Footwear for children should be carefully made. Appropriately shaped sole and upper of the shoe must provide stability, especially while learning to walk, as well as minimize the risk of abrasions of feet. Shoes must be lightweight and comfortable but also correct minor posture problems and they should not contribute to the development of flat feet. Therefore, when choosing a proper pair one should not only take aesthetics into consideration. It is also important to remember that a child grows quickly and for that reason he or she should be provided with new shoes relatively often – naturally, in a larger size.
