Every girl is a future woman. Therefore, it is necessary to instill a taste for young fashionistas from a very early age. Many girls are very fond of imitating their mothers or older sisters, and try to dress up according to the laws of adult fashion. Shoes are no exception.
The little girl, wrapped in her mother’s high-heeled shoes, of course, looks cute and funny. But for constant wear, girls need comfortable and beautiful shoes.
Beautiful shoes transform both babies and teenage girls. However, each age has its own foot development features that must be considered when buying shoes. The world of shoes today is quite diverse, so you can choose a beautiful, stylish, comfortable model even for the most capricious fashionista.
Models for girls are quite diverse:
- Mary Jane This classic style of shoes has become the most popular among shoes for girls. And no wonder. Perfect fit on the foot, good fixation with a strap, neat appearance of shoes and a small heel made this model an ideal option for both schoolgirls and little girls.
- Oxfords. Despite the fact that the model is borrowed from a men's wardrobe, it is very popular among girls of senior school age. This model resembles low boots with lacing, and are suitable for formal events, everyday walks. But, since the model is quite closed, it is better to wear it in a warm autumn or spring.
- Loafers. Another stylish and fashionable model this season. Loafers, in comparison with oxfords, have a more feminine look. They look especially nice with decor in the form of brushes. Loafers can also be used both at school and on the street.They give a classic look to their owner.
- Platform shoes. A very interesting model that has a low wedge. These shoes make the girl a little taller, the legs are very elegant. The main thing is not to overdo it with the height of the wedge, because in childhood the arch of the foot only forms, and a high rise can be dangerous to health. And of course, the platform is not suitable for girls of preschool and primary school age.
- The boats. Neat heeled boats look very feminine on teenagers. Children's models differ from adult models with a wider and more stable heel. It is good if the shoes will have an additional strap for better fixation on the foot. Depending on the color or decor, such shoes can be classic, casual or complement the festive outfit. Boats, like wedge shoes, can be worn by girls no younger than 10-11 years old.
- Ballet shoes. Like adult girls, girls are very fond of this model of shoes. Ballet shoes are very light, comfortable, elegant, made in a wide variety of colors. Therefore, such shoes are very popular among teenagers. To create a light romantic look, complementing the airy flowing dress, ballet flats fit perfectly.
One should only keep in mind that young children are not recommended to wear ballet shoes due to lack of heels. Yes, and older girls, too, should not be carried away by the constant wearing of these shoes, since the lack of a heel negatively affects the developing children's leg.
When choosing shoes for a girl, various factors should be taken into account, and first of all, age:
- Up to 5 years. At this age, all children have a flat foot, the arch of which is just beginning to form. Therefore, the main task of the shoes is good support for the children's legs. Shoes should be on a small heel (0.7-1 cm), should have a hard back on the heel. It is not recommended to choose shoes with a narrowed toe, as the girl’s fingers will be squeezed.
The ideal model for the baby will be Mary Jane style shoes with additional straps. And bright colors will help you choose the option for any outfit.
- 7 years. The leg of girls at this age is not yet strong, so the shoes should have a low heel of 1-2 cm. The lineup at this age is already expanding and supplemented by loafers, oxfords, ballet shoes.
- 10 years. Girls are already trying to imitate adults. The heel of the shoes is allowed a height of 2-3 cm. It is quite stable and does not have a negative effect on posture. In addition, heeled boats of this height will give the girl self-confidence and an attractive look.
- 14 years. At this age, adolescents consider themselves adults and try to wear appropriate shoes. However, orthopedists recommend beware of too high heels and stilettos. Ideal at this age is considered a heel up to 4 cm high.
Of course, a girl at this age is difficult to imagine without high-heeled shoes or wedges. But let these models be in the wardrobe for special occasions or holidays, and not for every day.
Material for making shoes is also an important criterion for choosing shoes:
- The most popular is leather. Leather shoes are comfortable, do not allow the foot to sweat, durable. Patent leather is used to create festive shoe patterns. Lacquered shoes with their brilliance emphasize the beauty of the holiday dress.
- Artificial leather is also often used, but it is not as durable as leather.. This material does not allow air to pass through as a result of which the legs can sweat. But faux leather shoes are much cheaper.
- Various types of textiles (cotton, linen, jeans) are used to decorate shoes or to create summer patterns.
When choosing shoes, make sure you have an arch support. This is an indispensable element of high-quality children's shoes. Arch support prevents the development of flat feet.
When choosing a shoe size, you should not save and buy shoes years in advance. Shoes should be easy to put on, but the arch support and the heel should be in place. In shoes larger than it should be, the size of the leg will shift, fall off, which can lead to injuries and improper development of the foot. Enough stock of 1-1.5 cm.
Too tight shoes are also harmful, as they lead to circulatory disorders in the foot.
