorrect shoes can aggravate inherited foot problems and suffer foot and toe deformities that can last a lifetime. Selecting the right shoes can prevent future problems such as hammertoes, bunions, thickened or ingrown toenails, bruised toenails, blisters, corns, and bursitis.
