School Shoes Shopping

Just started the holidays but it won't be long before its time to start looking for the new school years uniform and shoes.

Shopping for school shoes is one of those activities that both parents and children dread. The kids would much rather be shopping for trainers or something with a much greater fun factor than boring old school shoes, and grumpy kids means stressed parents.

Shopping for any shoes over the internet is quick and easy, and you can do it from your own home whenever is convenient for you. If the size isn’t right, you’re welcome to return any pair of Kids Shoes 2 U shoes that don’t fit for a refund or an exchange. Subject to the usual terms and conditions, the return process is quick, simple, and low stress.

Your choice of school shoes will depend in part on the school your child goes to. Public schools with a fairly strict dress code will want black leather shoes that take a polish well, while more relaxed local primary schools don’t mind so much what pupils wear on their feet. In the latter case, you might be able to get away with a single pair of shoes that will work well in the classroom, on the playground at lunchtime, and for active Physical Education classes. School students usually need a second pair of shoes for PE and sports.

Formal school shoes can be bought with a little room to grow, but keep in mind that if your kids will be running around in a pair of shoes, they will need to fit reasonably well from the start.

Buying Baby And Toddler Shoes

In one way buying baby shoes is easier than buying grown up or bigger kids shoes, because little ones won’t spend nearly as much time on their feet as they will when they get a bit older. And of course, their feet don’t have to withstand the pressure of a full adult weight on top of them all day every day. Every time an average man takes a step, there is about 90kg of pressure pushing down on the relatively small area of a single foot, so as a person grows bigger, their shoe needs change.

Baby shoes don’t need the intrinsic stiffness that normal shoes do. They don’t have so much weight to support, if any at all, so softness and comfort can be the first concerns. The only difficulty lies in the fact that babies can’t tell you if a shoe is comfortable or not, so you have to fit them generously and be careful not to do them up too tight. A nice padded pair of baby socks can also help make sure tiny feet are comfy in their first shoes too.

Because the requirements are so loose, baby shoes are great fun to buy. In most cases you can choose from our range of high quality designs by simply browsing through and picking out the style and colour you like the most. We stock a broad variety of summer and winter baby and toddler shoes, sandals, and booties so there should be something for everyone. Do remember, however, that babies grow fast, and that includes their feet!
