Basic rules for measuring the length of the foot

For many parents it can be very difficult to determine the size of a child's leg. The most frequent mistakes are:

• Parents ask the children if their shoes are shaking. But children are not so sensitive in this respect and often answer incorrectly. Their opinion mostly depends on the color and shape of the shoes.

• Applying the sole to the child's foot. It is important to remember that the inner length of the shoe is smaller than the outer one.

• Trying to stick a finger between the foot and the back of the shoe. In this case, the child can pinch his fingers.

In the period from one year to three children have the size of the legchanges on average every two or three months. With age older (from three to six), measurements are taken every four months. In older children - every six months.

In small children, measurements are made usingroulette or rope, which is later compared with the ruler. The older child has measurements done when he is standing. Measure the length of the two legs, as the values ​​may vary slightly. It will be right to buy shoes for a larger number or to find an average (add two results and split in half).
