When choosing socks for your child, it is important to take into account not only the color and pattern, this is, of course, also a very important criterion, but it is much more important to choose the right size for comfortable wearing. No matter what socks cause discomfort to your child, you need to choose the right size.
For a newborn
In order not to be mistaken with the size of your baby's socks, there is a way to measure his little foot: place the baby's foot against your palm and remember where the foot begins and ends.
Such measurements will be quite enough to choose the right socks. You can safely go to the store.
For preschoolers
If your child is already older, slightly different methods of measuring feet are needed. In this case, it is not enough to simply take the child with you to the store and choose socks by trying them on. It is unlikely that you will be allowed to try them on your feet in any store. There are two ways to choose socks for a preschooler:
• Eye gauge;
• Proven method for determining foot length.Place the child on a clean sheet of paper and mark with stripes where the foot begins and ends (the most protruding points). This distance must be measured with a ruler. Knowing the length of the foot, it will not only be easier for you to choose socks, but it will also be just as easy for you to choose shoes for your child.
If the length of the foot is not an even number, but a decimal one, for example, 12.4, you need to round the value up. Up to 13-14 cm.
For schoolchildren
Schoolchildren, even very young ones, are ready to pay more attention not to the sizes of clothes and shoes, but to their colors and styles. Therefore, it is quite problematic for such children to choose a pair of socks that they will wear with pleasure and that they will definitely fit in size.
But, despite this, you need to convince your child of the need to wear socks in accordance with their size, and not choose them based only on their wishes.
Children spend more time at school and are constantly wearing shoes in which their feet can sweat, get wet and freeze. What causes colds? For active children, you need to buy socks for membrane shoes. They are able to remove moisture out, keeping the leg dry and warm.
