What size shoe should my child wear?
What size shoe should my child wear?
Finding the right shoe size for your child is important for their comfort and foot health. Children's feet grow quickly, so it's essential to measure their feet regularly. To determine the correct size, measure both feet while standing and choose the size that fits the larger foot. It's recommended to leave about a thumb's width (approximately half an inch) of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe to ensure room for growth. Refer to the sizing chart provided to find the best fit for your child's feet.

When should my baby start wearing shoes?
Babies can start wearing shoes when they begin to walk outside or on rough surfaces. Before that, it's best to let them go barefoot indoors or wear socks with non-slip soles to encourage natural foot development and balance. Once they start taking their first steps outside, shoes provide protection from uneven terrain and potential hazards, helping to support their growing mobility. Choosing lightweight, flexible shoes with a wide toe box ensures comfort and freedom of movement as they explore the world around them.
