概要	[PURPOSE] This study investigated the relationship between footwear characteristics and motor development in toddlers who walk independently. [PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS] A total of 13 toddlers (mean age: 26.5 ± 4.5 months) were included. Footwear characteristics, including size, presence of a heel counter (HC), and flex point alignment, were assessed. Motor development was evaluated using the Enjoji Analytical Developmental Test. [RESULTS] Improperly fitted footwear was frequently observed. A significant positive correlation was identified between appropriately sized footwear and locomotor development. [CONCLUSION] These findings underscore the importance of properly fitted footwear in supporting optimal motor development in toddlers.
