Children’s Footwear Growth Stages
How quickly do kids go up a shoe size and which shoes are best for each stage.
How to Choose Children’s Footwear for Every Stage of Growth
Children’s feet grow and change at an astonishing pace. During the first years of life, they develop almost without us noticing, and each stage of growth requires a different type of shoe to ensure comfort, freedom of movement and, above all, healthy foot development. Choosing the right footwear at each phase not only prevents future problems but also helps Children’s Footwear Growth Stages.
First steps (0–3 years): discovering the world




At this stage, children’s feet are soft, flexible and still forming the arch. As little ones begin to crawl, stand and take their first steps, they need shoes that protect without restricting.
Look for: very lightweight, flexible shoes with thin, non-slip soles.
Avoid: footwear that is rigid, heavy or too tight.
The goal is for the child to feel almost barefoot, while still being protected.
School age (4–7 years): constant activity





Once children start school, they spend most of the day wearing shoes and put them to the test through running, jumping and playing. Here, durability and comfort are key.
Look for: breathable materials, sturdy yet flexible soles, reinforced toe and heel.
Extra tip: check their size every few months, as feet grow quickly and often unnoticed.
Older children and pre-teens (8–12 years): balance between comfort and style




By this stage, feet are almost fully formed, but growth spurts are common. Children also start caring more about style, so their shoes need to match both physical needs and personal taste.
Look for: footwear with good cushioning, quality insoles and designs that combine fashion with ergonomics.
Pay attention to: irregular wear on the sole, which may signal the wrong size or unsuitable shoes.
At Beberlis, every collection is designed with these needs in mind: from flexible shoes for first steps to sophisticated styles for teenagers who want to express themselves without compromising on comfort. Supporting children’s growth with the right footwear is the best way to care for their future.
