Children's size and shoe guide

What should I pay attention to when buying shoes for my children?

When purchasing shoes for children, there are several factors to consider to ensure the shoes fit well and are appropriate for their little feet. Here are a few tips:

1. Fit : Shoes should fit well, not too tight or too loose. Make sure there is enough room for your toes to move freely.

2. Flexibility : The shoes should be flexible and soft enough to allow the feet to move naturally.

3. Closure : Choose shoes with an appropriate closure system that is easy to use depending on the child's age and abilities. Slip-on shoes with elastic inserts make it easy for children to put them on and take them off and encourage their independence.

4. Toe box : Make sure there is enough room in the toe box so that the toes can move freely without hitting the front of the shoe.

5. Durability : Choose good quality shoes that can withstand your child's activities. Children can often put a lot of wear and tear on their shoes, so it's important that they are durable.

What is the easiest way to measure your children's feet?

1. Use a measuring device: A foot measuring device, available in many shoe stores, is an easy and accurate way to measure the length and width of your child's feet.

2. Paper method : Place a sheet of paper on the floor and have your child stand on it. Then trace the outline of the feet with a pen. Then measure the longest part from the heel to the longest toe. Repeat the process for both feet, as they are often different sizes.

3. Ruler : Use a ruler or tape measure to measure the length of the foot from the heel to the longest toe. Make sure your child is standing straight and their weight is evenly distributed during the measurement.

4. Room for growth : When determining the size of the shoes, consider an additional space for the growth of the feet. It is recommended to leave about 0.5-1 cm of extra space in the toe of the shoe.
