Are babies wearing sandals these days as the temperature rises? You can't just choose sandals for your baby based on their looks, there's a lot to consider! Today we're going to talk about how to choose sandals for your baby!
There are two major misconceptions to avoid when buying sandals!
1. Shoes should be bought bigger. Many parents think that babies' feet grow fast, so they must buy shoes that are bigger, or else the shoes will soon be unwearable and wasteful, but this view is actually incorrect. If the shoes are not suitable, they will not only affect the development of the baby's feet, but also make the baby fall when walking.
2. The softer the sole, the better. Some parents feel that babies' feet are delicate and the softer the shoe the more comfortable the baby wears, but in fact this view is not correct either. If the soles of the shoes are too soft, the baby will lack support and the centre of gravity will be unstable; if the soles are too hard, it will prevent the child from moving freely, which is not conducive to the development of the bones of the feet. If the sole is too hard, it will prevent your child from moving freely, which is not conducive to the development of the bones in the feet.
Please remember the following points when choosing sandals:
✔ Material No matter what you buy, material is the first factor to consider. In the summer, many children like to wear sandals barefoot, and their skin will come into direct contact with the inner sole of the sandal, so be sure to pay attention to the material of the sandal. Smell the sandals for odour, if there is a strong odour, it is likely that shoe materials that are not environmentally friendly are used.
✔Comfort is also an important item when choosing shoes for babies. A wide toe allows the baby's toes to be better stretched out. In addition, it is common for little ones to stumble and fall when walking, and shoes that wrap around the toes can prevent injuries.
✔Stability Hold the sandal in your hand and twist it gently like a towel. If the shoe is too easily deformed, it will have poor stability and will not give proper support to the foot, which will make your child prone to twisting the foot during walking.
✔ Non-slip baby shoes with soft and hard soles should be moderate, not too thin, while the front end is slightly curved to prevent flat feet; in addition, to ensure safety, when buying shoes, the soles wear resistance and non-slip is also very important!
✔ Simple test method; the upper part of the baby's shoes should be soft and easy to bend, comfort will be better, the bending part of the sole of baby sandals should be in the forefoot 1/3, the flex line of the sole should match the flex line of the child's foot in order to guide the baby to walk correctly.
