Summer is already coming to a close and back-to-school season is here! This means it's time to start thinking about school supplies, new clothes, and getting back into a routine. It's also a great time to set goals for the upcoming school year and start planning for success.
Back-to-school shopping can really be a headache for parents, right? It’s all about figuring out what your kids actually want. Picking the wrong backpack might make them worried about fitting in, and getting jeans that aren't cool could leave them feeling pretty awkward. Sure, these things feel huge in the moment but they won’t change your kid's life forever. But when it comes to buying shoes? That’s a whole different ball game—buying the wrong ones can seriously mess with their foot health.
To help you tackle this back-to-school shopping, and keep it fun for both you and your kids, we’ve put together five super helpful tips that’ll make the whole process way easier!
1. Measure your child's feet: Before heading out to shop for shoes, make sure to measure your child's feet. Children's feet can grow quickly, and having an accurate measurement will ensure you are selecting the right size shoes for them.
2. Choose quality over price: While it can be tempting to opt for the cheapest option, it is important to prioritize quality when it comes to shoes. Investing in well-made, supportive shoes can help prevent foot problems down the road.
3. Consider your child's activities: Take into account your child's daily activities when choosing shoes. If they are involved in sports or spend a lot of time running around, opt for a pair of athletic shoes that provide proper support and cushioning.
4. Get your child involved: Allow your child to be a part of the decision-making process when selecting shoes. Let them try on different styles and colors to ensure they feel comfortable and confident in their choice.
5. Shop at the right time: It is best to shop for shoes later in the day when your child's feet are slightly swollen, as this is when their feet are at their largest. This will help ensure a proper fit and avoid shoes that may end up being too tight later on.
By following these tips, you can make back-to-school shoe shopping a positive experience for both you and your child, and help them start the school year off on the right foot. Whether you're going back to school in person or remotely - Bogers has what you need for stylish and comfortable footwear.
