How to measure your child's foot
It's time for paper and pencil! The easiest way to measure your child's foot is by having them stand with their foot flat on a piece of paper. It's important that the child's full weight rests on the foot, so it's stretched out and flat on the paper.
Please note, there might need to be some dancing, running, or jumping around before drawing – it makes everything a little easier.
Once the foot is positioned, draw around it and measure the drawing from toe to
heel – voila! Now you have your child's precise foot measurement. From the drawing, you can also get a sense of whether your child has a narrow, normal, or wide foot.
Now you're equipped to compare the different sizes on the webshop. We recommend that you read the measurements carefully, as the centimeter measurements can vary quite a bit from brand to brand.
TIP!
The shoes should fit not just in length, but also in width and height.
Don't buy footwear too big!
Shoes should be bought with a growth allowance of 1-1.5 cm, but no more than that. If the shoes are too big, the child may trip over them and expend a lot of energy keeping them on their feet.
Rubber boots, thermal boots, and ballet flats don't have the same adjustment options as shoes and boots with Velcro straps or laces. Therefore, the growth allowance here should be no more than 1 cm.
