From her own practice Klára estimates she sees poorly fitting indoor shoes on up to 80 % of children - and they easily spend several hours a day in them.

Our tip

The best indoor shoe is the one that actually fits your child. Measure the foot at home following our guide, or drop into a shop that specialises in children's footwear - what decides is length, width and instep height, not the number on the box.

"Indoor shoes are not just an accessory to a favourite pattern. A child spends hours a day in them and the foot is still developing."
