Background: Foot skin and soft tissue characteristics such as hydration, pH, elasticity or thickness will vary in response to the loads the foot will bare when the infant starts walking. Previous studies have concluded that infant skin is more hydr... Read More about The characteristics of foot soft tissues in pre weight-bearing infants.

High heeled shoes remain popular, nevertheless it is not clear what influence manipulating characteristics of this footwear has on their functioning. It is accepted that shoe features other than heel height can affect plantar pressures. However, few...
