Great review of children's barefoot winter boots

TupsunupsuThere is a large selection of barefoot winter boots for children. You have certainly wondered which barefoot winter boots are right for your child's feet? In this article I will give you an overview of which winter boots Tupsunupsus are available and which foot types they are suitable for.

How much stock to leave in winter boots

We recommend leaving a 12-15 mm length allowance and a 4-5 mm width allowance in winter boots. If the shoe has too much free space in length/width/height, then body heat will not be able to warm the air inside the boot and the foot will start to freeze. Feet will also start to freeze if the shoe is too tight around the foot, because then the blood supply to the foot is poorer. Therefore, a winter boot is suitable if there is enough space in length, width and height. You can find instructions for measuring foot length and width here.

What to do if your child's feet are still cold even with winter boots?

First, make sure that there is enough room in the boots in terms of height, length, and width. If everything seems right but your feet are still cold, you can try the following options:

• Replace existing soles thermal insoles or other warm wool insoles If the shoes have enough space in height, an additional sole can also be placed on top of the existing sole.
• Change to cotton socks or stockings merino wool socks or stockings against. For example Surtex socks are thicker (wool terry) and Vegan jeans socks thinner
• Keep your child constantly moving outdoors – it is very difficult to keep their feet warm while standing/sitting.
• Some Finns wear thick wool socks over their winter boots instead. If you've tried everything and nothing seems to work, be sure to try this option and give us feedback!

Does my child have high or low feet?

In order to buy the right shoe without trying it on, you need to have an idea of ​​the height of your child's foot. If many shoes have problems with the laces not closing (all the way), or the shoes leave marks on the instep, then it is most likely a high-heeled shoe. However, if the laces are too long and reach almost to the ground, and there is a lot of space between the top of the foot and the shoe, it is probably a low-heeled shoe. If neither of these problems has been experienced, the foot is probably of average height.

A formula has been developed to measure foot height Happy knives. This formula may not give a 100% accurate result, but for me and my children, it works well. Measure the height of the foot with a soft tape measure by placing the tape measure on one side of the foot against the floor and gently pulling it across the instep of the foot to the other side of the floor (at the highest point of the foot) and note the reading in cm where the tape measure touches the floor. Divide the reading by the length of the foot in cm.

If the result is up to 0,7, it is madala with a foot. For 0,71-0,81, the height of the foot is middle and a result of 0,82 or higher is high instep with your foot.
