Over time, winter shoes are worn and can become more free. If you notice that the leg is hanging in the boot, put one more insole, and the shoes will be half a size smaller. The fullness of footwear is divided into wide, medium and narrow. You can not buy a child with a narrow leg shoes with a wide nose: in this case, the load will unevenly lie on the muscles, And if the foot is wide, it will be cramped in a narrow boot. Lifting is the upper part of the foot, passing into the shin. If the leg hardly squeezes (or does not enter at all) in the boot, the zipper is not fastened easily, the footwear is pressed on top of the fold of the leg, which means that the child has a high lift. The best choice in this case - Velcro and laces, with which you can adjust the height of the lift. How to choose a winter footwear for a child - read in our article.
Shoe Repair Parts
Sole. Correct - it is easy to bend: too hard tires, hinders the healthy development of the foot and also slides more than soft. Check the seams by bending the upper part from the sole: the glue should not go anywhere. Choose a sole made of polyvinylchloride (PVC) or thermoplastic elastomer (TPE). Polyurethane is not very suitable for kids: it is colder, at low temperatures it loses its elasticity, and such a sole can break down. Look at the protector. If the pattern on the heel and on the toe is directed in one direction, then the sole is slippery. The drawing should be "versatile".
- Insole. In winter it is more convenient fur. A good insole is not pulled out of the boot, but it is securely sewn or glued. Otherwise, when moving, it will stray and rub.
- The heel is an indispensable element: it forms a gait, prevents the toddler from falling back and generally helps to stand firmly on his feet. A child who does not walk yet (7-8 months) does not need fashion boots at all. At this age it is impossible to correctly apply the winter shoes: the muscles of the legs are still weak and do not allow you to stretch the shoes of the right size. For crumbs it is better to buy fur booties. The heel on the first shoes should not be more than 0.5-1 cm.
The supinator is a soft cushion that supports the arch of the foot; in winter shoes, it evenly distributes the load and protects from flat feet. If there is no instep in the shoe, you can consult a doctor and pick up stitched rigid orthopedic insoles. Backwater - only hard and high. It reliably fixes the heel, develops the foot. The design (style) of shoes, including in the upper part, should be such that firmly hold the leg in the desired position - then when walking, the baby will not tuck it or injure it. The top is best not to choose high, otherwise it will press on soft tissues, and disrupt blood circulation. The good thing about shoelaces is that with them, the upper part of the shoe does not fit too close to the foot, just as it should.
Material part
The best shoes for a small pedestrian are leather boots with natural fur. The skin is plastic, stretches, lets in air and evaporates moisture, the child's leg is comfortable in it, the fur should be natural. Synthetic characteristic shines, has no smell, under it - not skin, and fabric. Shoe made of synthetics, creates a greenhouse effect, disrupts blood flow, weakens the muscles of the foot and ligaments. Check the zipper, velcro. On the skin there should be no wrinkles, wrinkles, stains, damage, rupture of the filiform sutures, etc. But leather shoes have fur in the fur, In a deep drift, it can get wet, and in the room it is hot. Fashionable now snowbuts in the snowdrift will not get wet, but please note that they are not adapted to extreme frosts. This is, in fact, a winter version of rubber boots, only they are made not of rubber as such, but of a durable breathable polypropylene. Inside - a heater of wool or felt felt boots. Often snowbuts are regulated throughout the lifting with a lace, so the legs of any fullness and lift will fit. "They are not filed, they are old," it's not worth buying for growth - they create an incorrect load on the muscles when walking. Modern felted shoes - with heels, soles, orthopedic insoles.
Winter Tricks
Do not wear baby cotton tights and socks: cotton quickly absorbs moisture and causes hypothermia. Choose synthetic - they, on the contrary, take away moisture. You can also use wool with synthetic additives. In vain come mom mama, who pulls on the child ten layers of tights and socks: the leg overheats, sweats, gets wet and freezes. Feel the legs after walking. If they are very warm or wet, the baby is overheated. Continuing in the same spirit, you risk catching a cold. If the shoes are too tight, immobilized fingers and feet freeze; and if very large, then heat quickly leaves it. How to understand that the child is frozen during a walk? Do not be guided by your own feelings: if you are chilly, it does not mean that the child. The child is frozen, if he has a cold skin above his feet, "ice feet". With this misfortune will help to cope with heat-insole, which can be cut into the shape of the foot. And if the legs are cool to the touch (at about room temperature), then the baby is comfortable.
Footwear inherited
Unlike summer shoes, winter boots for the first steps can be taken and used. But there are nuances. First, this option is suitable only for children without orthopedic problems. Secondly, shoes should be in perfect condition. Kids do not have time to carry shoes, because in the cold season you can not walk on the street. Many people do in shoes a couple of steps, and the rest of the time they sit in a stroller. Not trampled sole, back without zalomov, instep without dents, excellent fixation on the leg - you can take such shoes. But it is better to use used boots as a second, replaceable pair in case the first one, the new one, does not have time to dry up, or will require repair. The kid, who only recently took the first steps, is not very suitable. Beautiful, like velvet, it is very impractical - requires careful care and is afraid of moisture. He does not stand a low temperature - the baby's leg can freeze and get wet. The membrane is a thin film that lets the moisture out only, so the leg does not get wet and sweats. But such shoes are suitable only for active kids: if you stand still, the membrane will not work.
