- The children's feet grow very fast, and they may need to change shoes every 3 or 4 months.
- 16 months ago, it may be half a yard every four months.
- 16-24 months old, about one yard per half-year.
- Children aged 24-36 months are about one yard long every 8 months.
- More than 3 years old for every 8-12 months.
Your child may not complain that the shoes are not suitable, so you should take the initiative to check if the child's shoes are still fit. Every 2 or 3 months, you should re-measure your child's size and check if your child's shoes are still fit. If it is not suitable, you should give your child new shoes in time.
Be sure to buy the right size don't choose a size that is too big for your baby to wear for a long time.
Composition of shoes.
The material of the upper is preferably a breathable leather canvas or mesh material because the child's feet are prone to sweating, do not buy shoes with airtight materials.
In recent years, the foot-type sneakers are very popular. Friends bought a pair of children. Because of the material problem (non-cotton), they quickly became stinky, and the upper is too soft and almost inelastic very troublesome.
In general, the choice of foot sneakers depends on the material of the upper, the breathability and the elasticity of the shoe.
Once the baby is sweating, the small fat ankle will have a slippery feeling. The organic matter in the sweat is easily decomposed under the action of bacteria. The product after decomposition is acidic. If it is not cleared early, it will irritate the skin and produce an unpleasant smell.
The super-fire caterpillar should be a pair of people, but some mothers think it is not very breathable and may vary from person to person.
If the weather is cold, the airtight shoes can't discharge the sweat in time and there may be frostbite. However, in some special circumstances, such as rainy days or beaches, rubber rain boots and slippers may inevitably be worn. Parents do not have to be too entangled, and occasionally wear them when they are safe.
As I said before, the rain boots must pay attention to the side not too shallow, the following will enter the water
Because the foot is the organ farthest from the heart, the temperature of the skin of the foot is low (the coldness of the hands and feet is normal), and it is more susceptible to frostbite. Therefore, pay attention to the warmth of the shoes in winter.
The uppers of children's shoes should not be too soft, especially the toe caps should have a certain hardness. If it is too soft, it will be difficult to resist the collision of hard objects on the toes, plus the habit of walking with the feet to playthings, the soft uppers are Not strong and not safe. However, the (upper) of the instep should be softer to facilitate the bending of the foot.
In addition to being soft and not hard, a pair of comfortable shoes, the best part of the soul must be in the sole rather than under the arch (about one-third of the sole). That is, when walking, the bent portion of the shoe and the bent portion of the foot should be consistent, and the bending should be relatively easy.
This is pretty good, but compared to other styles, the sole is a bit too thick, and the bending is not convenient.
Also, to ensure that the upper is not pressed to the small fat feet, you can press the upper after the child puts on, and feel there is no space above the toes. If it is a soft material, such as leather, you can try to pinch it and see if you can catch it. If not, it may be too tight. The toe cap is preferably round and wide, and the pointed shoe is not suitable for the baby.
The toe cap should also be high enough to prevent the top of the shoe from pressing the child's toes.
Be some space for the front, left, right, and top of the toes. Let the little toes grow freely.
High-heeled children's shoes should not exist at all.
Choose a shoe that wraps the heel and the heel is stiff enough to provide good support for the ankle. Shoes without heel wraps are very easy to lose when running, which is likely to cause potential damage to children.
In the same way, flip-flops are not suitable for preschool children. If you have to buy them, choose a belt behind them.
If the back of the shoe is too soft, the foot can't get the corresponding support in the shoe, it will swing the foot to the left and right, easily cause damage to the ankle joint and ligament, and may also develop a bad walking posture.
Therefore, the back of the children's shoes should be stiff and wrapped to reduce the activity space of the feet in the shoes. It is better to pinch the heel on both sides so that it cannot be pinched.
For 9-18 months of children who are just learning to walk, it is easier to wear high-top shoes, and the low-cuts may be taken off in minutes.
