The international foot care expert Bastien Gonzalez is on a mission to change the way society looks at feet – starting with his very youngest clients to avoid the problems that poor care can create over time. Foot problems are not reserved for ladies wearing high heels and for sport players. According to Gonzalez, it is essential to prevent potential issues developing at an early stage due to supination or pronation of the foot. When the cause is genetic, early detection is essential to avoid problems from getting worse. Between the ages of 5 and 14 years old, for instance, foot workouts and professional insoles can help to alleviate the pain and improve the situation.

Bastien Gonzalez commented, “The importance of foot care from the youngest age is indispensable. There is an increasing trend of foot and backbone issues from the early childhood, for example, Vertebral Scoliosisos is often spontaneous, it may be due to irregularities of foot and a wrong walking posture in the long-term. A pair of custom-made BGA InSoles would allow daily rectification while there are several foot fitness essentials that one should follow.” Professional foot care advice will include professional recommendation of what shoes to purchase. Expensive shoes do not necessarily mean better shoes; it is important to know how to select a brand that combines performance and lightweight with different foot shapes.
