Are you looking for boots for your child?
Join us above while we go boot shopping to learn some tips on what to buy.
Here are our top tips:
1️⃣ The boot needs to fit to prevent the foot from sliding around or causing too much pressure around the toes.
2️⃣ The boot should have support to keep their heel in place. Heel support holds the heel in place, while limiting how much all of the other muscles have to work. An arch support, an ankle strap or tension around the ankle can do this.
3️⃣ Having your child be independent with their boots is key to every parent and teacher. Especially to make sure they can get all of the straps done up properly.
4️⃣ Good grip is necessary for our Calgary winters to avoid slipping and falling while they run and play.
5️⃣ A light weight boot will help your child run and move
Lastly, watch your child move in each boot! If they are clumsy or clunky, that boot is not for them.
We want to see ease of movement. This includes a narrow base of support, quick feet with soft sounds and being in control of their body.
