Buying shoes for kids

Buying shoes for kids can be tricky. They may not be able to tell you at the store that a shoe is too tight or uncomfortable. After they wear them once or twice, they end up sitting there unused. In fact, if a child frequently takes off his or her shoes, they may be uncomfortable. Look for sore spots where the shoe may be rubbing, or blisters.
