Question
What size shoes can an 8-year-old boy wear? Do I need to take him to the hospital for treatment? How long will it take for him to recover?
Answer
This depends on the size of his feet. There is no definitive relationship between age and foot size. If you know his average height, you can roughly calculate it. Generally speaking, foot size is about one-seventh of height; children can wear slightly larger sizes as they grow. If you are 180 centimeters tall, your feet are about 26 centimeters long, which corresponds to a size 42 shoe. However, shoes should be about 1-2 centimeters longer than the feet. You usually need a size 43 to 44 shoe for comfortable wear and fit. Additionally, since children like to be active, they need to buy sports shoes, rubber soles, and other non-slip, flexible shoes.
