Children's Shoe Blog Posts

In this section you will find fashion blog posts about children's shoes: news about sneakers, sandals, boots and dance shoes made in children's sizes. This page is the blog post index for the topic on Apparel Search — a short index, since the fashion blog's children's footwear coverage is small — and it links the children's fashion blog and the children's shoes guide at the top, where the wider clothing coverage and the standing shoe guide live.

About Children's Shoes

Two posts sit in this index, and both are about ballet footwear. BLOCH Ballet Slippers worn by Penelope Disick and North West Ballet Shoes cover the soft ballet slippers worn for children's dance classes — Bloch being the specialist dance shoe maker in both posts. Ballet slippers are the entry point to dance footwear: soft leather or canvas shoes with elastic straps, sized to fit snugly, worn by young dancers before any move to structured or pointe shoes, which come much later in training and are not children's everyday footwear.

Children's shoes are sized on their own scales — infant, toddler, little kid and big kid — and fit matters more than in adult shoes because feet are still growing: a thumb's width of growing room, a flexible sole for new walkers and a firmer, supportive shoe for older children. The guides linked in the topic block below cover the range by wearer and type: kids, boys' and girls' shoe guides, toddler and infant shoe guides, children's and girls' ballet shoe guides, children's shoe stores and infant shoe stores, and wholesale children's shoes for trade readers.

Replacement is the rhythm of the category: children's shoes are outgrown before they are outworn, often within a season, which is why hand-me-down practicality, adjustable straps and washable materials recur in children's footwear design. Dance shoes follow the class calendar rather than the seasons, and the two posts in this index — both about ballet slippers as photographed purchases — show children's shoes being covered as products in their own right, not as small versions of adult styles.
