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 sandals (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’ sandals generally provide sufficient support for feet and ankles up to approximately size 26, thanks to the closed heel with a stable heel counter (Contrefort).
In larger sizes, the heel is often open, which reduces support. This is usually done for aesthetic reasons and because older children are generally already walking more independently and stably.
Yes, these sandals are suitable for daily use at school.
This model is made from high-quality leather, which keeps the sandals stable, breathable, and comfortable, even when worn daily.
Sandals generally provide less support than closed shoes. However, for sizes up to around size 26, a closed heel with a sturdy contrefort provides sufficient stability. For larger sizes, the heel is often open, mainly for aesthetic reasons. Since older children walk more steadily, this is not a problem, although the support is still less than that of a closed shoe.
Like all Junior Steps shoes, this model has been carefully selected for quality, support, and comfort. Therefore, these sandals are suitable for daily use, including at school.
Yes, shoes made of smooth leather can be cleaned with the right care. For surface-level and small stains, the Collonil Soft Gum is recommended. For stubborn stains and dirt, you can clean the shoes with the Shoeboy Multi Clean.
To maintain smooth leather and refresh the colors, use the Collonil Waterstop Cream. It contains almond oil, which nourishes the leather, adds extra shine, and revives the colors. Thanks to the sponge on the tube, the cream is easy to apply, and the sponge can be removed to apply the cream with a brush. The Waterstop tube is available in specific colorsas well as colorless.
For damaged smooth leather kids’ shoes, the Collonil Colorit Tube can also be used. This highly covering, color-refreshing paste makes damage less visible, is easy to apply, and restores the appearance of the shoes.
After cleaning and refreshing, it is recommended to impregnate the smooth leather shoes with Collonil Carbon Pro Spray to keep them protected from water and dirt.
