What Are the Right Kids’ Shoes for School?
Choosing kids’ shoes is a process that requires special attention, as shoes play a crucial role in the development of a child’s feet. In fact, when it comes to choosing shoes to be worn at school, it is important to be even more careful. The goal is to find the right shoe that offers support, comfort and protection. If you too are wondering about which one is the most appropriate pair, keep reading.
Anatomic sandals
The weather in our country stays warm until at least October, which means that if you are looking for kids’ shoes for the first few months of the school year, a pair of closed-toe anatomic sandals is definitely a good choice. This is because, as we all know very well, children at school tend to run around, play with their classmates during breaks and generally do other activities that are likely to increase foot sweating. A pair of kids’ anatomic sandals, preferably with a leather midsole and a ventilated sole, will provide the necessary support for the child’s feet, while allowing them to “breathe”.
Sneakers
One could say that there are no more appropriate kids’ shoes for school than the classic and beloved sneakers. The right sneakers, featuring an air-sole or ergonomic platform, offer support and comfort, give children freedom of movement to play, while they are also just right for gym time. It is advisable for children not to change shoes during the school day and not to go barefoot at all, so a pair that can be worn all day will be a lifesaver. To avoid sweating and fungal infections, make sure the sneakers have an antiperspirant midsole.
Extra Tips
– When choosing kids’ shoes for school – and in general – make sure the size is right and that the shoe fits properly on the foot, without being too big nor too small or tight. The wrong fit could cause accidents.
– Children often get dirty, especially at school, so avoid very bright colors in kids’ shoes. Grey, charcoal grey or dark blue are all excellent choices.
