When Does My Baby Need Shoes And Sandals?

Sandals are a must-have footwear for summer. However, it can be hard to find the right pair that meets your child's needs. There are many styles of sandals that can be found, and each one will offer different levels of support for your child's feet. We have put together a few tips to help you choose the right sandal for your child.

Soft, comfortable materials

Bisgaard sandals made from genuine calf skin leather. The sandals are soft and comfortable because of the natural, breathable and soft material. Synthetic sandals do not allow the feet to breathe and can cause swelling and unpleasant odor.

For toddlers especially, sandals should have a sturdy heel cap and non-slip rubber soles. This ensures that the sandal is comfortable and that the child has firm footing on all surfaces. We believe that all footwear should be comfortable for children. sandals for baby boy Our sandals are also suitable for summer wear, so your child will not get tired and may not feel sore.

Sandals for young children

Closed toe sandals are recommended for children under 2 years old, as they require more stability and support. A closed toe cap offers more protection for the toes than an opened toe cap. Open and closed heels are best for sandals that rest tightly on the instep and ankle.

Sandals for older kids

Because they allow for more movement, open sandals are better for older children. Open sandals should be inspected to ensure that they are stable and provide support.

There is room for growth

Little feet develop quickly. When your child is standing straight up, measure the length of their foot. You should measure both your child's feet. Begin by standing your child against a wall, with their weight equally distributed between both of their feet. Then, place your child's heel against the wall. Next, place a book on the ground so that their longest toe touches the book. Measure both feet from the heel against the wall to the length of the longest toe against a book in centimeters.

• Baby and toddlers (0-2 years old): It is important to not buy sandals too large as it can hinder their motor development. There should be no more than 1 cm room for growth.
• Closed sandals should have 1 to 1.5 cm growth room.
• We recommend that you leave 1 cm of growth space for open sandals

Width of sandals

Bisgaard sandals have Velcro or buckle straps which allow for size adjustment. Make sure to pay attention the width of the sandals so that you get the perfect fit. There are sizes available for narrow, normal and wide feet.

Sandal maintenance

Our sandals will last all summer with a little bit of care. You can wipe any dirt off the sandals using a moist cloth. To preserve the leather's flexibility and appearance, you can use beeswax spray. However, shoe polish can help to revive the colors. Liquid shoe polish is best for suede sandals. It can be in either a neutral or the original color. A suede brush is also recommended, which helps to position the tiny hairs of suede in an upright position.

Beautiful design with carefully chosen details

Bisgaard offers a wide range of sandals in a variety of colors and designs, for boys and girls. They have a classic design and unique details. These sandals are made from natural materials and have a great fit.
