Abstract: Children's footwear are an important category of footwear products in China. Considering the behavior, abilities, or vulnerability of children, risk identification of children's shoes is particularly important. It can be evaluated through foreseeable use, foreseeable misuse, and unforeseeable misuse, and then effectively identifies nine common mechanical safety risk factors of children's shoes and gives safety design suggestions through the use of internal design measures, protective measures, and user information. Minimize the mechanical safety risks of children's shoes through risk assessment as far as possible from the design stage, can ensure the personal safety of children, improve design efficiency, guarantee the final quality of children's shoe products, reduce economic and reputational losses caused by recalls, and ultimately help improve the productivity of new quality children's shoes.
