Why is it important to choose the right size for kids' shoes?

Having properly fitting shoes is important for everyone, but especially for children whose feet are still growing and developing. Shoes that are too small can cause discomfort, blisters, and even deform the feet. On the other hand, shoes that are too large can lead to tripping and affect the child's gait. By using a kids foot measuring tool, you can ensure that your child always has shoes that provide support and room for healthy growth.

How to use a kids foot measuring tool?

Measuring your child's feet with a foot measuring tool is simple and quick. Follow these steps:

1. Have your child stand with their full weight evenly distributed on both feet.
2. Place your child's foot on the measuring tool with the heel against the back edge.
3. Check that your child's longest toe (which isn't always the big toe) isn't touching the end of the measuring tool.
4. Read the size indicated on the measuring tool.
5. Measure both feet, as they may differ in size.

Remember that children grow quickly, so measure their feet regularly - at least every three months up to age three, and then every six months until they stop growing.

Tips for choosing the right size and style

In addition to measuring the feet, there are a few other things to keep in mind when choosing shoes for your child:

• Ensure there's a finger's width of space between the toe and the end of the shoe to allow room for growth.
• Check that the shoe fits snugly around the heel without slipping.
• Choose shoes with flexible soles that bend at the toes to promote natural movement.
• Avoid shoes that need to be "broken in" - they should be comfortable from the start.
• Let your child try on the shoes and walk around in them to see if they're comfortable.
