FAQs
What size should I buy for growing kids?
Allow about a thumb’s width of room in front of the longest toe (roughly 0.5–1 cm). Consider width and growth rate—some parents size up half a size.
Are Velcro sneakers better for toddlers?
Yes—Velcro or slip-on options help younger kids dress independently and speed up busy mornings.
How often should kids replace school sneakers?
Look for signs of wear: flattened cushioning, sole separation, or poor support. Active kids may need replacements each school year or sooner.
Which materials are best for breathability?
Mesh panels and leather with perforations offer the best airflow while retaining structure and durability.
