When it comes to buying children’s shoes, we don’t just have to look at brands or the models that we think are the prettiest, but it is much more important to look at some aspects that will really make the difference between buying the ideal shoe for your child, or buying one that may cause him or her discomfort.
At OKAA, we are going to help you with this problem, and in this article, we are going to try to give you the best tips for buying shoes for children. In addition, we also offer you the possibility of entering our extensive catalog, where you will have a wide variety of shoes to choose from for your child.
Children’s shoes that fit firmly on the feet
The most suitable model is to choose a shoe that fits children’s feet naturally and stays firmly on the foot. For this, younger children can benefit from shoes with laces or straps for more secure walking and playing.
Models that do not provide comfort and walking security for the child, such as sandals, clogs and slippers without elastic, are not recommended. This type of footwear requires extra work for the child for which he/she is not used to.
Buying the right size shoes
The size of the shoe is a very important factor so that it is comfortable for the child and does not restrict his or her movements. Therefore, when buying, especially online, it is important to consult the size chart offered by each brand.
If you are buying a shoe as a gift, it is advisable to ask the parents for the correct size or to make sure in the shop that an exchange is possible.
Shoes that are not too tight
Shoes should be wide and long enough to allow proper movement of the toes. Round toe and closed toe shoes are more advisable as they provide greater comfort for little feet and are also firmer.
It is important to remember that children’s feet grow fast, so a shoe that is a little looser in the front ensures longer wear, as well as giving the child comfort that they would not otherwise have.
Look at the materials of the shoe
As children play, run and consequently sweat, the choice of footwear should take into account the material used. Especially in summer, it is best to choose shoes that allow the feet to perspire, but are not slippery. Among the materials that can meet these needs are cork or rubber and cotton slippers.
With these tips we have given you, you will surely find it much easier to choose the right shoe for your child. For this reason, we recommend that you enter the catalog we offer at OKAA, where you will be able to choose from many different options, so that you can find the footwear you really want.
