Half an inch or an inch room when buying new children's shoes?

I forgot which one.

Half an inch or an inch room when buying new children%26#039;s shoes?
from the end of their toe to the end of the shoe should be the width of your thumb generally.
Reply:I typically buy 1/2 size bigger than is needed. Good luck to you.
Reply:Half and Inch because an inch would leave too much space resulting in blisters, or their heel hurting!
Reply:Try and be accurate when finding the right fit for those little feet. They are still growing, and need room to do so. I would only leave a 1/2 inch or less when purchasing shoes for our little guys. It%26#039;s also important for their stability, they need to learn as well.
Reply:About a thumb-tips amount of room beyond the toes, but the shoes must fit at the heel (to prevent slipping and blisters) and should be snug, not tight or outwardly bagging at the sides when they walk and the shoe bends (not such a problem with lace-ups). Try to get their feet properly measured at least twice a year, preferably three times, as they may not grow much during the winter, but have a growth spurt in the summer.





If you buy shoes with an inch of growing space, they would most likely look odd and probably cause a child to trip or mis-step.





Always buy leather if you can, because it can always be polished to look better when they get scuffed. If you buy patent leather, the toes on these can be restored when they get scuffed white (use a dab of nail polish remover and the black shiny returns - seriously!)





Synthetic shoes don%26#039;t last a season, don%26#039;t support the feet and end up smelling awful.
