Shoes for children and teenagers

The choice of shoes for children and teenagers is a responsible task for parents. During the period of growth from 7 to 13 years, the active formation of the child's legs takes place. Shoes that are uncomfortable or too tight can cause flat feet and other arch problems. In addition, children begin to be active and express their opinion when choosing a model. To avoid mistakes and give maximum comfort when walking, it is better to pay attention to new products from good brands.

In most cases, the need to buy shoes arises when choosing shoes for school or walking down the street. The following models are the most popular:

• Boats can be with small heels or flat soles. They are very practical, often do not have extra buckles, fasteners or voluminous decor. On sale there are products made of patent or matte leather, light eco-leather. For girls 8 years old, shoes with a wide elastic band in front are more suitable, which will securely fix the leg.

• Strap shoes: This variant of the elegant model features a hard strap on the front. With it, you can adjust the fit of the shoes, which is simply necessary for little fidgets. In addition to classic models, these shoes can be bright, stylish and complemented by an interesting decor. They can be matched to any girl's outfit.

• Small platform shoes: fashionable modern model is more suitable for girls 10 years old who are already beginning to follow fashion and have their own preferences. A neat platform or wedge is quite stable and practical, so the option is suitable for school and cool autumn days.

Many boys prefer trendy bright sneakers, but the school dress code involves a suit and shoes. Men's fashion is no less diverse and interesting:

• Classic shoes for a boy 11 years old is an imitation of adult options. For children 8 years old, they can be Velcro or lace. For children who, by age, do not cope well with daily lacing, manufacturers offer neat shoes with inconspicuous rubber inserts on the sides.

• Moccasins: an equally popular model for school, which goes well with dress pants or jeans. They can be plain, have multi-colored leather or nubuck inserts. A stylish detail in the form of a buckle will only add originality.

But you should not buy such shoes without the recommendation of a specialist: this can harm fragile ligaments and give the opposite effect.

The beautiful age of 15 suggests the formation of a young lady's taste. Choosing shoes for school becomes a real challenge for many parents. Girls are ready to neglect comfort for the sake of fashion and style. Bright images that are eagerly copied by teenagers suggest high heels, thick platforms and non-standard finishes.

At this stage, it is important to explain the negative impact on health and posture of constantly wearing such fashionable but impractical shoes throughout the whole school day.

The task of loving parents is not only to teach a teenage girl how to choose shoes correctly and tastefully. You can show her funny outfits and the gait of her peers, who sometimes look ridiculous in high thin heels, from the outside.

Casual or dressy shoes for a child from 8 to 13 years old should be not only attractive, but also as comfortable as possible. Manufacturers use a variety of natural and artificial materials:

• Genuine leather: the most practical and wear-resistant option. The leg in such shoes will "breathe", feel comfortable. This elastic and high-quality material gradually adapts to the structure of the foot, fitting and fixing it as you walk.

• Synthetic leather: modern technologies allow the production of very high quality shoes from this material. But such shoes can provoke sweating, do not stretch and quickly lose their beautiful appearance.
• Natural nubuck: a great option for demi-season shoes. Impregnated with special compounds, it perfectly retains heat and does not get wet in rainy weather.

The optimal ratio of price and quality can be found in models made of combined materials: on certain wear-resistant areas of the shoe, high-quality dense leather is used, and bright leatherette forms an original decor.

Orthopedists definitely recommend choosing casual and elegant shoes for a child only from genuine leather with a high-quality insole. For children 8 years old, you can look at models without a heel, with the simplest clasp and a hard back. From the age of 10, the collections of good manufacturers always have original shoes with 1-2 cm heels.

We should not forget that the sole of the shoe must be non-slip, rubberized or corrugated. New synthetic materials such as polyurethane are resistant to abrasion, light weight and do not require heel replacement. And the choice of color and finish depends entirely on the school costume or outfit.

At any age, the girl wants to look original and elegant. It is not necessary to choose black plain shoes for a strict school set. An interesting look can be obtained with bright tights and shoes in red, blue or gray. A delicate bow for a girl will give a set with miniature boats, decorated with flirty bows.

The real trend is shoes that resemble the style of shoes for boys. Simple laces give them a touch of fun and recklessness, well dilute a strict school or street look. Such practicality and originality will appeal to girls of any age and will provide maximum comfort.
