How to Pick the Right Shoe for Your Child

As adults, many of us suffer from aching feet and foot related problems. While almost 98% of people are born with healthy feet, only 40% of them still have these by the time they reach adulthood. The main reason for this drastic drop in the health of feet is the practice of buying ill-fitted shoes. To ensure the health of your child's feet, it is essential that the right shoes are purchased for each stage of their growth.

Children's feet will grow up to 12 sizes in their first three years of development. Unfortunately, over 50% of these children are wearing shoes that are too small for their feet. Wearing proper footwear is especially crucial for children whose feet are still growing and developing. As a parent, knowing how to choose the right shoes for your child is of the utmost importance.

Shopping for children’s shoes can be a frustrating experience for both parents and kids. However, when the parent is clear on the shoe requirements for a particular stage of their child's development, it makes shopping for shoes with children much easier to deal with. By knowing the factors required for choosing the correct shoes ahead of time, half of the battle is won before even arriving at the store.
