The perfect fit
The shoe's fit is the set of characteristics that enable it to dress the foot correctly and comfortably. Size is of course one of the most important factors in choosing the right pair of shoes, but it's not the only one. Fit is also defined by the width of the shoe, its volume - known as the last - and its construction.
The perfect fit
For an ideal fit, the foot must not slide forward when walking, the heel must be held in place so that it doesn't slip out of the shoe, and there must be sufficient volume at the front of the shoe throughout the entire rolling movement. Their design is similar to that of adult shoes, with additional technical features. Shoes for children who have mastered the stages of walking require rigorous fitting qualities.
Different morphologies
Every foot is different. For the same length, the foot may be wider or narrower, and the volume of the instep - the upper part of the foot - may be greater or smaller. These factors determine the ideal shape for foot support and health. This is referred to as a thin, standard or wide fit. Knowing the particularities of a child's foot is crucial to proposing the right fit.
Working with shapes is a demanding art that requires experience and know-how. Each model has a different shape to meet the needs of different morphologies. That's why we offer custom-printable pedimeters for each of our models, as well as a fit indicator. Our in-store teams are on hand to advise you and help you choose the shoe best suited to your child's needs.
