Why choosing the right shoes is crucial

The right shoe is your child’s best friend: children’s feet can grow up to three sizes in just one year. Making the right choice when shopping is necessary in order not to impair their normal development. If they are too small, they could cause blisters and redness, and if they are too large, they could unbalance him when walking.

Not to forget how much children like to run and play: the sole must be soft to allow them stability and freedom of movement. So does the insole, which must provide support for the arch of the foot. And they have to be light, breathable and also beautiful, otherwise the child won’t want to wear them…

No, choosing the right model is not easy, until you rely on Fratinardi. It is with us that you will find the right shoe for your every need: every adventure starts with the right pair of shoes.

A short guide to choosing a size

It is essential to choose the right size, especially when it comes to shoes. The child must be able to move easily and the toes must be well extended. This allows the natural development of the arch of the foot. As we have already mentioned, the feet of small children develop rather quickly, depending on their age. Specifically:

• From 9 months to 3 years: development is so rapid that the size needs to be checked at least once every two months;
• From 3 to 6 years: the foot grows two to three sizes every year;
• During school age until its development: one to two sizes per year.

Ideally, a check on the actual size should be made every two months or so. Alternatively, based on the longest foot (even if only slightly, the length between right and left can vary) choose shoes that are about one centimetre bigger, consequently about one size.
