Tips for Buying Back-to-School Shoes
At Rothy’s, we understand the importance of a perfect fit, which is why our shoes are designed to provide comfort and support, making them easy to wear and walk in from the moment they’re slipped on.
Below, we put together some tips for you to find a fitting pair of back-to-school shoes for your kids.
Get them measured
One of the most important steps in buying shoes for kids is getting the correct size. Children’s feet grow quickly, and it’s crucial to measure their feet before purchasing new shoes. Make sure to measure both feet, as it’s common for one foot to be slightly larger than the other. It’s also helpful to measure their feet at the end of the day when they’re slightly swollen to ensure a more accurate fit.
Try shoes on
Once you’ve measured your child’s feet, it’s time to try on the shoes. When trying on shoes, make sure there’s enough space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe—about a thumb’s width is ideal. Have your child walk around in the shoes to ensure they feel comfortable and don’t slip at the heel. The right pair of shoes should offer a snug fit without pinching or squeezing, allowing your child to move freely throughout the day.
Avoid break-in periods
Choosing shoes that don’t require a break-in period is important, especially for kids. Shoes that need time to soften up can cause discomfort, making it more challenging for your child to focus on school activities. At Rothy’s, shoes are ready-to-wear right out of the box, providing immediate comfort without needing a break-in period.
Consider durability and washability
Kids are tough on their shoes, so looking for pairs built to last is important. Rothy’s shoes are made to withstand the daily wear of active kids. Rothy’s shoes are also machine washable, making it easy to keep them looking fresh and clean, no matter what the school day brings.
Prioritize comfort
Comfort is a top priority when choosing back-to-school shoes for kids. Look for pairs with cushioned insoles and breathable materials to keep their little feet comfortable throughout the day. Rothy’s shoes are designed with all-day comfort in mind, offering the support your child needs to stay active and focused.
By following these tips, you can ensure that your child’s back-to-school shoes fit well and provide the comfort, durability, and style they need to start the school year on the right foot.
