- Protection of a sock with a hard slip from possible blows.
- A thick sole that gets taller at the heel and bends at the natural fold. There is a tread that prevents slipping.
- Insole with arch support. In the presence of flat feet, the type of arch support should be suitable for the type of flat feet: longitudinal, transverse or combined. In preventive shoes, the arch support repeats the correct anatomy of the foot.
- High back for fixing the ankle.

Any shoes for children should be 1-1.5 cm longer than the foot.
