Kids shoes knowing what to look for when youre buying them
If finding the right pair of shoes for yourself is sometimes difficult then buying school shoes or casual shoes for children is even more tricky. Not only do you have to find a pair that look right but you also have to make sure that they fit perfectly.
It's essential that the shoes you buy your children have enough room in them for children's feet to grow. Most experts suggest that this 'growing space,' should be about half an inch or around one centimetre. This will normally represent the amount a child's foot will grow before the shoes either wear out or, children being children, simply get so scuffed and damaged that they can't be worn anymore.
Having this extra space will also avoid putting too much pressure on the child's feet. Children's bones are slightly softer and more malleable than those of adults and so tight or ill fitting shoes are not just uncomfortable, they can cause damage. Similarly, the skin on children's feet is not as tough at adults' skin and so it can be much more sensitive.
