Although some students do not like to wear interchangeable shoes, it is still worth persuading the child to do it. Otherwise, students will bring mud to the offices on the soles, and warm demi-season or winter shoes in the room will cause discomfort. The task of parents is to purchase beautiful and comfortable school shoes that the child would like and would not harm his health.
Be sure to choose school shoes with your child, given his wishes. It must meet at once three requirements: to be useful for the feet, aesthetic and business. Give preference to strict classical shoe muffled tones. Do not get too bright or decorated with a lot of decorative elements shoes. Among the many models you can probably find the pair that the child will like.
Do not force the schoolchild to wear old, spoiled or simply ugly shoes. It is especially important to take into account the parents of high school students, as teenagers are very demanding in their appearance and often react painfully to ridicule or peer remarks. Let the shoes be beautiful and stylish, as well as comfortable. She should like it, mind it.
Shoes should not cause harm. For example, girls should not wear shoes with a strongly narrowed toe or high uncomfortable heel, as they can trigger deformation of the foot. Inappropriate too heavy boots, or stiff shoes, rubbing his feet. Also, do not buy shoes with a minimum number of fasteners, because it will be uncomfortable. Pay attention to the sole: it should not slide, otherwise the child may fall and hit hard.
Ideally, school shoes should be light, soft, but at the same time equipped with a reliable and strong back. When choosing a pair it is recommended to give preference to shoes made from natural, "breathable" materials. For example, shoes with an unpleasantly smelling rubber sole should not be bought by a child. By the way, it's also worth paying attention to easy-care shoes. Note that a schoolboy can quickly stain shoes, and the easier it will be to clean, the better. That's why not the best choice will be too light, marking and suede shoes.
