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.
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, ballerinas generally provide adequate support for feet and ankles.
Some ballerinas, however, do not have a stable heel counter, which can be identified by an elastic band at the heelinstead of an upright Contrefort.
The leather of the ballerina also ensures comfort and a good fit while wearing.
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.
