What fabric should be in school uniforms and why should children wear shoes with heels, the country's chief sanitary doctor, Zhandarbek Bekshin, said at a briefing in the Central Communications Service, Zakon.kz reports.

 
- The form must be made of natural fibers. This is primarily cotton, wool, linen, silk. And if we do not take this into account, children will feel constrained, air permeability, hygroscopicity, electrostaticity will be disturbed, clothes should breathe. The shape should be comfortable, not restrict movements. The content of natural fibers in the outer layer of the mold, as well as viscose should be at least 35%, and in the inner layer of at least 100%. Such clothes will meet all hygiene requirements. We will also avoid the appearance of various allergies, said Bekshin.

Speaking about shoes, the chief medical officer drew attention to the fact that it should be made of genuine leather and heels. In removable shoes, which should also be mandatory for the child, a heel should also be present.

- The heel should be 3–3.5 cm, but not more than 4 cm. If children wear shoes without heels, this is fraught with the development of flat feet. You can’t use  sneakers for replaceable shoes, ”he said.

In addition, Bekshin recommended that parents buy sports shoes for their children in accordance with their sports and seasonality.
