Although the structure of the foot develops fully by the first two years, the bones themselves do not fully develop and harden until around the age of 13. The greatest changes in the foot occur in the first three years. Children’s feet endure three times more stress than the average adult foot. A child’s foot sweats twice as much as an adult’s foot SIZING Ensure your child’s foot is relaxed before measuring. Measure towards the end of the day to ensure foot is at it’s largest. Place your child’s foot on a piece of paper Draw a line at the heel and at the big toe - measure the foot length in mm. DO NOT add to your child’s foot length as wriggle room has been factored in. Whilst we have tried our best to make our sizing guide as accurate as possible, the sizing of our shoes may vary slightly between designs Size = Maximum Foot Length Size 20 = 116mm Size 21 = 123mm Size 22 = 130mm Size 23 = 137mm Size 24 = 145mm Size 25 = 152mm Size 26 = 159mm SKEANIE leather shoes and boots are made from soft, comfortable leather and feature thin, flexible rubber and/or suede soles as this is recommend for growing feet. Our shoes should be worn for ‘special’ occasions. They do enjoy walking, running and playing; however, they do not like getting wet, being used as brakes on your bike or scooter, kicking a footy, climbing trees or walking through mud and dirt. Modern patent leather is a smooth leather with a plastic coating. It's water resistant, but it can be prone to cracking if not cared for properly. We recommend that you spray your SKEANIE toddler shoes with a water and stain repellent prior to wear. The best way to keep your SKEANIE toddler shoes looking bright and new is to simply wipe over with a clean damp cloth or leather wipe. Applying Shucare Leather Conditioner and Renovating Polish will assist with maintaining their softness and colour. SKEANIE footwear should never be placed in the washing machine or dryer.
