What to look for when buying Outdoor Shoes for Kids?

When you're heading outdoors with your kids, it's super important to get comfortable footwear that suits the activity they're doing and the climate they're in. Here are a few tips on what to consider when you're choosing your next pair of outdoor shoes for kids.

Material: The best shoe material will depend on what your kids are using their shoes for. For example, leather is sturdy, breathable and can be waterproofed, so is great for hiking boots or shoes. Synthetic materials are usually less breathable than natural materials like canvas and leather so shoes made from synthetics will often need perforations in the design to let their feet breathe. However, synthetics are great for water repellency and are a good choice for warm climates and water-related activities.

Sole Grip and Traction: Kids are prone to slips and tumbles at the best of times and this is something to avoid especially when you're camping or outdoors. Look for shoes with good grip that can handle rough terrain to make sure everyone stays tumble-free.

Buy for the occasion: The elements can be tough in the Australian outdoors and you want your kids' to be comfortable. That's why it's important to ensure they have the right shoes for the activity you're doing whether you're hitting the snow, bush trails or just running around in the park.
