BAMBINI: Made of prime quality, vegetable tanned leather, Bambini is the children"s orthotic developed by orthopedic experts. Foot supports have proved to be extremely useful when it comes to the development of children"s feet. Bambini"s longitudinal arch support keeps the foot in the correct, naturally balanced position. Bambini actively protects the ankle joint. Bambini counteracts deflection and deformation of the longitudinal arch which helps prevent the development of �splayfoot". Bambini is particularly resilient and flexible, allowing the free play of the foot"s muscles thus strengthening them. Bambini has been awarded the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) Seal of Acceptance. Tan leather. Pedag merges 3 elements: Nature, Science and Technology to produce products that are good for the modern foot. Nature is found in Pedag"s use of high quality natural materials such as vegetable tanned leather, pure cotton, wool, sisal, water based adhesives and active carbon and silver ions for odor control. Science is found in Pedag"s use of supportive, anatomically correct footbeds and inserts that support the arches, muscles and ligaments of the foot. Supporting the foot adequately provides a base from which to support the ankles, hips and spine. Pedag orthotics stress Support rather than simple Cushioning. Pedag insoles (orthotic or plain) allow the foot to breathe inside the shoe, keeping feet and shoes fresh. Did you know the foot produces a shot glass of perspiration daily. Insoles that absorb moisture, breathe and prevent odor are necessary for healthy feet. Technology is found in Pedag"s modern manufacturing facilities in Germany (even though much of the production of our insoles is still done by hand), stringent quality controls and introduction of cutting edge technologies such as nano ions of silver for permanent odor prevention in several of our insoles and an innovative new material to insulate against cold.
