Preferably by appointment?
You may have also encountered the following temptation: buying shoes that are too big for your little one.
We completely understand, children's feet grow very fast, but it is a temptation that you absolutely must resist.
Why? Because it is a bad idea for the comfort , health and longevity of the shoes .
Let's start with comfort . If you buy shoes that are too big, those kids' feet will be bobbing around like a ship at sea.
They won't get enough support and stability, which can lead to discomfort and chafing. Think blisters, slipping and general discomfort.
That's not a very pleasant experience for your child, is it?
But there’s more. Shoes that are too big can also compromise foot health . They force your little one to squeeze too hard with his toes to keep the shoes from slipping off. They go into gripping mode. This can lead to muscle fatigue, foot deformity, and even growth problems.
And finally, the lifespan of the shoes . If you buy shoes that are too big, they will wear out faster. The shoe is not filled enough with foot and the feet will slide and slide in the shoes, which again results in excessive friction. Because the shoe is also not filled enough, the toe of the shoe will also start to fold upwards, rapid wear of the material then occurs. So actually the shoes will wear out faster before they have ever been tried on, which is also a shame of course.
So parents, don't be tempted to buy shoes that are too big .
Think about your child's comfort and health and save yourself the extra costs of replacing shoes prematurely due to wear and tear.
