Let’s get to know your feet, which are the foundation of your body! IFME, a children’s shoe brand based on the concept of “nurturing the healthy growth of children,” is holding an event at a kindergarten in Tokyo in preparation for “Foot Care Day (Foot (2) Foot (10) Care)” on February 10th. The event raised awareness about feet and the importance of wearing appropriately sized shoes. The day started with a “true/false quiz” about feet, followed by a “shoe fitter experience” where friends measured each other’s foot sizes, and foot training exercises performed by “IFME Big Brother”, an IFME employee. It was a fun event filled with lots of laughter. Event held at Makoto Nishiogi Kindergarten ■Do you know about “legs”? “〇×Quiz” “Feet” is something that we don’t usually pay attention to. First of all, in order to get people interested in their own feet, we will be holding a true/false quiz related to “feet”! In the first quiz about the “size” of feet, by actually comparing them with friends and teachers, students were able to realize the difference in foot size, saying things like, “I’m bigger than you!” and “We’re the same size!” The second question, a quiz about “foot rock, paper, scissors” using the feet, turned into a rock, paper, scissors competition with IFME’s big brother. They were so excited about their first experience that they said, “I can’t do scissors” and “I want to do more!” It seems that they were able to become conscious of moving their legs. Image

At this event, we invited children to experience being a shoe fitter to help them realize the importance of choosing the right size.

Measure your feet and find the perfect pair of shoes. At the end, we handed over the items with smiles on our faces and said, “I want to wear them as soon as possible!” The children looked excited and nervous, but when they put on their white coats, they seemed to stand up a little and did their job well.

Get in line with an “indoor passport” in hand to record your measurement results. Everyone was curious about the measuring equipment they were seeing for the first time. After you have carefully measured your measurements, you will change into IFME slippers. I heard happy voices saying, “It’s cute” and “So fluffy.” ■Let’s move our legs and stay healthy! “IFME Exercises” with everyone The last part of the event was the original “IFME Exercises” devised by IFME. IFME lectures the children on movements that incorporate movements that are effective for foot development, such as arch formation, and gets the children to move their legs and bodies as much as possible. Let’s all try out new movements! She also made an If Me mark with a smile.
