Jarry Mid children's leather walking shoes - denim white

Can I wear walking shoes for school sports?

No, we would advise you instead to use our shoes/trainers designed for fitness walking, which are equipped with better cushioning and meet the requirements of school sports: non-marking soles for use in sports halls, flexible and lightweight with grip and support.

Orthopaedic soles

For use with "orthopaedic" insoles, take one size up or remove the insoles from your Newfeel children's walking shoes - they have removable insoles!

Heel support

To offer maximum foot support, all of Newfeel's children shoes are equipped with a specifically designed stiffener on the back.

Should you choose one size above the child's shoe size so that they can wear their shoes for longer?

No!If the shoe is too big, your child's foot will not be supported, particularly at the heel. The foot can thus go off to the sides and the shoe is no longer "one" with the foot. The child would therefore risk changing their natural gait, causing it to be compensated for by the knees, hips and back. Nevertheless, the child's foot should not be held too tightly in the shoe. There should be a 6mm space between the end of the foot and front of the shoe.

How to check that the chosen size for my child's shoes is the right one?

The child should first place their foot right to the front of the shoe. You should then press the palm of your hand down on the front of the child's foot to ensure the toes are not curled up.Try and fit your finger down the back of the shoe, behind the heel (right to the bottom) to see if there is enough space (6 mm).If it is a thin finger, the tip of your finger will be about 10mm thick. If you can squeeze it in but it is tight then that's a perfect fit!For more information seewww.newsfeel.com

Should I choose shoes with a marked arch?

No!90% of children are born with healthy feet.They don't have flat feet, they are fleshy! Feet develop muscle and the arch as children grow..Adding an arch is like adding a prosthesis!When removed (bare feet or shoe without arch), the body tries to compensate the imbalance which can cause back pain.For more information seewww.newsfeel.com

I have a little shoe-destroyer at home - how can I choose the most durable pair?

Children tend to use the front of their shoes more quickly.Pay particular attention to the sole. A naturally durable material like rubber will last longer. A sole that "envelops" the foot or even a rising sole will also serve as a "bumper". For the upper, leather is a guarantee of durability and a specially adapted reinforcement will prevent premature wear. For more information see:www.newfeel.com.
