Are my kids in the correct size shoes?

Importance having the correct size of shoes.

  • As someone gets older, they can start experiencing horrible feet pain like bunions, hammer toe and plantar fasciitis. These injuries can be contributed to having improper fitting shoes when an individual is a youth. It is important that a kid has the proper support under their feet with every step they take.

Kids shoes that are too small

  • Having shoes that are too small will cramp your youth feet in their shoes. This will compress the area of the foot that can splay out and grow and land more natural. Some tips for checking your kids’ shoes in make sure there is room from the end of toe to the front of the shoe. A kid’s foot will swell and growing during the day. Make sure to check your youth foot at the end of the day and not just right when they put their kids’ shoe on. Another area of the foot to make sure the kid’s shoes is not too small is the width of the shoe. Your kid should not have any part of the shoe pressing on the side of the shoe. There should be some wiggle room on the side to allow for natural foot movement for your kids’ shoes.

Kids Shoes with the wrong type of support

  • Kids shoes can come in high quality shoes and very low quality of shoes. At Fitness Sports we believe that kids shoes should be built with the same level of materials and quality as high-end adult shoes. Our shoes will help keep your kids’ feet more supportive and healthier than going to big box stores. Another factor in picking out the correct shoes is getting the right type of support for your feet. Kids shoes are built differently for either pronation or supination. Fitness Sports will help make sure that your kid’s shoes will match up correctly based on their foot shape and natural walking and running gait.
