Looking For The Best Pair Of Back To School Shoes?

Having tried shoes for many years, and also being an affiliate to the British Society of Shoe fitters, below are some guidelines to look for in getting your son or daughter the best pair of shcool shoes.

  1. The upper portion of the kids’s shoes must be made of leather, canvas, or the newer mesh materials of quality. Children’s feet perspire greatly, and the upper part of their shoes should be made of breathable materials. Leather or canvas allows the foot to breathe. Always make sure that the insole is made of absorbent materials. You may also want some extra padded insoles. Avoid man made material, such as plastic as it is like suffocating the feet in a plastic bag and considering that they wear it for an average 8 hours a day the long term could be permanent damage to the feet. That is why we, at Kenneth Cole shoes endeavor to bring you the latest quality, stylish, yet seemingly comfortable footwear at reasonable costs for everyone.
  2. Do away with high heeled footwear, there are 3 main reasons for this. First and foremost, it reduces the possibility of the child getting a twisted ankle due to a very tight shoes. Secondly, it can exacerbate conditions like pronation or supination. Every human displays a degree of pronation or supination, but in children it can be aggravated by wearing inappropriate high heeled shoes. Thirdly, high heels can cause the foot to slide forward, cramping the toes against the shoe.
  3. For a new pair of school shoes, if you cannot get your finger at the back without the child squeezing his or feet then you have bought the wrong size. A good pair of shoes will have this tolerance built into it so you don’t have to upsize to achieve this.
  4. Kid’s are not meant to break into a new pair of footwear. Once they do it is the wrong type of shoes for their feet and thusly should not be worn in the very first place, since it can lead to a permanent foot damage.
  5. Have your kid’s feet measured at least every three months, when parents come into the shop the first crucial thing to ask is what is the child’s shoes size. We alwayd do this since we wanted the parents to be more involved in the awareness of their child’s feet needs and developments. Most parents are oftentimes surprised when they discover that their child’s shoe size has moved on two or more sizes bigger that their last footwear.

I wish these guidelines will enable you to make the correct decision in getting your child the best pair of footwear you can afford. Thank you for taking interest in the proper development of your kid’s feet.
