Guide to Kids Foot Width & Choosing the Right Shoe Width The formative years in a child’s life are extremely important, both mentally and physically. As their bodies grow and change, it is important that they have proper resources to support that development. For instance, as kids grow, their foot size changes not only in length but also in width. In order to encourage natural and healthy foot development and avoid any foot problems, it’s crucial that kids wear the best fitting shoes. Now in order to understand your kid’s shoe size and shape, you must measure their feet properly. By having the correct measurements, you can find the perfect fitting shoes which help avoid discomfort and injuries. Here is how you can measure your child’s feet correctly: 1. Get paper, a pencil and a ruler. 2. Place the paper on the ground against a wall. 3. Ask your kid to stand upright against the wall and with one foot on the sheet of paper. 4. Trace around the foot and toes as closely as possible. 5. Now repeat the same with the other foot. 6. Next using a ruler measure the length from the top of the toes to the heel of the foot. Finally, measure the width of both feet. 7. Compare the measurements of the longer and wider feet with the Asics shoe size guide to find the perfect shoe size for your child. Generally, the average kid’s width guide is from F to G. Now if your kid’s feet are narrower or wider than this, here are a few tips to help you find the best fitting shoe for your child no matter the shape and size of their feet: ● Shoes for Wide Feet If your child has wider feet than the standard width, then shoes with adjustable fasteners and durable outers are a good option because they will offer comfort and a supportive fit. Look for shoes that mould and adapt to the kid’s natural foot shape. ● Shoes for Narrow Feet If your child has narrower feet than the standard width, then they need shoes that fit snugly around their feet and offer support. In case the shoes don’t hug their feet, there are chances that their feet could slip out of their shoes and lead to injuries. So look for shoes that have a hook and loop kind of closure so that they can be customized fit.
