Understanding the impact of shoes on young children's movement.

Description 
This partnership project with industry seeks to develop a body of work to understand the impact of footwear on young children's feet, movement and gait. In particular, how children walk, run and jump with footwear of different sole hardness. We are also interested in understanding what children value and like about footwear with different hardness.
