The yellow and orange colors of the leaves announce the arrival of autumn, the yellow and tired autumn leaves sit quietly on the ground, to say again that autumn, October, school month, the month of children’s games are on the way; Autumn, the season again, rain with songs, with abundant gems…. It came again with his beauties. A season whose first day always evokes the best childhood memories for us. Unrepeatable and loving memories that remind you to be filled with feelings of joy, freshness, stress and school. It was as if it was only yesterday that we entered the school with a new bag and shoes, with our little hands in our mother’s warm hands. Messenger Good. A few days before the start of school, we prepared with indescribable enthusiasm to buy bags, shoes, notebooks, pencils, and so on.
The smell of freshness filled the whole school space and we ran all over the school yard with new shoes. The beauty of our shoes was always more valuable to us than anything else, and we paid less attention to being standard and considering the health of our body, and in some cases, despite the insistence of our parents to buy the right shoes, they refused to do so. Regardless of their skills, we chose our favorite shoes. A young woman who came to the street with her daughter to buy shoes says about buying school shoes for her daughter:
“I prefer to buy sticky sneakers for my daughter so that they are both comfortable and do not need to open and close the strap.”
I ask her, “Why doesn’t she use leather shoes for her daughter?”
“The price of leather shoes is very high,” he says.
Ms. Zahra Moradi, who came to this street with her high school boy and girl, believes that students should wear comfortable shoes without heels because they spend a lot of time in school, and sports shoes are the best option for them. Is. “I tried very hard to persuade my daughter to buy comfortable shoes for school, but she likes high-heeled shoes to look taller, but my son always does,” she said. He also likes leather shoes because he does not like leather shoes because he is not very attractive to them and I agree with that.
Mr. Ali Karimi, Amir’s father, who is in the second grade of primary school, also says: “When he buys, he leaves his son free to choose bags, shoes and stationery and does not take it too hard. “It’s right for them.”
“I have never thought about buying leather shoes for school,” said Atefeh, who is in her third year of high school.
“Parents mostly like soft shoes, short heels with dark colors, but students do not pay much attention to the quality of the shoes and consider the appearance of the shoes,” said a shoe seller about the choice of school shoes by parents and students. “But the best type of shoes in our opinion is leather shoes, because the students’ feet are comfortable in them and they are more durable than other shoes.”
Students do not pay much attention to the quality of the shoes and consider the appearance of the shoes. Hence, it is more difficult to determine the standard of school shoes than the gold standard.
Mr. Sayed Mohammad Nayebpour, head of the Isfahan Shoemakers’ Union, says:
“With the start of school, male and female students prefer to wear these types of shoes because of the comfort of the sneakers.”
“Sports shoes are produced in two types,” he said. »
The head of the Isfahan Shoemakers’ Union continues by stating that unfortunately none of the shoes available in the market of Isfahan province are standard:
“Having standard shoes is harder than gold standards, and even so far the Customs and the Standards and Industrial Research Organization have not taken steps to standardize the shoes.”
Mr. Nayebpour adds: “According to those who define the standard of shoes, no standard shoes have been imported into the country and the country is not able to import standard shoes. Due to the volumetric changes of the foot during the day, it is necessary to use a shading floor for the comfort of the foot. “Fifty percent of the shoes in the Isfahan market are domestically produced.”
He points out those standard shoes are expensive and says: “Of course, there are currently a limited number of foreign shoe dealers, but we must keep in mind that ordinary people cannot afford to buy these shoes, and only those who are economically well-off can afford them.”
He goes on to say that so far 50 factors have been defined for standard shoes: “So far, not a single factor of these 50 defined factors has been observed in the production of shoes in Iran.”
Noting that shoes are currently produced only in Italy, Norway and Denmark, Mr. Nayebpour adds: “Of course, shoe products in China are also made under the Danish license, and these shoes are also offered at a high price in the market.”
He points to the increase in raw materials for shoe production and says: “Currently, the raw materials for shoe production in Iran have increased by 60 to 70 percent, but fortunately it has not had an effect on the increase in the price of school shoes.”
He added that 50% of the shoes in the Isfahan market are domestically produced, adding that “another 50% enters the province of Isfahan from the provinces of Tehran, Tabriz and China.”
Mr. Hossein Asiayi, a member of the orthosis and prosthesis faculty of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, said that the use of technology in the production of shoes in the country is significant, adding: “Today, most of the shoes in the country are made of synthetic materials.”
“We have to keep in mind that at the moment, most young people and teenagers prefer to use synthetic shoes over leather shoes,” he said, noting that the supply of synthetic footwear is in line with market demand. The faculty member of orthosis and prosthesis of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, emphasizing that the use of leather for the production of shoes is very appropriate, added:
“Using leather shoes, due to the properties of leather, can significantly reduce the air conditioning inside the shoe and the absorption of moisture in the foot.” Mr. Asiayi also pointed out the need for flexibility in the flat part of the shoe, saying, “When buying, school shoes should be chosen that have the ability to be flexible on uneven ground.”
He continued by emphasizing that the heel of children’s shoes should be between one and two centimeters high: “Unfortunately, at present, most children, especially girls, imitate older gaiters with high heels over four centimeters use. “The best type of school shoes in our opinion is leather shoes, because students’ feet are comfortable in them and they are more durable than other shoes.”
A member of the orthosis and prosthesis faculty of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences called shoe lacing the best type of shoe and said: “Due to the volume changes of the foot during the day, it is necessary to use lace-up shoes for foot comfort.”
Mr. Asiayi considered it necessary to use appropriate shoes for special occasions and continued: “The type of shoes should be appropriate to the level in which the activity takes place, but unfortunately among the Iranian people, the culture of using special shoes in every ceremony is still alive. »
He added that when buying shoes for children, at least one centimeter larger than the size of the child’s foot should be chosen: “If the size of children’s shoes is equal to the size of their feet, the foot will face anomalies.” He added: “Given that the feet of children and adolescents are always growing, if the shoes bought for them are exactly the same size as their feet when shopping, there may be anomalies such as toe deviation, hammer arousal. “On the toes, you can see the appearance of corns, blisters and other side effects on children’s feet.”
Mr. Asiai added that the type of shoes is related to the amount and type of activity: “Of course, we should note that standard shoes are not found in the Iranian market and the use of standard shoes depends on the economic situation of the household. If families become aware of the fact that wearing an inappropriate shoe, in addition to having various effects on the body and soul of their children, can also have a negative effect on their academic progress and learning. “They will buy shoes for their children.”
