How to choose a child's shoes so that it does not harm his health, is convenient and practical?!?! What is the shoe size matching table for? I will say right away that it’s not worth buying shoes in advance, because all the children are different and you can’t know what size and fullness will be the pair of the first shoes or boots. For the right selection of shoes for a child at any age, you need to remember the recommendations for choosing children's shoes. First of all, you need to determine the size. At this stage, some difficulties may arise, because there are several systems for determining the size of shoes, depending on the country of manufacture. The Russian or European measurement system is based on an indicator of foot length in centimeters and is called metric. The next size differs from the previous one by about 5 mm. At the same time, imported footwear is manufactured according to a continuous mass measurement system. In other words, the unit of measurement provides not 1 cm, but only 2/3 cm. Recently, it has become very popular to order goods in online stores, it is clear that in this case it is very difficult to determine the correct shoe size. How to understand the sizes of children's shoes ?! There is a special table for matching shoe sizes, including children's shoes.
In order for the size of shoes for the child to come in time, you must first measure the foot of the child. Contrary to the widespread practice of attaching the sole of the shoe to the child’s foot, the foot needs to be measured directly, as different shoe manufacturers leave different allowances in the manufacture of the shoe. In addition, various models also have various allowances.
For the correct measurement of the length of the foot of the child, put on him thin socks and place on a sheet of cardboard. The entire weight of the child should be evenly distributed over two feet. Outline the leg, and then measure with a ruler the distance from the most protruding finger to the most protruding part on the heel. Now to the result we summarize 1 cm - we got the size in the metric system.
Suppose the foot length is 15 cm. 15 + 1 - we get the shoe size 16 for the metric system. Shtikhmassovaya system: add 15 to 15, multiply by 1.5 and get 24 shoe size
In order not to make such calculations each time, a table of conformity of shoe sizes has been created.
It is also worth noting that the United States, Japan, Korea and England have their own dimensional nets of shoes, which are based on the length of the insole, not the foot, as in the Russian system of numbering shoes. To understand the sizes of imported shoes, a table for matching the sizes of children's shoes or a table for translating shoe sizes is useful
Shoes should not be large for the child, so as not to harm his health. Many parents are guided by the choice of size, inserting their finger between the leg and the back of the shoe. The size will not be determined correctly if the fingers are tightened. Also, do not give the right to choose shoes to the child himself in order to avoid acquiring the wrong pair.
Children's shoes are divided into several categories depending on the age of the child. During the first 10-11 years, boys and girls develop at approximately the same speed and the difference in height and foot size is not large, but in adolescence the difference becomes obvious. For children's teenage, and later on, adult shoes, graduation is provided for male and female. The size grid continues from size 35 to 62. The English and American system provides for the division of shoes into categories according to age: for newborns, toddlers, young children, adolescents and adult women's and men's shoes. The numbering does not exceed 13.5. To understand the sizes, a table of conformity of shoe sizes will help.
