I+D+i
We take care of your children’s feet.
An optimal shoe adapted to the true needs of a constantly growing foot.
Our MISSION is to contribute to the best child development, through technological innovation of the biomechanics of the growing foot, sharing what we know how to do best,
SHOES FOR CHILDREN
RESEARCH. THE SCIENTIFIC BASE
We researched along with the IBV how the shape of children’s feet evolve, taking into account the instep, plantar arch and growth rates. The conclusions of the study provided us with scientific evidence to design friendly footwear that adapts to each stage of the foot’s growth.
Definition of the different stages of development in walking.
LOCOMOTOR SKILLS: Acquisition of control of postural balance, learning and development of crawling. Standing upright,
short or long periods unaided and independent stable gait. Sitting up.
FUNCTION OF THE FOOT: Sensorial, exploratory organ and supporting element.
FUNCTION OF FOOTWEAR: Protection against the cold and mechanical injuries, allowing the child´s physical and motor development.
REQUIREMENTS: Flexibility for foot mobility. Toe grip for propulsion when crawling. Stable base for better balance and friction to the ground to prevent slipping. Very lightweight.
LOCOMOTOR SKILLS: Development of gait. Greater and more varied physical activity.
FUNCTION OF THE FOOT: Supporting element in greater and varied physical activity.
FUNCTION OF FOOTWEAR: It adapts to the shape and movement of the feet, offering a range of functional features.
REQUIREMENTS: Light and flexible footwear. It should allow adjustment and support the foot. It should provide stability and moderate shock absorption, ensure adequate friction with the ground and optimal breathability. They should be resistant for intensive use.

FRIENDLY FOOTWEAR ADAPTED TO EACH STAGE ACCORDING TO THEIR NEEDS
Biomecanics are manufactured with elements that are phthalate, chromium and nickel-free, using water-based glues.
In the designs, we have eliminated small removable parts that could be dangerous for little ones.
Complying with toy legislation.
BIOGATEO:
Proporcionan confort térmico y mecánico (sin presiones ni rozaduras) para proteger al pie en entornos no controlados.
Lo más parecido a andar descalzo, no interfieren en el desarrollo físico y motor del pie.
ANTIBACTERIAL REMOVABLE FLAT INSOLE.
Completely flat, since the baby has not yet developed the plantar arch at this stage.
As it is removable, it allows the shoe to aerate, and facilitates taking foot measurements..
FLEXIBILITY AND OWNERSHIPspan>
The sole faciliitates the movement of the foot in all directions: flexion, dorsiflexion and torsion so as not to limit the foot’s mobility and allow the transmission of stimuli.
FRICTION
The grooved design of the sole in the metatarsal area provides adequate grip to allow momentum when crawling.
STABILITY
The soft stabilisers and the extra wide hell base, allow babies to control the medial-lateral movements of their feet and to keep their balance when taking their first steps.
This innovation eliminates the need for internal reinforcement or support that restrict ankle movement.
FIT
Our Velcro fastening system prevents chafing and allows the shoe to be adjusted. The padded tongue prevents excessive pressure on the top of the foot
In the designs we eliminate the small removable parts that could be dangerous for the little ones. Complying with the regulations of the toy law.
BIOEVOLUTION:
Resistant and comfortable footwear for continuous use whose last adapts to the morphological characteristics of children’s feet by means of the 3D anthropometric data of the European child population.
EVOLUTIONARY LAST
Feet do not grow at the same rate in different stages. Bioevolution’s evolutionary last takes these variations into account by providing footwear that adapts easily to the foot’s growth.
FLEXIBILITY
The sole with its flex and friction grooves allow flexibility in the maturation of the gait.
STABILITY
The soft stabilizer and the wider base at the heel get smaller in size when the child’s gait is consolidated.
WEAR AND TEAR
The wear patterns of shoes in children of these ages have been analysed and a reinforced toe cap has been designed to resist scrapes.
RESISTANT
We analysed the most common wear patterns to design footwear capable of withstanding intensive use while providing great freedom of movement.
FIT
Our Velcro fastening system prevents chafing and allows the shoe to be adjusted. The padded tongue prevents excessive pressure on the top of the foot.
Developed along with the IBV (Biomechanics Institute of Valencia)
At Biomecanics we conduct ongoing research along with the Biomechanics Institute of Valencia. During the design and development phases, we use 3D anthropometric databases of the European child population in order to adapt the shape and dimensions of our footwear to the shape of children’s feet.
In addition, we carry out studies on movement patterns and analyse the interaction of the foot with the ground so we can determine which are the areas of greatest wear on the sole and adapt them to the different stages of growth.
The result of this collaboration is children’s footwear that adapts to the morphological characteristics of the child’s foot and that evolves with it at each stage.
It ensures the correct development of the child’s motor skills, without losing sight of something very important. Optimal footwear adapted to the real needs of a foot in constant growth.

Founded in 1976, the Biomechanics Institute of Valencia (IBV) is a technology centre dedicated to studying the behaviour of the human body and its relationship with products, environments and services that people use.
To achieve this, the IBV combines knowledge from both biomechanics and ergonomics or emotional engineering.
Biomecanics collaborates with the Spanish Association of Paediatric Nursing, an institution dedicated to caring for the health and lives of children. Founded in 1987 by professionals who share their knowledge and concerns on a regular basis.
Our colllaboration with AEEP provides us with the best source of inspiration and information: which encourages us to innovate in the development of each new model.
