Introduction
The old saying goes that good shoes
are a wise investment. If your children go through a pair of shoes every month,
it can be tempting to buy cheaper shoes that won't last as long. But if you
want them to have comfortable shoes that will last longer in their school days,
there are some things you should look out for when shopping around.
It
depends on how hard your child wears their shoes
It depends on how hard your child
wears their shoes, and whether or not you are willing to invest in a good
quality pair. A well-made shoe should last about two years for most children.
In fact, it's usually the sole that wears out first, not the upper or heel.
It is recommended that if your child
has a pair of shoes that they wear every day they should be replaced once
every 12 months (or less if they are particularly active). However, if their
school shoes aren't worn every day then they may last up to two years before
needing replacing - especially if they are well looked after and kept clean at
all times.
Check
for signs of wear and tear
There are several ways to tell if a
pair of shoes is getting old, and they're all relatively easy to see. Here are
the five main signs that your shoes need to be replaced:
- Soles wear out quickly, especially if you're constantly
on your feet. If you start noticing cracks or splits on the bottom of your
shoe, it might be time for an upgrade.
- Stitching can be damaged when walking on rough surfaces
like gravel and rocks, so look at the soles from above (e.g., from a
person's point of view) and check for damage in this area as well as at
other seams—the back of the heel cup and where laces meet up with each
other can tend to the fray over time, so look there too!
- The toe box should not have visible creases or wrinkles
after wearing them for more than two days straight without taking them
off. If these appear before then (especially if they're overlapping with
one another), consider getting new ones because this means there's
probably been too much pressure put onto what's underneath that
layer--which could mean serious discomfort later down the road...
Look
for a solid back and good sole
- Check the soles. The soles of your child’s new shoes
should be made of hard rubber, leather, or other durable materials. If they
are not, they will wear out quickly and hurt their feet in the process.
- Look at the back. Many times the back of a shoe is made
with mesh material that can rip more easily than other parts of the shoe.
If there are holes or tears in this area, consider returning them to the
store where you purchased them so they can be exchanged for sturdier ones
that will last longer and protect your child’s feet better from harm when
running around at recess time!
- Check seams for strength by pulling on one end with
both hands firmly until it breaks apart easily without any fraying
happening first -- if this happens then you know there's probably
something wrong with either how well constructed these particular pair was
made originally or possibly even just due to wear over time (or both).
It is important to remember that the
upper material of a shoe is what protects your child's feet from dirt, germs, and bacteria, so if this wears out before the soles then it's time to replace it.
Choose
the right size shoe
Choosing the right size shoe is
crucial to getting the most out of your new pair. You should be able to put
your foot into it easily and comfortably, with no pressure or pinching. The
shoe should fit snugly around your foot and not allow any extra space at the
heels or toes. If you have long toes, look for shoes that come with removable
insoles so you can choose one that better fits your needs. If a shoe seems too
small, get a wider size; if there is excess room in a tight-fitting shoe,
consider trying on another style that has more material in key spots such as
underfoot or around the ankle area.
Once you find the right fit for
length and width (or if necessary add an extra insole), take some time to walk
around in them before making a final decision about whether they're comfortable
enough for daily wear at school—don't just try them on once! Walking
around aimlessly won't tell you how well they'll perform under stress during PE
class or while playing basketball with friends after school.,
If
your child wears their shoes every day, you should expect them to last for
about three months.
If you plan to have your child wear
the same pair of school shoes every day, the shoes should last for about three
months. This depends on how hard they are worn, however.
If you've been looking at the soles
of your child's shoes and noticed signs of wear or tear, then it might be time
to replace them. You should also check for a solid back and good soles. If
either one is starting to fall apart, it's time for new school shoes!
If you find that the seams are
strong, then you can be confident that these will last a while. Check the soles
of the shoe for cracks or breaks. If there are any visible cracks or breaks in
the sole of your child's new shoes, bring them back to where you purchased them
so they can be exchanged for sturdier ones that will last longer and protect
their feet better from harm when running around at recess time when you go to
buy new shoes for your child, they must fit properly. You should
be able to easily slide one finger between their heel and the back of their
shoe. If there is not enough room, then they may cause blisters and other
problems.!
Conclusion
In short, it's important to choose
the right shoe for your child. We recommend that parents look for shoes that
have a solid back and good sole, as well as a size that fits well but isn't too
big so they can grow into them over time. If your child wears their school
shoes every day, you should expect them to last about three months before
needing new ones!
