First shoes for the baby: Useful advice on choosing

As soon as the baby begins to take his first timid steps, he will need good shoes. You need to choose it carefully, taking into account many factors. Firstly, the feet of the crumbs are very flexible, since they continue to form. Secondly, the child’s legs have not yet been strengthened, and they already have to load the load of the whole body. Thirdly, the place where the baby will pace is of great importance. Home slippers need to be selected with lungs – made of natural fabric with thin and flexible sole. Not bad if there was a small heel (3-4 mm). Such shoes should have fixators. The shock -absorbing effect will reduce the load on the knees and back of the pioneer in walking. In walking shoes, the sole should be flexible and corrugated. For autumn-winter shoes, dense sole is relevant. The backdrop is necessary hard, but with a softening layer, then there will be fewer bruises, and the leg will be used to be placed correctly. The layer will protect from rubbing. If you take the baby with you to try on new shoes, make an insole and warn the seller about a possible return or replacement of shoes, if it does not suit the child. It is impossible to allow the child’s shoes to be close. From the thumb to the toe should be a distance of approximately 15 mm. If you take a larger size, then only 1 point. Up to 3 years, the child’s leg grows intensively, so it is necessary to measure it every month. It is necessary to try to be sewn from genuine leather or textiles. For the sole of a good PVC material or foamed polyurethane. The color of the shoe should not be aggressive. The insole must be removed so that it can be dried. The sock of high -quality shoes will certainly have a lining to protect the baby’s leg from bruises. The shoes that another child wore, even if the older sister or brother should not be touched, since each person has an individual foot. Shoes with special supervisors are purchased only at the appointment of a doctor (traumatologist, orthopedic). Wearing orthopedic shoes for no apparent reason is harmful. When prescribing supinators, they are ordered individually for a specific foot of a particular child. The baby should have clamps so that he does not arbitrarily drop it. Velcro fixes the leg well, but over time is erased and the probability of randomly dropping a child of such a shoe appears. So, autumn shoes for girls and boys on laces are suitable very small and after 3 years. Children over 4 years old can calmly wear shoes without a variety of fasteners.
