Choosing the right children's shoes: 9 tips orthopedists and experienced moms
Dear mothers! Before you climb into the Internet or run to the store for children's shoes, you need to remember that the small legs have features. The most important advice of orthopedists and experienced moms is for you!
Small legs have features:
- they often sweat (therefore, especially closed shoes, should have an absorbent liner / insole),
- they like to jump on the asphalt (the sole must have damping properties - reduces the risk of deformation of the foot),
- they like to run a lot - an average of 18-20 thousand steps a day (the weight of shoes is as small as possible, and the flexibility of the sole is as much as possible)
- legs are still forming and growing (good is importantfixation - always a high dense back with a soft roller on top, even with sandals; the top of the shoe should securely fix the foot - laces or velcro - the main thing is to fix it by the ankle).
Special attention is to the arch support. Even if there is no orthopedist's recommendation, it is important and plays a preventive role - it hinders the development of flat feet. The supinator should be exactly in the geylenochnoy excavation of the foot of the child - so it's time to choose the size!
From the tip of the thumb to the edge of the shoeshould be a stock of 1.5 cm, behind (near the Achilles tendon) should be placed the tip of your little finger. The "free" distance will allow the stop to develop correctly (it is convenient to walk, the fingers move and do not rest + "allowance" for the growth during the season).
"Grandmothers are advised to buy two sizes larger"NO! So the foot of the child is not fixed, the arch supports are not used, the child is not comfortable, and by the next season the leg can grow much more than you expected, and you will have to buy shoes again, and so much suffering is in vain ...
On sale are many different models of non-soakingchildren's shoes, however, without rubber boots you can not manage in the spring! Children's boots are usually rubber goloshes and tops of raincoat or other waterproof fabric. A lot of colors and drawings will satisfy the requirements of even the most sophisticated fashionista.
By the way, buying and trying on shoes is better in the evening - stop increasing by about 5-8%.
And the little secret of saving: if you found good shoes in the store - ask to put it off for a couple of hours and look at the same model in online stores ... Often, it helps to save 500-1000 rubles.
Let your thoughts be only spring, and your baby is happy with puddles and heat!
