Hints and tips on fitting toddlers first shoes


Our friends at Bugalugz have written a great article about the importance of footcare, including handy tips on buying and fitting your little ones first shoes.

The article covers:
- the importance of barefeet
- measuring your child's feet
- buying the right size shoes
- what to look for in a quality pair of shoes

Your child’s feet have to carry the weight of their body throughout their lifetime, and the shoes they wear in childhood can make (or break) their future foot health.
 

Neglecting foot health invites not only future foot problems, but also problems in other parts of the body, such as the legs and back.
 

Head over to the Under 5s website for a full copy of the article: Fitting First Shoes - helping your kids put their best foot forward.
