Back To School She Shopping Tips
1. Measure Both Feet
- Children's feet can grow rapidly, so it's essential to measure both feet before buying new shoes. Shop in the afternoon when feet are likely at their largest due to natural swelling.
2. Leave Room for Growth
- Ensure there's about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe. This gives the toes room to move and grow, preventing discomfort.
3. 3. Look for Arch Support
- Select shoes with good arch support to provide stability and prevent foot fatigue, especially if your child will be on their feet a lot during the day.
4. Don’t Forget Socks
- When trying on shoes, make sure your child is wearing the type of socks they’ll usually wear with the shoes. This helps ensure a proper fit.
5. Check for Durability
- Kids can be tough on shoes, so choose well-constructed, durable options that can withstand daily wear and tear.
