What To Look For In A Good Pair Of Back To School Shoes

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

Having fitted shoes for many years and also being a member of the British Society of Shoe Fitters below are some pointers to look for in getting your son or daughter a good pair of shoes.

  1. The upper portion of the kids’s shoes must be made of leather, canvas, or the newer mesh materials of quality. Children’s feet perspire greatly, and the upper part of their shoes should be made of breathable materials. Leather or canvas allows the foot to breathe. Make sure the insole is made of absorbent material. You may also want some extra padded insoles. Avoid man made material, such as plastic as it is like suffocating the feet in a plastic bag and considering that they wear it for an average 8 hours a day the long term could be permanent damage to the feet. That is why we, at Kenneth Cole shoes endeavor to bring you the latest quality, stylish, yet seemingly comfortable footwear at reasonable costs for everyone.
  2. Avoid high heeled shoes; there are 3 reasons for this. First and foremost, it reduces the possibility of the child getting a twisted ankle due to a very tight shoes. Secondly, it can aggravare conditions like pronation or supination. Every human displays a degree of pronation or supination, but in children it can be aggravated by wearing inappropriate high heeled shoes. Thirdly, high heels can cause the foot to slide forward, cramping the toes against the shoe.
  3. For a new pair of school shoes, if you cannot get your finger at the back without the child squeezing his or feet then you have bought the wrong size. The best pair of shoes will have this tolerance built into it so you do not have to upgrade to achieve it.
  4. Kid’s are not meant to break into a new pair of footwear. Once they do it is the wrong type of shoes for their feet and thusly should not be worn in the very first place, since it can lead to a permanent foot damage.
  5. Have your kid’s feet measured at least every three months, when parents come into the shop the first crucial thing to ask is what is the child’s shoes size. We do this because we want the parents more involved in the awareness of their child’s feet development; Most parents are often surprised when they discover that their child’s shoe size has moved on 2 or more sizes since their last new pair.

I wish these guidelines will enable you to make the correct decision in getting your child the best pair of footwear you can afford. Thank you for taking interest in the proper development of your kid’s feet.

Juicy Couture Kids Shoes - Get The Children In Style

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

Playing dress up is one of the memories that most kids have and hold special in their adult days. At least it was for me, but I’m a girl, I am not sure if it’s different for girls and boys, but I had two brothers and they are both very masculine, but both of them enjoyed playing this game. Trundling around in your mums evening dresses and shoes is so much fun. Children today, may not have this pleasure now that Juicy Couture Kids Shoes are available, because many of these designs are replicas of fashionable adult shoes.

Talk about being too cool for school, in these shoes, that is exactly what you kids will be. Although you will be hard put to impress on you kids that they can’t wear these shoes for school, they will want to wear them everywhere, everyday. The names behind the Juicy Couture brand, Pamela Skaist-Levy and Gela Nash-Taylor live in Pacoima, California and initially when they launched their fashion label, they wanted to make it affordable for everyone. But things changed fast and now it is one of the most exclusive labels available.

As a marketing ploy these two ladies had one of their tracksuits embroidered with the words “Madge” and they sent it with their compliments to Madonna. She liked it and was seen wearing it, and the brand took off to become an overnight success.

Initially this was a very limited brand, but in the late 2000,s they established a flagship store, situated in New York, where else, but on Fifth Avenue? Now they have stores in Tokyo, Milan, Hong Kong, Beijing, Kuala Lumpur, Kuwait, Jakarta, Shanghai, Washington DC, Chicago, Atlant and Texas. And these products can also be purchased from various online stores.

This label is not only about kids shoes however, they make clothing for adults and children, as well as maternity wear. They design and manufacture every accessory imaginable and their labeled accessories, clothing and shoes are in huge demand. Kid love, it, adults love it and pregnant women love it.

This company has found itself in hot water once or twice and various organizations and parent have criticized their use of slogans. The company has not single slogan which it makes use off, but knocks slogans off right, left and centre at will.

The general consensus from the naysayer is that the word “Juicy” which is embroidered across the seat of the track suit pants is too provocative. But I say if they don’t want it, they shouldn’t buy it, simple as that! We all have choices in this world and no one makes you buy clothes for yourself or your kids that you don’t want. While those that do want these items of clothing shouldn’t be stopped by prudes.

The Juicy Couture kids footwear range comprises of both shoes and boots and the “Mariska” pumps are to die for. They are imaginably cute as well as trendy. They are made in either linen or leather, and they have the most divine curved gold heel with huge gold links decorating them. Any little girl wearing these pumps will feel like a princess. You’ll love Juicy Couture Shoes for Kids.

With summer on the way and style always being one step ahead, the fall range of Juicy Shoes for Kids has already been released. Not only for kids though, they dress adults, pregnant moms and babies. Right now Juicy is one of the best fashion labels available, and I can’t wait to see their next range.
