Many parents are worried about what shoes should be for a child when he starts walking. After all the kid still can not explain to mum, that to him shoe press or rub a leg. We will consider what should be the children's shoes for the first steps.
Which shoes are best for a small child?
In small children, a leg is formed and it is necessary to choose shoes for it that would not interfere with this process. To measure the child the leg should be every two months, so that the shoes bought earlier did not become tight. Shoes for the child should be made from natural fabrics with cotton lining and preferably on leather soles. Shoes with leather soles are suitable for indoor and outdoor use. The sole can be made of polyvinyl chloride, a material with high wear resistance. The heel in the shoe should be high and stiff, and the toe closed so that the toe's foot is well fixed. To reduce the risk of formation in crumb flatfoot, you need a supinator. This is a thickening on the sole, located in the middle. In addition to all this, shoes for the first steps should be as stable as possible, because the kid is just learning the technique of walking.
Autumn and winter shoes for baby
Autumn shoes for the child should be inside not very insulated. The baby's leg should keep warm, but do not sweat. From the inside, it should be leather, outside can be made of artificial leather. To be able to dry the insole, it should not be glued to the sole. The sole should have a supinator. Insulated footwear, which is used at temperatures up to -5 degrees, should be from the inside out of artificial or natural nap. When choosing shoes, you need to take into account that it was slightly larger in size so that you could put on a socks, and also that the leg is less frozen.
Winter shoes should also be slightly larger than the size of the foot, with fur from the inside. Too much shoes can not be worn, as this will make it difficult for the baby to walk. It should be borne in mind that the fur inside is still settling. Also the sole should be firm for the baby and not too slippery. If the footwear for the winter is not leather, then the fur from the inside should be natural, so as to keep the heat as long as possible. The insole must be removed to dry.
It should be noted that the sole can be made of different materials. It is necessary to know that the sole of the poullerite fits to a temperature of 15 degrees with a minus sign. If the temperature in the street is lower than -15 degrees, then such a sole its elasticity loses and can break. For winter children's shoes, the thermo-elastomer sole is a good fit. In shoes on the rubber sole, the legs of the baby will freeze. For children, parents often buy duffle boots for their first steps. But such boots consist of artificial materials well suited for slush, but not for winter, since they can be worn only to -10 degrees, otherwise the legs of the baby will freeze. So that the shoes do not slip, you need to pay attention to the pattern on the sole. Less shoes will slide if the patterns on the heel and toe are "looking" in different directions. This is very important for the first steps of the child, because stability always gives confidence.
What should be summer shoes for the baby
Slippers for home should be with natural lining. The sole is better to choose from PVC, so rubber soled shoes are heavier and not very comfortable. Sandals for the baby is better to choose with a leather insole, it prevents slipping the legs. Shoes for the summer are better to choose with holes, but such that the fingers and heel were fixed. This is to give stability to the child. If the leg is not fixed, the baby will be uncomfortable walking. The load of the body will not be distributed correctly, and this is unacceptable in the case when the baby has just started walking. The presence of a supinator is mandatory. Children should not be worn after another child. Each child has its own features of the foot, with the repeated wearing of the shoe, the legs are formed on the different footwear.
How to try on baby shoes
Shoes a child can not buy too much. The ideal option is one centimeter more than the leg. Large shoes will rub the foot, also the weight load distributed will be incorrect on the feet. Be sure to check the inside of the shoes for seams, gaps. This should not be. Try on shoes only standing, but not sitting, as the legs become wider when the person is standing. Also you need to take into account the fact that in the evening the child has a little more leg, so try on shoes better in the daytime.
