Taking your children for new shoes can be rough going. How do you know if the shoe fits right? While buying kids shoes online may feel easier, it’s important to know you bought the right fit and quality for your child’s ever-growing feet. Here are some of my simple tips when shopping either online or in-store:

• All shoes should be long enough to accommodate the longest toe. Sometimes the longest toe is the second toe, not the first one.
• Shoes need to have a stiff heel and be sturdy. If you can bend it into a pretzel, it probably isn’t a good shoe for your child
• Are they easy to get on and off? Depending on your child’s age, this can save you time, and/or encourage them to wear the shoes.
• They need to be relatively comfortable.
