How to choose size of children shoes

Kids go through enough shoes that you may want to consider a plan just for their feet. Toddler's feet can grow an entire size or more every three months, and rough-and-tumble play takes its toll. Shopping for kids' shoes, though, doesn't need to be daunting. The key is to keep up with growth spurts by having your child's feet properly measured on a regular basis.

1.Wait wait

Wait to buy shoes until your child starts to walk. Research suggests that children develop healthy, well-developed feet when they learn to walk barefoot. Keep their feet toasty and unrestricted with soft booties or warm skid-free socks. Robeez (robeez.com) makes thin but warm leather moccasins in a range of colors and sizes that actually stay on little crawlers' feet.

2.Find a good Store

When it's time for your baby's first pair of shoes, take your well rested, recently fed child to a quality children's shoe store that stock brands . The best stores have patient and knowledgeable salespeople who are expert at fitting children's feet.

3.Measurement

Have the salesperson measure the length and width of both of the child's feet. Many babies have an extra wide foot and may need a special size.

4.Fitting

Make sure the shoes aren't too big, which can cause a baby to trip. First shoes should be soft and pliable to let new walkers feel the ground.
