Sandals and sandals for girls
Taking care of children's health, each parent strives to choose the best for his child, and with particular responsibility approaches the choice of shoes. In the process of this choice, there are always a lot of questions and the most popular of them: which shoe model is ideal for children?
Pediatricians are happy to answer this question, arguing that in the cold period, the child is better to choose boots and shoes, and in the summer - sandals and sandals. From this article you will learn how to choose sandals and sandals for girls.
Popular styles and models
At the moment, the children's shoe market offers consumers the following models of summer shoes for girls:
- With a closed heel and sock. Such styles keep the child’s foot well in the right position and perfectly protect its maximum areas from mechanical damage. This model is shown to children who have only learned to walk and are distinguished by a noticeable shakiness of their gait. It is noticeable that only those shoes from this category that have a rather rigid back and a soft toe are the best.
With open toe and closed heel. This model of footwear is not chosen as often as the previous one due to external characteristics, but it still has noticeable popularity. Closed heel, provided that it will be fixed on the foot, well holds the leg in the desired position, but it is worth considering that the heel in such shoes should not be too high. It is better to choose such sandals for girls when they have already reached kindergarten age.
With open heel and toe. This is what classic sandals look like - the most favorite summer type of footwear for girls of preschool and school age. Such a model not only takes into account all the anatomical features of the children's foot, but also looks quite feminine, and this is exactly what attracts girls, who, because of their age, are beginning to form the makings of a child.
And although the range of children's shoes is now quite extensive, you should choose a suitable model only taking into account the peculiarities of the development of the musculoskeletal system of the child. Before going to the store, you should definitely turn to an orthopedist, and he will already advise which particular style of shoe should be paid attention to.
Criterias of choice
But even knowing which model of shoes is recommended for your child, you should not relax, because there are still a lot of selection criteria:
- The material of manufacture. It is important that the exterior finish (including the insole) be made of canvas, which perfectly absorbs moisture and at the same time has breathable properties. And as you know, these are the characteristics of genuine leather and textiles. Regarding the exterior, it should be said that it must be durable, and therefore can be made of leatherette or fabric.
Sole. The most important constructive detail of shoes, whether sandals or sandals for girls. Here it is important to start from the “golden mean” rule, since the ideal sole should be moderately stiff in order to keep the foot in the correct position, but at the same time soft enough not to cause discomfort when walking.
- The instep. And this element, despite the general opinion, is not always necessary. No, if a child has problems with the formation of the foot, it is really very necessary, but for children with healthy feet this does not apply. And in general, choose such shoes should only be prescribed by a doctor.
For girls, an important role is played by the external features of sandals and sandals.
From the earliest preschool age, they are already eyeing fashion trends, striving for individuality.They give the greatest preference to orange, pink, green, red and yellow shoes, as well as the one that is decorated with various decorative elements.
