As you seek to find the right fitting shoe for your children as they get ready for going back to school, here are some more tips on finding that great shoe.
When you get to the shoe store, make sure you have their feet measured while they’re standing. This will guarantee a correct measurement which won’t be the case if their feet are measured as they sit down. When you find the right size, have your child try on both of the shoes, and if one foot is bigger than the other, get the size that will fit the larger foot. Click here for more tips on getting the right fit. To ensure that these shoes are the right fit and truly comfortable, have your child walk around for a couple minutes in the shoes. Keep a close eye as they walk around. If the heel slips off, the shoes are too big. If they’re toes or any other part of their foot rubs on a part of the shoe, you don’t want to get those shoes because blisters could form on those parts of their feet.
Since children’s feet grow so fast and because of how active they are, it’s probable that you’ll become a shoe expert as you’ll be purchasing enough to know what to look for and what works for your kids. If their shoes are worn out, don’t let them continue wearing them as they can cause injuries to your child’s growing feet. And lastly – no two people have the same foot – hand me down shoes are a bad idea.
