hen I got pregnant with my first child and when we knew it was going to be a bot, my husband got very excited. In fact, he’s very excited that he wanted to buy a pair of shoes for the baby already. I laughed at him because it was the first thing he wanted to buy for the boy. Shoes. Now that we have a girl, I am the one getting excited in buying her pairs of shoes. How do we actually choose the right shoes for our children? I have gathered some tips:
- look for shoes that will give you different sizes to compare. oshkosh shoes usually have a measurement at the back of the shoes, i.e.: too big, just nice and too small with lines on it. i like oshkosh products. they’re not that super expensive but good quality.
- shop later in the day or late afternoons where feet usually swell this time.
- don’t buy shoes that are too big or too small. one size bigger is just nice.
- i remember my boy’s pediatrician recommended on investing a good pair of shoes. it helps a lot with their walking development. she actually highly recommended mothercare shoes, especially for those that are still learning to walk.
- look for shoes that have a good grip.
- best of all, buy shoes that are comfortable to use.
- if you can’t go to the shop and buy shoes, try looking online. Shopwiki.com has all sorts of shoes in different sizes and good brands.
