For children, we recommend allowing about 1 to 1.5 cm of growth room in their shoes. This gives children’s feet enough space to walk comfortably, move freely, and grow healthily, without the shoes appearing too large. More information can be found in the product details for kids’ shoes.
For adults or fully grown children, we recommend allowing a maximum of 0.5 cm of extra space. The toes should not touch the front of the shoe, but there should also be no excessive room. This ensures the shoes remain comfortable, stable, and perfectly fitting.
Place a sheet of paper firmly against the wall and have your child stand on it with their heels touching the wall. Mark a line at the longest toe (this is not always the big toe) and measure the length to about 0.1 cm accuracy. Always use the larger foot as a reference and compare the measurement with our kids’ shoe size chart.
Make sure to use the size chart for standard-fitting shoes. For some models, the online shop may indicate “runs small”– in that case, choose one size up. If it says “runs large”, choose one size down.
On our size chart page, you will also find a helpful video showing how to measure your child’s feet accurately.
Information about the fit of these hiking shoes (whether they run large, small, or true to size) can be found in the product details above. We recommend checking this information carefully to ensure you choose the correct size.
For small sizes, it is recommended to measure the feet every 3 months. Since young children often cannot accurately say whether their shoes are too small or too tight, it is important for parents to check this themselves.
From size 25 onward, feet grow a little slower. Usually, it is sufficient to measure the feet every 5 months to ensure a good fit and comfort.
As children grow, they can usually tell when shoes are too small or when their toes touch the front of the shoe. Still, it remains important to check foot size regularly to ensure a good fit and optimal comfort. In practice, measuring every 6 months is a good guideline.
You can find out if these kids’ shoes have a removable insole in the product details above. Check the specifications for a “loose sole”, which indicates whether the insole can be removed.
Yes, these kids’ hiking shoes provide sufficient support for feet and ankles.
All models are equipped with a stable heel counter (Contrefort) and made from leather combined with a Tex membrane, ensuring stability, support, and comfort while hiking.
Yes, these kids’ hiking shoes are suitable for daily use at school.
This model is made from leather combined with a Tex membrane, keeping the hiking shoes durable, breathable, and comfortable, even with daily use.
Thanks to the sturdy heel counter (contrefort), feet and ankles receive the necessary support and stability. The hiking shoes are also designed with a good fit, so children can wear them comfortably all day.
As with all shoes from Junior Steps, this model has been carefully selected for quality, support, and comfort. These hiking shoes are therefore ideal for daily use, even during long school days.
Yes, shoes made of suede can be cleaned with the right care products. For light or surface stains, we recommend the Collonil Suède Nubuck Box. For stubborn stains and dirt, the shoes can be cleaned with the Shoeboy Multi Clean.
To maintain suede and refresh the colors, you can use the Collonil Nubuk + Textile bottle. The integrated sponge allows for precise application, making it ideal for suede shoes with light-colored soles or stitching. Available in colorless or various colors.
After cleaning and care, it is recommended to waterproof the shoes with Collonil Carbon Pro Spray to protect them against water and dirt.
