Keys to Choose Baby’s First Shoes

The form should be straight (if you look from below not distinguish which shoe is right and which the left). Too inclined form, as adults we use, can distort the child's fingers. The toe must be round and closed. Fingers should have enough room to move. If it is mounted on the instep or tongue, better. Thus, the foot but will be subject mobility. It is better than the lining of the shoe does not have seams not to make him wounds and abrasions. The counter in the back must have clamping, without being too rigid. It will come just above the heel, not above, so that the ankle to flex. It is recommended that the shoe sole child has a multidirectional drawing so that is not easily slide. The material must be lightweight and flexible and its thickness should be between 3 and 5 mm. The skin is the best material because it is flexible and allows perspiration, like the girls breathable canvas shoes.

We must prove the child's shoe with socks to style with cute baby clothes and ensure that there is a gap of 0.5 to 1.5 cm between your longest toe and the shoe. Then we pressed the tip at the top to see if the rub fingers (if so, it means that the shoe is too small).

The best time to test the footwear is the end of the day, when the child's feet are more swollen. When try it, you'll stand, so put your weight on both feet. Some parents use a trick: draw a template contour of the foot on a sheet or cardboard, leaving 1 cm between the foot and the silhouette. This template allows them to know the true size of the child, although some podiatrists and shoe manufacturers advise against because warn that is not entirely reliable. We must never buy a shoe more with the idea that it will be worth for longer. If you are out or heel slides, you have to prove another size.
