Foot shape and size are important factors in determining footwear shape and resultant fit. This is particularly so in childhood where shape and proportions of feet change rapidly. Feet grow very quickly, particularly before three years of age. Children, particularly when younger, may be less able to describe the fit of their shoes as appropriate or not. They are also less capable of making footwear related decisions and might well prioritise a design or a colour over fit.
