7 "'Back to School' shopping tips for your kids this year!

BACK-TO-SCHOOL IS AN EXCITING TIME FOR PARENTS AND KIDS, BUT BACK-TO-SCHOOL SHOPPING CAN BE ANOTHER STORY. LET TODAY’S PODIATRIST HELP TAKE SOME OF THE STRESS AWAY WITH THESE SEVEN HELPFUL SHOE-SHOPPING TIPS!

1. Children’s Feet Change With Age. Shoe and sock sizes may change every few months as a child’s feet grow.

2. Shoes That Don’t Fit Properly Can Aggravate The Feet. Always measure a child’s feet before buying shoes, and watch for signs of irritation.

3. Never Hand Down Footwear. Just because a shoe size fits one child comfortably doesn’t mean it will fit another the same way. Also, sharing shoes can spread fungi like athlete’s foot and nail fungus.

4. Examine The Heels. Children may wear through the heels of shoes quicker than they outgrow the shoes. Uneven heel wear can indicate a foot problem that should be checked by a podiatrist.

5. Take Your Child Shoe Shopping. Every shoe fits differently. Letting a child have a say in the shoe- buying process promotes healthy foot habits down the road.

6. Always Buy For The Larger Foot and the longest toe. Feet are seldom precisely the same size and your longest toe may not be your big toe.

7. Buy Shoes That Do Not Need a “Break-In” Period. Shoes should be comfortable immediately. Also make sure to have your child try on shoes with socks or tights, if that’s how they’ll be worn
