Improperly fitted shoes cause discomfort. In addition, it can harm the health of a small pedestrian. Calluses and leg pain are just a few of the problems associated with wearing oversized shoes. The truly frightening consequences are foot deformities and poor posture. To avoid trouble, you need to determine which shoe size is right for your child.
Instructions
Step 1
Place a piece of paper on the floor and ask your child to stand on it. The distance between the legs should be at least 10 cm. Thus, the load is evenly distributed on the feet, so that the measurement will be accurate. It is advisable for the child to be in socks at this time, since most types of shoes are not worn on bare feet.
Step 2
Draw the outline of the feet with a pencil. Keep your pencil upright and keep it in contact with your foot throughout the tracing process.
Step 3
Using a measuring tape or ruler, measure the distance between the tip of your thumb and heel on the drawing. It is important to take measurements of both feet, as their length may, albeit slightly, but differ.
Step 4
The largest of the values obtained is used to determine the exact size of the leg. Round it up to the nearest multiple of 5 mm.
Step 5
Correlate the obtained value with the dimensional grid, which corresponds to GOST. It is on her that most manufacturers make children's shoes. When choosing nursery shoes, be guided by the following dimensional grid: a foot length of 95 mm corresponds to size 16 of the shoe; 105 mm - 17; 110 mm - 18; 115 mm - 19; 125 mm - 20; 130 mm - 21; 135 mm - 22. Small children's shoes are produced in the following sizes: foot 145 mm corresponds to 23 sizes; for a foot of 150 mm, buy size 24; 155 mm - size 25; 165 mm - 26. Sizes of preschool shoes: for a foot length of 170 mm, size 27 is suitable; 175 mm - size 28; 185 mm - 29 sizes; 190 mm - size 30; 195 mm - size 31. And finally, school shoes: for a foot length of 205 mm, size 32 is needed; 210 mm - 33; 215 mm - 34; 225 mm - 35 size.
