Also these shoes are exposed to dirt, stone, flooring, chemicals, dirt, water and soil. If the shoes give three months’ satisfactory wear under these demanding conditions, the child would have covered approximately 700 miles.

This is a controversial issue. But when a parent is confronted with financial problems – and sometimes a selection of hand-me-downs or no shoes at all – you have to deal not with what is best, but what is realistically practical. In the case of infants shoes problem with hand me downs to the next youngest child is not so serious. Typically, these shoes have only been worn for a short period. The little child is often made small “footprint” inside the shoe, nor has it otherwise bring the shoe out of shape.

Many parents and shoe retailers do not realize how serious it is outgrown shoe problem really is. Several years ago a study conducted in the U.S. including stores that sell children’s shoes. They were asked to test the fit old and worn shoes for children in the store to buy new shoes. It was found that more than 75% of cases were outgrown in varying degrees. In addition, estimated by the fitters that over half of the children had worn outgrown shoes from one to three months, despite the fact that the shoe was of appropriate size when it is mounted. From experience, many children are assembled is changed only shoes that have grown long. It is not surprising that many doctors and chiropodists believe that many or most adult foot problems begin in childhood and that many of these problems are directly or indirectly caused by normal wearing of outgrown shoes for large periods of childhood.

Shoes should always be dried at room temperature, and possibly with shoe trees inserted during the drying period to prevent curling or shrinkage.
