Goodbye school days, hello summer holidays. Here’s our top tips for buying shoes for kids this summer.
As the weather warms up and we get closer to the summer holidays, it’s natural for kids to want to get outside and explore the great outdoors more and more. But this means their shoes might have to put up with a little more rough and tumble than they would otherwise, so it’s key to pick a good pair of durable, hard-wearing and supportive shoes that will serve your child well no matter what they get up to.
Plus, the extra warmth in the air makes it a perfect time to get those little toes out into the fresh air with a pair of sandals - great for beach days, picnics and much more. Some activities require a little extra protection for kids’ feet, so trainers or canvas shoes might be a better idea. Try to make sure you buy shoes with a breathable fabric or design to reduce the risk of sweaty feet after a fun day out.
Whatever shoes you decide on, making sure you’ve got the right fit is vital. Measuring your children’s feet ahead of shoe shopping can save time and hassle when you’re looking for the right shoe for them. And though you might be tempted to size up so the shoes will last longer, it’s best not to. Wearing shoes that are too big, even if they have an open design like sandals, can do more harm than good for your children’s feet.
