Summer is the time when children spend a lot of time outside, playing and enjoying the warm weather.

The task of parents is to choose the right shoes for their child to avoid health problems and make walks enjoyable.

It should be lightweight and have a ribbed, flexible sole that will not interfere with the natural walking mechanism.

Avoid sandals and flip-flops with hard soles - they have worse cushioning, which is very important for children's shoes, as it helps to avoid sprains, bruises and dislocations while walking and running.

When buying, you should carefully examine the toe of the selected pair - make sure that the model does not squeeze your toes either in width or in volume.

An open toe is the key to good ventilation, but for unsteady walking children, as well as for active children, it is better to take shoes with a closed toe so that they do not hurt their toes.

In addition to sandals and flip-flops, a child’s summer wardrobe should include sneakers or trainers made from lightweight, breathable fabric.

Finally, don't forget to buy rubber boots (there are no special requirements for them) and flip-flops - for children under seven, buy those with a heel lock.
