Sometimes, when buying clothes or shoes, we face a number of specific problems. One of them is the difference between the sizes of wardrobe items from different manufacturers. Even knowing exactly the size and volume, it is not recommended to purchase clothes without trying on. The hardest thing with things for kids. Every mother agrees that carrying a child with him in order to choose nice and comfortable boots or a winter jacket is not an easy test.
The harm of saving
That is why, when buying things for kids, you must have their size with you. These data are useful not only in order to free the child from shopping torture, but also for moments when the baby is not nearby.
It is worth noting that each manufacturer’s own dimensional grid of shoes . At first glance, the differences do not seem significant. But even a difference of half a centimeter can greatly harm the formation of the baby's foot. For example, having decided to save money and buy shoes “for growth”, parents will inevitably see the result of their savings: the shuffling gait of their beloved child. In Europe, in many stores it is forbidden to sell shoes that are close to or large by more than 1.5 cm. Provided that the child who purchases boots or boots is in the store.
Choosing shoes
Any correct children's dimensional grid of shoes (regardless of the manufacturer) takes into account that the insole should be several millimeters longer than the child’s foot. By the way, this applies not only to babies. Many adults also like to try on shoes that are not their size, relying only on the centimeter value of the sole of shoes, boots or sneakers. It is worth noting that improperly selected shoes can cause the development of further flat feet in the child. This applies primarily to tight shoes. Also, the presence or absence of a heel affects the formation of the correct gait of the baby. The desire of many girls to wear shoes "like mom's" can also adversely affect not only the development of the foot of the future lady, but also on her posture. At the moment, the children's dimensional grid of shoes and its adult counterpart are constant attributes in every store that respects its customers.
Given all of the above factors, it should be firmly remembered that, even knowing exactly the length of the baby’s legs from the thumb to the heel, when choosing shoes, you should still be guided by such a device as a children's dimensional mesh shoe.
So that the leg "breathed"
As mentioned above, different manufacturers have different sizes of products. In order to understand exactly what size shoes should be purchased, you need to know the foot length of the baby. In the case when the child cannot be present at the direct fitting, the value of this indicator must be calculated in advance. To do this, in the evening, when the baby’s legs are already tired and steamy, we put on the baby’s socks and put on a sheet of cardboard or thick paper. Then gently circle the feet. After that, we measure the distance from the thumb to the extreme point protruding on the heel. This is the length of the foot. Moreover, any dimensional grid of children's shoes (Bambini, Kuoma, etc.) will show the compliance of this indicator with the size of the shoes, including an additional 0.5-1.5 cm. The distance that is laid in the length of the shoe “from above”, strictly necessary. It is designed so that the leg does not swell, can “breathe”, and the child feels comfortable.
Fortunately for parents, there are manufacturers of goods for the smallest members of society, whose shoes are identical in size to another company. This greatly facilitates the life of mothers and fathers. So, the dimensional grid of children's shoes “Zebra” is similar to the grids of firms “Kotofey” and “Kapika”.
