In the first years of life, feet develop the most, which means that proper footwear has an extraordinary impact on the motor development of our little ones.
During the warm months, we can certainly try to follow the rule: as much barefoot as possible, but footwear is definitely unavoidable throughout the year. Therefore, we must support the quality and natural development of a child's foot with footwear that mimics the barefoot as much as possible — meaning it is soft, flexible, and adapted to the foot arch. This applies not only to children's shoes but also to children's slippers, in which a child spends more than a third of the day. These serve as support for their first steps and all subsequent activities.
The correct shoe size is key to proper foot development.
When choosing, we must not forget how important it is to select the right size of children's slippers or shoes. Otherwise, the footwear will be too small, causing uncomfortable pressure and improper development, or too large, making the child's walking unstable.
Since children are constantly on the move, choosing the right size can be quite a challenge.
But don’t worry, we have a little trick for you to easily determine the size of children's slippers or other children's footwear. Follow our simple guide to measuring your child's foot, which will save you energy, time, and money.
How to choose the right size?
Step 1
Take paper, a pen, and a measuring tape. Place the paper on the floor against a door or wall.
Step 2
Have the child step barefoot on the paper with their heel touching the wall.
Step 3
Mark the tip of the longest toe and the widest point of the foot with the pen.
Step 4
Measure the distance between the marked points on the paper.
Every child develops individually. To determine the right size, it is necessary to measure the foot, but make sure the child’s toes are not curled during the measurement.
Find the measurement in our size chart, which you can find on the product page of the selected item.
