Measuring Toddlers Feet

By Toddler Boy Clothing

Toddler feet are such delicate and malleable little things, that getting the right fitting shoes for them is very important.  

Babies’ feet don’t have bones‚ just soft cartilage which can easily be pushed out of shape by badly fitting shoes. Even socks that are too tight can damage their feet at this delicate stage.

A foot has 26 bones, 19 muscles and over 100 ligaments‚ which can take up to eighteen years to harden to adult form. But even before they start walking‚ babies’ feet need protection and support‚ and at each stage of their development‚ they have different needs. 

Great advice on fitting baby and toddler shoes

You can of course take you toddler to get his feet measured, shoe shops like Clarks offer this instore service free of charge, but you can also measure your own children's feet at home.  With Startrites free downloadable measuring gauge it really is a lot easier than you might think.
