Every parent knows that a child is an expensive pleasure. Not only in a material sense, but also in a moral sense. It’s worth visiting a children’s clothing store once to understand all the difficulties of choosing. The showcases are simply full of brands of children's clothing, shoes, and educational toys. How to do right choice?

Difficulties in choosing children's shoes

As they say, keep your feet warm. Not only warmth, but also convenience should be the main selection criteria for parents. This is especially true for those whose children are taking their first steps. Discomfort and chafed heels can cause improper development of a child's foot. Our market is saturated with all kinds of goods for children, including shoes. Bright colors and attractive design cannot always guarantee that money is not wasted. This is why experienced parents prefer to buy children's shoes from well-known brands for their children.

What should you pay attention to first when buying children's shoes? Of course, the material from which they are made. The skin on a child's foot remains very sensitive for a long time. It is extremely important that the material is breathable. And better - natural.

The younger the child, the freer his foot should feel. For little ones, we choose shoes with flexible soles. As the leg grows, the sole should also harden.

The shoes are made orthopedic correctly and have a solid heel. It does not allow the baby's leg to move to the side, which is why he may develop clubfoot and flat feet.

When choosing a size, you should choose shoes so that they are not too large. One centimeter for summer and one and a half centimeters for winter is enough for growth.

The presence of an orthopedic insole is desirable, but not required, unless there are special indications for this. In addition, the insole can be purchased separately by ordering it specifically for your child.

In this case, it is not worth saving, as this will affect the further development and health of the baby.

Trusted brands

Verified brands are those that have proven themselves over several years, and possibly decades, with excellent quality products. For example, on the Russian market there are domestic brands of children's shoes, which many mothers prefer to the most proven foreign ones. First of all, these products are distinguished by loyal prices and the opportunity to purchase shoes for a child for not very wealthy families. At the same time, the quality remains decent, despite the difference in prices compared to foreign brands. In addition, manufacturers try to take into account local climatic conditions. According to the ratings of several websites selling children's shoes, the leaders are such factories as Kotofey and Skorokhod. Both of them have a long history of work in the domestic market.

At one time, the Skorokhod factory was considered the most worthy of quality shoes. The use of natural materials and lasts that were correct from an orthopedic point of view were considered the standard of Soviet children's shoes. The models did not differ in beauty, and the design rarely changed. However, at present, the quality of the shoes of the famous factory is considered very good and deservedly so. Even budget models of children's shoes are made to all quality standards. Their assortment is represented by a very wide range of shoes not only for every taste, but also for every budget. At the same time, shoes continue to be created in accordance with all GOST rules and orthopedic standards.

"Kotofey" is also considered one of the leaders in sales of children's shoes. Taking into account the problem rapid growth kids, this factory also produces good shoes made from artificial materials that meet all medical requirements. In addition, children are delighted with the bright design.

The company “Antelope Pro” is often mentioned by mothers. According to those who constantly bought shoes from this particular manufacturer for their children, they are the best, despite the fairly low cost of their goods. A rich assortment and good quality do not suffer at all due to availability.

Market news

In addition to well-known Russian manufacturers, the children's shoe market is saturated with foreign companies. Some have occupied a worthy place in the ranking of children's shoe brands for several years. Others came quite recently, but also managed to win the hearts of caring mothers.

Many websites selling children's shoes rank the products of several companies among the best on the Russian market. In comparison with other foreign companies, the Ekko company turned out to be the leader in sales of children's shoes in Russia. A wide range, modern design, constant updating of models according to fashion trends, the use of high-quality materials - all this, undoubtedly, can be attributed to the advantages of the products of this company. The downside may be the price, which sometimes exceeds the minimum cost of living in many regions. If you consider that children grow out of shoes and clothes very quickly, then all that remains is to admire them on the shelves of shoe stores.

"Kuoma" also appears quite often in the rankings among the best. The quality of this company's products is beyond doubt. Many people note the decent quality of the sole, which has shock absorption properties. At the same time, the price is more acceptable than that of the previous leader. And yet, to many in our country, despite the noted decent quality, the price seems greatly inflated.

The Austrian “Superfit” has established itself as a worthy competitor to the best manufacturers of children's shoes. High-quality materials used to create children's and teenagers' shoes guarantee that in bad winter weather the child will not freeze, and in the event of a thaw, he will not come home with damp feet. An attractive design and an orthopedic correct last can justify the price, which many call the main disadvantage of this shoe.

Orthopedic shoes

Many companies initially include all orthopedic standards for children. This increases product quality and, consequently, demand. However, these shoes are intended for children without foot pathologies. If the doctor has recommended special orthopedic shoes for the child, you should consider options designed for children with abnormalities in the development of the feet. The main brands of children's orthopedic shoes on our market are represented by well-known companies. According to some mothers who thoroughly study all the indicators of orthopedic shoes, you can trust the following brands.

Sursil Ortho from Holland offers its shoes for children with problem feet. Their shoes are beautiful and would please any little fashionista. There is zoning on the insole to determine whether a given model is suitable for a child. At the same time, the shoes have an affordable price. Doctors advise wearing such shoes no more than 3-4 hours a day.

