Shoe Measuring Device for Kids (Brannock)
Parents did not estimate the child’s foot size. But the length on the inside of the shoe can’t be estimated from the outside and is often much shorter than you’d expect (lining, seams, footbed). It’s far better to use an appropriate measuring instrument like the Brannock Device.
Charles F. Brannock develops the measurement tool to get the length, width, and arch length of the human foot easily. The Brannock Device has a left and right heel cup to measure both feet. Since its invention, the Brannock Device is an international standard of the footwear industry and used in every good shoe shop.
No specialist shops in your area and you prefer to buy online, an investment in a Brannock Device and inner shoe measuring instrument might be a good alternative. The price for Brannock Devices start at 25 USD or new at 60 USD.

Which are the best shoes for children
Children’s shoes should be made of soft material and allow the feet to breathe. Many podiatrists add that shoes should also have stiff heel and recommend shoes for toddlers with a rigid middle.
