Do you know that the choice of wholesale kids shoes is very important? We do not realize what footwear influences in the growth and development of children's feet. And many times we get carried away by those known as "urban legends", or, we can also say, by bad habits.
"The wholesale kids shoes that are grown so that they last longer, and if you do not put cotton on them". A phrase that we have tired of hearing and that is a blunder. Actions like this negatively affect the health of the feet, not to mention the cleaning and maintenance of the shoe, which is equally important.
From the shoe shop Kiskissing, for our years of experience, we wanted to prepare a special post. We are going to disassemble the 10 most common mistakes or false myths that are committed when buying wholesale kids shoes:
Buy a single pair of shoes per season
Take the shoe one size larger than yours
Buy cheap shoes
The daily use of the sports shoe for its comfort
Acquire cheap shoes to be at home
If the toe of the shoe is peeled is because it gives bad results
Do not choose nubuck, patent leather or metallic shoes
The navy blue shoe is the only one that combines everything
For the school shoes with velcro closure are the best
Socks are not needed in summer shoes.
But before we will give you a small preview:
"It is important to go to a store that specializes in the sale of wholesale kids shoes, and your experience will be very helpful."
That said, now yes, let's get comfortable and take note. We begin with the tips for choosing a children's shoe:
1. Buy a single pair of shoes per season
"The best thing is to buy a pair of shoes that you can wear for every day, and that combines everything. Why will you have several pairs if your foot grows back? "
If you only have one pair of shoes and wear it every day, imagine what you can last with the trot. Going out to play in the park, running in the school yard ... it would not last a week or us. It is convenient to alternate at least two pairs of shoes, because of the sweat they get wet and it is good to let them dry and aerate them to avoid fungus.
If the child's shoe is caught the right size, in a baby approximately four months will last until the three years that may spend the season with the same size. It is also convenient this alternation between several pairs of shoes, to avoid also the bad development or formation of the sole.
2. Take the shoe one size larger than yours
" The children's shoe that is rather large, so that they last longer, if you put cotton or a template ."
This is the biggest mistake we can make when choosing a children's shoe. You have to be aware that children's feet are constantly growing, but that does not mean that the children's shoe should be too big in order to last longer.
The foot inside the shoe must be in place, both the heel and the arch and fingers, so that the foot is held and does not dance or come out continuously. The same mistake is to choose it small, preventing them from having their fingers stretched. The proper margin is a finger between the child's heel and the child's shoe, always with the shoe open.

3. Buy cheap shoes
A cheap infant shoe will probably wear the synthetic liners and get damaged beforehand. The children's shoe should be especially of skin, with armed buttress and that they go comfortable and well shod to help the development of the feet. Sometimes we can not get to an idea of how dangerous they become cheap shoes.
An example of them are the crocs sandals that we buy so cheaply in Chinese. But have we stopped to look at its composition? We are talking about toxic plastics, resins and elastomers, etc. Not to mention that the colors they use to paint them highly toxic because they contain lead. Something has always been said that cheap is expensive in the long run.
4. The daily use of sports shoes for your comfort
" Some sports for the nursery, I think it's the most comfortable children's shoe for them ."
It is the typical phrase you hear when choosing a comfortable children's shoe to go to the nursery for the first time. We must know that the linings of the sports are synthetic and do not have the same buttresses or the fastening of a shoe. And you will think, then I put a shoe for the nursery?
The excessive use of sports for young children is what can end up being harmful, since they do not have the same grip, nor the same characteristics as a shoe. What we must do is alternate the sports with a leather sports shoe. There is a wide variety of sports shoes for children who are learning to walk. Aesthetically it is similar to sports shoes, so you can combine them with tracksuits and casual wear, but they fulfill the characteristics that first-step shoes must have. Lined with leather, with reinforced buttress and formative, and even with reinforced toecaps.
5. Acquire cheap sneakers to be at home
"The footwear of being for economic house, total, they are to be for house and for the time that they take them."
This is an error that we make when choosing the shoes to be at home. We must think that many hours pass at home, and it is time to rest and exercise your feet, playing and running down the hall. Synthetic house slippers make many feet sweat, so we must choose slippers made of natural materials, such as cotton or wool.
In the online shoe store you will find Giesswein slippers and Collegien socks, both for children and adults.
6. If the toe of the shoe is peeled, it is because it gives bad results
"What a bad result has given me a child's shoe, the whole toe has been peeled."
The leading edge is the part of the shoe that suffers the most with the use, and more in the child's shoe. The skins of the shoes if they are of good quality, it is normal that they peel with the use. Plastics is the only thing that does not peel, but it is what most affects the health of your feet.
What we should do is clean and keep the wholesale kids shoes, just like we do with clothes. And more after taking them all day at school or in the park. You should not lose the habit of cleaning your shoes, whether they are with greases for your boots, with brushes for nubuck skins or with dyes and creams. The cleaning and maintenance must be constant, and not be two months without cleaning the shoe, because then there will be no solution. In Carrilé we have repairers for each shoe color.
7. Do not choose Nobuck, Patent or Metallic shoes
This is one of the most common mistakes. Do not choose a child's shoe in Nubuck leather, patent leather or metallized in case they get damaged. Some nubuck shoes are going to get dirty like other napa shoes. All we have to do is dedicate a few minutes to clean them. The suede and nubuck leather we work with is hydrofuged, so they repel stains and water. To clean them, a nail or tooth brush is enough to brush them dry. And a glass of water with a few drops of vinegar for difficult spots, as you see, costs three minutes to clean them.
Fear in children's patent leather shoes is in case they are peeled. Well, you must know that for children it is one of the most resistant skins. For cleaning these shoes, we only need a cotton pad moistened with milk and a dry cloth to make shine; or simply smear it with cream ice cream. Clean patent leather shoes will give you the feeling of new every time you wear them.
For metallic leather shoes in shoemakers, specialty stores or in our children's shoe store, there are dyes in gold and silver to cover the friction of these shoes. Apply the dye to the clean shoe with the sponge or brush included. And you can wear your metalized shoes just as clean as the first day.
From here we remind you that you can see the blog of cleaning shoes in winter, where we specify how to clean each skin.
8. The navy blue shoe is the only one that combines everything
"The children's shoe has to be navy blue to go with everything."
That the color navy blue is the only one that goes with everything is not true at all. Yes it is true that it is a very successful color for any tone or pattern of clothing, but there are also more options of combinable colors.
Do not be afraid and choose some boots in bordeaux, since you can combine them with black, jeans, blue or brown tones. Another range of very combinable colors, are all toasted, camel or brown, both for girls and boys, or even bottle green. Another alternative may be gray. Boots in that tone, will combine like a pair of boots in navy blue, and apart is a color that dresses a lot.
9. For the school shoes with Velcro closure
"At school they force us to wear a child's shoe with velcro."
This is one of the first rules that put in the school, regarding wholesale kids shoes. Velcro closures are very practical, easy to put on and take off and can be put on by themselves. Although it is not the only closure to which we must resort. There are shoes, for example those of Camper, that come with elastics in the instep. Or there are even shoes with zippers, with which children can learn to put on their own.
10. Socks with summer shoes are not necessary
"And in summer, shoes and canvas without socks so they do not get hot."
This mistake is the most committed in summer with the canvas shoes and many shoes, because we think they will spend less heat. We just have to see how they get their feet after wearing the shoes without socks all day. Especially children who sweat many feet. Use socks made of natural materials, such as cotton. It will help them not to sweat their feet and perspire them, and apart we will avoid chafing because of the heat. Dore Dore and Condor, has a collection of pikys for tarpaulins and socks to dress, in a variety of colors.
