Which shoes for my kids playing sport

ttremeth by ttremeth In Nappies(February 2009) (rank 500+)

Re: Which Shoes
Asked by wilslm70

Question:

One of my children is quickly wearing out his shoes due to constantly playing sportts at any time he can.  I usually just buy the department store brands but was wondering if prehaps it is worth

spending a bit more and getting shoes form a "brand name" sporting store?



My Advice:

We look for bargain and specials on popular brands. Never pay full price. Some times it is better to spend a bit more but check catalgues and wait for sales.

Re: Which shoes for my kids playing sport

It is vital that children have strong sturdy shoes that fit their feet properly, especially if you have an active child participating in sports.  Many major shoe suppliers and of course athletes foot and stores like that will fit you with the best footwear.  Why risk damaging your childs feet or their legs, hips or spine by not providing them with correct footwear for the sake of a few dollars?  By all means, buy shoes that are on special, even ask for last years stock; it is often on sale.

When you think about shoes, remember that it is our feet that get us around and we want them to stay in good shape for a long time, so they have to be well looked after and wearing the right sports shoe or daily shoe will facilitate that.
