How to Choose the Best Shoes for Your Child

 

Dr. DeCaro discusses the topic of Back-to-School week tips on buying children's shoes on Mass Appeal WWLP.

Buying the proper shoes for your kids can be tricky. According to Louis DeCaro, DPM, sizing is important and kids feet swell, so it’s important to try on shoes at the end of the day. Also, shoe sizes can vary widely – not only by brand but the country the shoe is made in as well.

Look for a firm heel counter, make sure the shoe flexes in the toe box, and look for flexibility in the center. "How a shoe fits is important to a child's foot health," says Dr. DeCaro.
