How To Choose The Best School Shoes

How to choose the best school shoes 

It can be difficult to decide what type of school shoes are best for your child's needs. As we all know, learning in comfort is essential for children and adults alike so it's important that their shoes fit them properly are comfortable and durable. Here are some tips on how to choose the best shoes for your child so they can be comfortable while learning.


Consider your child's needs

Make sure that their shoes are not only comfortable but also provide the proper support for your child. If they are too tight or too loose, it can cause blisters and even damage their feet. A good way to gauge if a shoe is too small or large is by checking how far back the heel sits on the foot compared to other shoes of their size. If it sits further back in these cases, then chances are those particular shoes will be more uncomfortable than others.


In addition to comfort and proper fit, it's important to choose school shoes based on what type of activities their children will be doing throughout the year (running vs walking). For example, if your child plays football at school or loves to run around outside at playtime then getting a pair with grips might help them keep from slipping when running around. It’s important that when shopping for new shoes we consider what activities our kids do most often so that we can find something appropriate for each activity they participate in at school or elsewhere.


Use a professional shoe size guide

Ask them if they feel too big or too small - because they're worn by children at school every day (inside and outside) the fit of the shoes matters.
