Kids’ shoes not only need to fit well – they also need to be in good condition. If they’re worn down unevenly, heavily used, or have become stiff, it’s time for a new pair. Shoes should remain flexible, comfortable, and well-fitting to support healthy development with every step.
These signs can help you decide if it’s time to replace them:
- The shoes sag to one side
- The sole is heavily worn down
- The material has become stiff or hard
- Your child complains about pressure or pain
- There’s no longer enough space in front of the toes
