More Tips for shoe shopping

families families - 7 months ago

• Shop later in the day.
• Choose a sneaker or other breathable, lightweight upper  instead of the old-fashioned stiff leather shoes we've all had bronzed.
• Look at the soles.
• You don't need to buy high-tops for support, but they do stay on better!
• To check for fit, have your child stand up.
• Grab a bit of the material on top of his foot.
• Don't expect your child to "break in" a pair of shoes.
• Make sure any laces are long enough to double knot (or buy a longer replacement pair while you're at the shoe store).
• Some parents love the ease of Velcro fasteners.
