Children's Shoe Stores

Retailers selling shoes for children of all ages

Children's shoe stores cover the fastest-changing sizes in retail, from first walkers through youth sizes that meet adult ranges, and the retailers listed here include dedicated children's shoe shops with trained fitters as well as the children's departments of general shoe stores. Their ranges divide by use: sneakers and athletic shoes for school and sport, leather school shoes where dress codes require them, boots for winter and rain, sandals for summer, and dress shoes that coordinate with the formalwear in this section. Fit is the specialty of this category: children's feet grow in uneven spurts, sizing differs between brands, and a good store measures both feet, length and width, standing, and fits to the larger foot with about a thumb's width of growing room in closed shoes. Width fittings, whole and half sizes, and extended youth sizes are the stock-in-depth advantages specialists hold over general retailers. Parents should expect a fit check every two to three months for toddlers and every four to six months for school-age children, and should treat a shoe that leaves red marks or curls the toes as outgrown regardless of its condition.

  Bear Feet : Bear Feet Shoes are really shaped like bare feet. That's how they got their name. They use a non-lasted system to manufacture Bear Feet. They want their leather uppers to mold gently to the shape of children's feet rather than force their feet to conform to a particular last shape. Their unique low-tech construction allows feet substantial natural movement so that young muscles may fully develop and new bones grow straight. Stiff shoes bind and force feet into contorted shapes. Bear Feet are soft and allow plenty of room for toes to wiggle and grow strong. The soles of children's shoes should be very flexible. Some brands of natural shoes have hard fiber, cork or thick rigid rubber soles. Children lack sufficient body weight to flex these soles. You can test flexibility by trying to touch the heel of a shoe to its toe. Bear Feet are truly flexible! They use pigskin and cotton linings for breath-ability and durability. Pigskin provides optimal ventilation to help keep feet dry and healthy. Bear Feet breathe naturally.

Fitting as a Service

The dedicated children's shoe store survives because fitting children is skilled work: measuring a standing, possibly wriggling child, judging heel grip and toe room by hand, and knowing which brands run long, short or wide. Retailers here train fitters to those judgments and keep fitting records so the next visit starts from the last measurement. That service model also explains their range planning: the same school shoe in four widths and every half size is an inventory commitment general stores rarely make.

Online children's shoe retailers answer with printable measuring guides, free size exchanges and fit notes per style, and many families measure at a store once and reorder known-fitting styles online. Whichever route is chosen, rotate two pairs for school where possible, since alternating lets shoes dry out and last longer, and pass down only unworn or lightly worn shoes: footwear molds to its first wearer's feet, so heavily worn hand-me-down shoes fit the next child poorly.

Common Questions

How often should children's shoe sizes be checked?

Every two to three months for toddlers, whose feet grow fastest, and every four to six months for school-age children. Growth comes in spurts, so a calendar check beats waiting for complaints, and both feet should be measured, since one is usually larger.

How much growing room should children's shoes have?

About a thumb's width, roughly a centimeter to a centimeter and a half, between the longest toe and the end of a closed shoe. Much more than that trips young walkers and lets the foot slide, causing blisters; much less means the shoe is already close to outgrown.

Do children's shoe stores fit widths?

Specialist children's shoe stores do, stocking narrow, medium and wide fittings in core styles and measuring width as part of fitting. General retailers more often carry a single medium width, which is a practical reason to use a specialist for hard-to-fit feet.
