Children’s shoes – what the small feet need

The choice of children’s footwear is not as easy as it could seem. Well-fitted children’s shoes should hold the foot steady but without restraining the child’s movements. Selecting the perfect pair is a problem faced by many parents. Small feet require simultaneously the best possible protection and the optimal support in proper growth. Remember that the parents of children under the age of three should check if the shoes still fit every six weeks, give or take. Above that age, the size changes every four to six months on average.

Bear in mind that children have far more sensitive skin than adults. Therefore, choosing original shoes made of top-quality fabrics is of the essence. Top-of-the-line materials will prevent blisters and unpleasant chafing. Don’t forget that children’s shoes should meet special requirements. Children are active all the time, regardless of the weather and time of year. Therefore, they must have adequate thermal comfort, especially in the autumn-winter season. Opt for top quality and get your children Italian shoes which will encourage proper development of their feet.

How to choose children’s shoes – hints

Contrary to appearances, choosing the right children’s shoes is not a walk in the park. For starters, you need to consider far more factors than when picking footwear for adults. The key is to follow your head, not your heart. As parents, we often simply want our little one to look best, but hand-stitched shoes are not only about the aesthetics. Toddlers taking their first steps need different shoes than children who can easily move around on their own.

Remember to choose the right children’s footwear for the given time of year. Winter usually demands quilted models, summer – open and breathable designs. Regardless of the age and season, fabric quality is of the essence. The fail-safe option that always proves its value is real leather. By adapting to the child’s feet, it encourages the proper development of the feet and, in a sense, the good habits fostering a healthy posture. Children’s footwear has an enormous impact on shaping small feet, so make sure that the first shoes of your child are a perfect fit. Most importantly, children’s footwear should be:

• made of real leather or, alternatively, cotton – the fabric must be durable and breathable at the same time.
• lightweight to ensure freedom of movement. When the shoes are too hefty, the child fails to properly place the feet on the surface, which leads to faulty posture in later years.
• Adapted to the length and width of the child’s feet – size is of the essence. Remember that the child’s toes should not touch the shoe toe. Besides, wearing too wide shoes may cause deformations, as the foot lacks proper support.
• Easy to put on and take off.
• Equipped with a sturdy anti-slip sole to prevent the child from losing balance on a slippery surface. The sole should be flexible, springy, and bend in the right place – at around 1/3 of the shoe length, measured from the front.

How to measure children’s feet?

Parents are often wary of buying children’s shoes online. Needlessly – the whole procedure is a piece of cake! When taking measurements, remember that the child needs to stand with the legs slightly apart to ensure equal pressure on both feet. Position your child’s leg so that the foot touches the wall and then mark the farthest point on the first toe. Grab a ruler and measure the distance from the edge of the sheet to the marked spot. That’s it!
