Trekking shoes for children is suitable not only for hiking – it is also a good option for everyday wear, such shoes can be safely called orthopedic

Therefore, experts strongly recommend paying attention to children’s trekking shoes, because they are lightweight, loose, comfortable and provide the necessary support to the joints and good cushioning of the foot.
How to choose children’s trekking shoes?
- The sock of the sneaker. The toe of the shoe should be elastic. To check the elasticity of the model is very simple – just press on the toe, if dents smooth out and disappear – in the manufacture of these shoes used elastic material.
Lacing
. It is the lacing provides a good fit and fit shoes to the foot. Choose models with laces that go through the rings and hooks. This method of lacing will not take much time to tie and in wet weather will not let moisture get inside the sneaker.
Insole
. Give preference to sneakers with a removable insole, preferably with seams underneath, rather than a flat surface.
The footbed
– is a depression in the middle of the footbed, if the model is equipped with it, it is a good indicator. However, if there are some deformities in the child’s leg, it is better to consult an orthopedist.
The sole
can be thick with or without treads. The main thing here is its ability to bend. The sole should not bend in the middle, but in the nose.
The material
must provide a “breathing” function and not retain moisture. Sneaker tops can be made of synthetic materials, which are many times superior to leather and provide good ventilation.
Shoe Size
. Choose shoes “for growth” or “fit” is no longer relevant. Shoes a size larger form an irregular gait and flat feet, so pay attention to the width and length of the sneaker. In relation to the foot, the sneakers should be slightly larger, literally 1-1.5 cm.
