Some tips

Children's shoe sizes on Ali can sometimes be very difficult to choose correctly. Any US shoe size chart translated into Russian sizes will be calculated for a standard foot, and if the foot is too full, then it is better to refuse to buy shoes on the Internet. Please pay attention to the following details, which must be indicated in the product description:

• material;
• manufacturing plant;
• in winter shoes - insulation material;
• sole flexibility;
• sock shape;
• breathability of shoes;
• insole material;
• retainers.

Give preference to natural, soft fabrics or high-quality, breathable synthetics. When purchasing shoes for children under 5 years old, it is better to purchase models with Velcro. The sole should not be too dense or bendable, but it should not bend in all directions either. Children's shoes for toddlers under 5 years old must be equipped with a small heel. This allows you to place your foot correctly when walking, smoothly rolling it from heel to toe. The shape of the sock is also of great importance. Consider, first of all, the age of your child. Children's feet have a fan-shaped structure, so the product should have a rounded toe. Shoes that are too narrow can cause foot deformities. The insole should be made of hygroscopic material that absorbs moisture and quickly evaporates it. High-quality children's shoes have a supportive pad that is located closer to the inner edge. Please note that delivery may take 1-3 months, so buy shoes 2 sizes larger; winter shoes can generally be taken 3 sizes larger. If after studying the size tables you are still unsure about the correct choice, it is better to contact the seller for more detailed information. On the pages of Aliexpress sellers you can often see signs about the correct choice of sizes depending on the fullness of the leg. They advise children with full feet to take a size larger, and those with narrow feet, on the contrary, to take a size smaller. Here it should be noted that the small width of the leg does not change its length, so there is no need to take a product with a smaller marking.

Choosing shoes on Aliexpress

The risk of making a mistake with the size of shoes or clothes without seeing your purchase in reality is quite high. Therefore, think in advance what you will do with the item if it does not suit you. You can resell it or simply give it to other friends and relatives, and if you don’t have any, then you can go through the long process of returning or exchanging the product by mail, which is accompanied by equally long correspondence with the seller. By the way, just recently we told you how to choose the right clothing size on Aliexpress, we also recommend you read it. To avoid this, you need to carefully study the sizes of shoes on Aliexpress and clothing. It is not beneficial for sellers that you make an unsuccessful purchase; they try to make the choice easier for a potential buyer, which is why there is always an AliExpress shoe size table on the product page. In addition, all sellers willingly communicate with clients, and all clarifying questions can be asked to them in correspondence. We recommend that you read customer reviews before purchasing. They often attach a real photo of the shoes to their reviews. This way you can find out how true the product description is and whether the size recommended by the seller is correct.

Here are some guidelines for choosing shoes from an online store.

1. Measure your foot . Take the time to measure your feet before placing an order. Only accurate parameters will help you make the right choice. Foot length measurements should not be taken on a bare foot; the distance from the heel to the tip of the longest toe is measured. Also, if you have wide feet, you need to measure the width of your feet and tell the seller the measurements. He will help with the choice.
2. Don't ignore size charts . Compare your size with the size in the table.
3. Do not use the size you previously ordered shoes in . Sizes may vary from seller to seller.
4. Check out customer reviews . Customers often leave truthful reviews about their purchase, helping potential buyers make a choice.
5. If something is unclear, ask the seller . The stores represented on AliExpress value their reputation and always make contact with customers.

Some sellers recommend adding half a centimeter to the result when measuring your foot, and choosing a size based on this data. This is due to the fact that products from manufacturers from China very often turn out to be “small”, which is why accurate measurements of your feet are so important.
