๐จ PARENTS, PLEASE STOP ASKING FOR CHILDRENโS SHOES BY AGE! ๐๐
โPlease, I need a size 5 shoe for my 5-year-old.โ
โDo you have size 30 for a 5-year-old?โ ๐๐
I hear this all the time and honestly, I completely understand why! โค๏ธ
But hereโs the thing: a childโs age can give you a clue, but it does NOT determine their shoe size.
๐ KNOW BEFORE YOU BUY!
Children grow differently. Two children of same age can have completely different foot lengths and therefore wear completely different shoe sizes.
From experience, many 5-year-olds may fall around EU sizes 30โ31, but another 5-year-old may comfortably need 32 or even 33! ๐ฎ
Thatโs why, at SBTKIDDIES, we encourage parents and guardians to measure the childโs feet rather than simply buying according to age.
๐ Quick tips for getting the right fit:
๐ฃ Measure both feet as one may be slightly bigger than the other.
๐ฃ Measure when the feet are at their largest, preferably towards the end of the day.
๐ Allow a little room at the front for comfort and growth, but not so much that the shoe slips.
๐ If the child falls between sizes, consider the larger size, depending on the shoe design and fit.
๐ Remember that childrenโs feet grow quickly, so recheck their size regularly.
SAVE this shoe-size chart ๐ for your next back-to-school shopping trip and share it with another parent or guardian who needs to see this!
And when you visit a shoe shop, instead of saying:
โ โI need a shoe for a 5-year-old.โ
Try saying:
โ
โPlease, can you help me check the right size based on my childโs foot measurement?โ
The right age will not guarantee the right shoe, the right FIT does! ๐โค๏ธ
๐ฌ LETโS TALK!
Parents, be honest ๐๐๐ฝโhave you ever bought a childโs shoe based solely on their age, only to discover that it was too small or too big?
Tell me your experience in the comments! ๐๐ฝ
And as you prepare your little ones for the new school session, donโt leave shoe shopping until the last minute! ๐๐
