Comparative Analysis of Foot Temperature Associated with the Use of Sports and School Footwear in Children Aged 9 and 10 Years

Background/Objectives: Children’s footwear plays a key role in foot protection and development, influencing both mechanical and thermal comfort. However, there is limited evidence on how different types of footwear affect foot thermoregulation in the pediatric population. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to analyze the thermal pattern of the pediatric foot and to compare temperature differences in plantar and dorsal regions following the use of school and sports footwear.
