The Importance of Correct Measurement in Respectful Footwear
It is essential to know how to correctly measure your children's foot size to ensure a respectful footwear that fits perfectly. A common mistake is to measure the foot by sticking a toe behind the heel to check for extra room. This technique is not accurate and can lead to incorrect positioning of the foot, known as a claw position.
When the foot is pushed forward so that the toe touches the end of the shoe, children often involuntarily adopt a claw position. This gesture occurs as a way of adjusting to the limited space, giving the impression that the shoe is more fitting than it really is.
Measurement Method
To avoid this mistake and correctly measure your child's foot size, I propose a simple and effective method using simple elements: paper, a pen, an avocado and a tape measure. Follow these steps:
Materials Needed
- Paper
- Ballpoint pen
- Tape measure
Steps to follow
-
Preparation:
- Place your child's foot on the paper.
-
Layout:
- Use the pen to draw the silhouette of the foot, making sure to mark the rearmost part of the heel and the longest toe.
-
Measurement:
- With the tape measure, measure the distance between the rearmost mark on the heel and the tip of the longest toe. This measurement represents the length of the foot.
-
Size Calculation:
- Add 1 centimeter to the measurement obtained. This extra ensures a comfortable fit to allow for the natural growth and movement of the foot.
Importance of the 1 Centimeter Extra
This small additional margin is essential to ensure that the shoe is not tight and allows room for the gradual growth of the foot.
Advantages of the Method
By employing this precise measurement technique, you ensure that you select footwear that fits your child's feet perfectly, promoting their development without the discomfort associated with improper sizing.
Conclusion
Measuring your child's foot size with this simple technique allows you to choose respectful footwear that will provide them with comfort and support during their daily activities, ensuring a solid foundation for their well-being.
