If you want to determine the size of shoes, the first thing to emphasize is that you must measure two feet, not one foot, because the size of two feet may be different, and the size of the larger foot shall prevail. The measurement time should be the night before buying shoes. Note: it must be at night, because the feet at night are bigger than during the day.
When measuring children's feet, be careful not to measure them directly, because there will be great errors in direct measurement. Instead, use white paper to draw the periphery of the foot along the foot with a pen, or mark the front and rear ends of the foot respectively, and measure the length according to the drawn foot map, that is, the horizontal straight line distance between the apex of the longest toe and the toe protrusion.

What professional standards should children's shoes size follow?
1, the length of shoes should leave a gap of 9 to15 mm.
The size choice of children's shoes is different from that of adults. Compared with adults, children's shoes should have more room for foot movement. There must be a gap of 9- 15mm between the longest toe and the front end of the shoe, and the most commonly recommended value is12 mm.
Because children are in a non-static state most of the time, human beings will be pushed by the soles of their feet when they are exercising or walking, causing their feet to lean forward. This 9- 15 mm gap is reserved for the feet to move forward during exercise, and also for the children's feet to grow rapidly.
Without this gap, the child's toes (usually the longest big toe) will directly and frequently rub the top of the shoes when exercising or walking, and will be squeezed by the shoes, which will easily lead to hallux valgus.
When buying shoes, we should not only consider the length, but also the width.
Every child's feet are different in width. The design width of each pair of shoes is different. In terms of width, there should be a space of 10 mm between the width inside the shoe and the actual width of the foot. Shoes that are too narrow or too wide are not conducive to the development of children's feet.
In Germany and Austria, high-quality shoes generally follow WMS standards in width (and shoe type) design, where W stands for width, M stands for medium, and S stands for small.
Children with obviously narrow feet at birth should choose S, W with obviously wide feet and M with normal feet. At the same time, WMS standards even have strict requirements on the height and proportion of shoes. Its design purpose is to make shoes that fit children's feet best, so that children can feel the same as if they are not wearing them, and help soft feet to achieve the healthiest natural growth.
