During the early years of life, feet develop the most, which means that proper footwear has a significant impact on the motor development of our youngest.
In the warmer months, we can certainly strive to adhere to the rule: as much barefooting as possible, but we cannot avoid footwear throughout the year. Therefore, we must promote the quality and natural development of a child’s foot with footwear that mimics a bare foot as much as possible — meaning it is soft, flexible, and adapted to the arch of the foot. This is true not only for children’s shoes but also for children’s slippers, in which a child spends more than a third of the day. These serve as support during their first steps and all subsequent activities.
The correct size of footwear is crucial for proper foot development.
When choosing, we must also remember how important it is to choose the right size of children’s slippers or shoes. Otherwise, the footwear will be too small, causing uncomfortable pinching and improper development, or too large, making the child’s walk unstable. Since children are constantly on the move, choosing the right size can be a real challenge.
But don’t worry, we have a little trick for you that will easily help you determine the size of children’s slippers or other children’s footwear. Follow our simple guide for measuring a child’s foot, which will save you energy, time, and money.
Each child develops individually. To determine the correct size, it is necessary to measure the foot, but be careful that the child does not curl their toes during the measurement.
Find the measurement in our size chart, which you can find on the individual product page.
