Patient's question:
How big shoes can an 8-year-old boy wear? Do I need to go to the hospital for treatment? How long will it take to get better? Please help me!Doctor's answer:
Hello! It depends on his foot size. His age and foot size do not have a definite relationship. If you know his general height, you can basically calculate it. Generally speaking, foot size is one-seventh of height; children may grow slightly larger when they grow up. If your height is 180 cm, your foot is about 26 cm long, which is equivalent to a 42-size shoe, but the shoe should be 1-2 cm longer than the foot. You usually need a 43 to 44-size shoe to wear comfortably on both feet. Additionally, you should also pay attention that children like to be active, so they need to buy sports shoes with anti-slip and elastic rubber soles.