“Skorokhod” is not losing its position in the line of orthopedic shoes either. According to customer reviews, the shoes are comfortable for children. Breathable insoles. The products themselves are made of special water-repellent material. However, the range is very limited, and many salons do not have a specialized orthopedic line at all.

“Totto” is a shoe that is much easier to find on store shelves, as it refers to shoes of low orthopedic complexity.

In most cases, specialized shoes presented by famous brands have a design of low orthopedic complexity. If the child has severe deviations, you will have to sew shoes to order, taking into account all the requirements provided.

Beauty and quality

The two main criteria by which people make a choice in favor of a particular brand are beauty and quality. This is if there are no budget restrictions. Famous brands of children's shoes often offer very high quality products. Buyers have no complaints against manufacturers. But with design everything is much more complicated. Considering that there is no dispute about tastes, then it is pointless to give any recommendations. And the material from which children's boots will be made will be selected by each parent at their own discretion. Some people prefer natural material. Others are disgusted by the idea that materials that were once living beings were used to make beautiful shoes for a child. Everyone must determine all these criteria for themselves so that the purchase does not become unsuccessful.

It is worth noting that brands of Spanish children's shoes are gaining popularity on the Russian market. The most famous of them are Pabloski, Eli, Tinny, Baileyluna and Natural Word. All these brands are worthy of the attention of parents of little and growing fashionistas. The prices are quite high, which is due to the quality of worthy brands that have proven themselves well in the domestic market.

Mimy, Minimen, M.E.G.A. Orthopedic, Orsetto, Panda, Perlina and Rabbit are familiar Turkish children's shoes. They have long won the hearts of parents who are concerned about the health of their children, since most models of these brands have orthopedic insoles and backdrops. A very large assortment with truly oriental luxury will offer models for every most demanding taste. Shoe lovers from Turkey can talk for a long time about its advantages. Little feet feel comfortable in it! And what could be more valuable than a smile on your beloved face?

Best winter shoes

Winter in our country can last almost six months. Therefore, it is worth considering all proposals in advance. Top brands children's shoes are competing for the attention of buyers. Once again, Skorokhod is in the lead, offering not only light and warm shoes with non-slip soles, but also an affordable price for good quality. “Kotofey” was not far behind, presenting shoes for the winter full of surprises. Their shoes have water-repellent materials on the outside, fur on the inside, natural or artificial, and rubberized non-slip soles. And not cold, and not damp. And it doesn’t hit the budget too hard.

Summer shoes

When the long-awaited summer arrives, little fashionistas and growing charmers want to appear not only in new dresses, but also show off in beautiful shoes. Once again, the power of flavors comes into play. Some people like comfortable ballet shoes. For others, it should be high-heeled shoes like mom's. Still others require sandals with rhinestones. Boys like sneakers or sneakers. What to choose is, of course, up to the parents to decide. You just have to remember that in the pursuit of beauty you can miss out on quality or harm your health. Famous brands children's shoes offer products for every taste and at any price. Summer in this sense is more democratic than winter.

Order online

Who hasn't ordered a popular children's room online? For some, everything went well: it arrived on time, everything was fine, and the price was right. However, there are those who have decided to never buy shoes in absentia again. Especially for a child. Perhaps there will be some savings and the illusion of a wider choice. But no one has canceled the human factor of misunderstanding. And not all is well with shipments in our country. Therefore, it is better to choose from what is available than to buy a pig in a poke, even a famous and beautiful one.

Note to moms

Every mother wants only the best for her child. But sometimes she is simply unable to give her beloved child what her soul desires. Sites with used items come to the rescue. Sometimes you can buy excellent shoes at a very reasonable price. However, be careful. Children wear shoes differently than adults. Their legs, which are not yet strong enough, can make shoes that are beautiful on the outside unusable on the inside. Lasts that have been worn down to one side will not help the child who then wears these shoes to position their feet correctly. Therefore, before you buy cheaper shoes for your child, think about how such savings will turn out. The same goes for sites offering cheap goods. The materials and quality of such products can not only disappoint, but also cause harm. If you want to save money, keep an eye out for discounts from brands of children's shoes, the list of which is presented in this article, and recommended by experienced parents.

4. The selected model must have a small heel . For babies, a height of 5-7 mm is recommended, for children over 2 years old - a heel of 1-1.5 mm. A third of the sole should be raised. This lifting of the heel will help distribute the load equally over the entire surface.
   
   

   Correct orthopedic therapeutic shoes are characterized by the presence of a beveled Thomas heel.

5. Using only natural materials - leather, nubuck . Textile may be present on some parts or on the top of the product. The inside of the shoes must be made of genuine leather. The baby's feet need to breathe.
6. The sole should not be made of sliding materials . In the Russian production of ortho-footwear, thermoplastic elastomer (TEP) is used. This “rubber plastic” combines a number of advantages: the highest strength, environmental friendliness, and durability. Or use very light EVA material. Some manufacturers of ortho-footwear schematically divide the sole into zones with outside, by erasing which one can diagnose various deviations.
   
   
7. Presence of instep support . This part is used in preventive anatomical shoes. For the therapeutic option, the insertion of special insoles is provided (purchased separately).
   
   
8. Using breathable soles . Some manufacturers make the sole with a valve; it is located on the side of the heel. And in the sole itself on the side of the child’s foot there may be holes for good air circulation.
