Sneakers have long ceased to be the main symbol of sports and an active lifestyle, having migrated from gyms and from stadiums to the catwalks and streets of cities.
Most young people today prefer convenience and practicality, and thanks to these qualities, they especially liked a variety of models of sneakers.
Let's find out what attracts this comfortable footwear of teenagers the most and how to choose the most high-quality, practical and beautiful pair for your teenager.
Benefits
Undoubtedly, the fundamental characteristic of sneakers is their sporting purpose. Thanks to this, in a pair of these shoes it will be convenient for a child of adolescence to engage in physical education and run with friends on the street.
Depending on the characteristics of individual models, you can choose sneakers for different activities or sports. For example, classic models with a grooved sole will be an excellent option for walking - the convenience, simplicity and the ability to fit into almost any everyday look are very appreciated by young fashionistas and their parents.
For sports, you need to choose a pair with special properties. For example, to attend school classes in the gym, light and breathing models are needed.
For outdoor activities, such as soccer games, athletics training and other sports involving outdoor activities, it is important to choose non-slip and well-absorbing soles.
Fans of active games, such as basketball, should give preference to high-top sneakers that securely fix the ankle, thereby significantly reducing the risk of injury.
Well, for those who are fond of hiking or just like walking over rough terrain, it is recommended to purchase special trekking sneakers - the leg will feel very comfortable in them, since the unevenness of the earth's surface will practically disappear.
How to choose?
In adolescence, young people and girls do not yet have a sense of their own style, it is only just beginning to take shape. Nevertheless, each of them is very sensitive to the choice of wardrobe in order to impress with their appearance on their peers.
Therefore, at this age, parents should be given the freedom to choose the model for the child himself, but leaving the decisive word about the purchase, since your child can still not quite objectively judge the product from a practical point of view.
It is permissible for girls to pick up bright models that can be decorated with prints - stripes, various geometric prints and floral decor are possible. Recently, ethnic abstractions have become very popular - appearing and taking root in adult fashion, they do not keep themselves waiting for teenage specimens.
Boys, as a rule, prefer more restrained colors - muted brown, dark blue, black. But some individuals who want to boldly declare their personality to the whole world, choose bright colors - bright blue, red, green, orange. You can also often find couples that are made in a combination of two shades - bright and muted.
Such models look quite catchy, and attract attention, and are practical and non-marking in comparison with plain bright sneakers.
A very important aspect when choosing is the right size. Adolescents, although already quite old, continue to grow, and, accordingly, the length of their feet also increases. Therefore, buying shoes without trying on is not recommended, so that you do not have to return the purchase as unnecessary.
If you came to the store together with your son or daughter, this will greatly simplify the task, since you will probably avoid disagreements about the appearance of the sneakers by giving the right of choice to your child.
When trying on the foot, you should feel pretty loose in the shoes, but not hang out. When the toes are firmly pressed against the inside of the toe of the shoe, two fingers should be placed in the heel back. Otherwise, the shoes may be small after a short time.
It is very important that air is constantly circulating in the sneakers - this will provide ventilation for the feet, eliminate sweating and the development of fungal infection. Gore-Tex sneakers are available for maximum air exchange.
This is a unique patented technology that provides free air circulation inside the shoe, but at the same time does not allow moisture to penetrate inside.
Membrane fabric is usually located between the inner and outer layer of the upper shoe. Micropores, which are several times smaller than the diameter of a human hair, perfectly pass excess moisture and air from the shoe, but due to their meager size they do not allow water molecules to penetrate inside. Due to this, the leg in such a sneaker will always remain dry.
Membrane models of sneakers are available in various versions and for different seasons. It will be most practical to wear such a pair in the fall, when the rains pour almost without stopping and the child’s legs in ordinary sneakers constantly get wet.
Winter boots with a layer of membrane fabric will work effectively only during sports time - skiing, running. In any case, sweat is released during active physical exertion, which will immediately be successfully withdrawn thanks to membrane micropores.
It is worth mentioning that for everyday wear in winter, sneakers with a membrane will not work - they do not have warming properties (unless, of course, they have an additional layer of insulation), so after standing at a stop for 10 minutes at a temperature of minus 5 degrees, the legs of a teenager are likely to freeze .
What to wear?
Sneakers today have become almost universal shoes worn by people of all styles and ages. Teenagers are no exception.
A correctly selected wardrobe will help your child stand out from the crowd with his developed sense of style and personality beyond his years.
Before helping the child with the choice of wardrobe for a pair of sports shoes, find out his tastes. Perhaps your son gravitates to a restrained classic? Then the best choice would be sneakers shoes of a neutral shade. You can safely pick up black trousers of laconic casual style to them.
Wearing such an ensemble with a shirt and equipping a child with a classic briefcase or diplomat, your student will conquer all classmates with charisma and sophisticated taste.
A naughty rebel who can’t imagine a single day without sports will appreciate your tracksuit. Surely such clothes will be loved in combination with sneakers in an active child.
Girls, especially gentle and touching in this difficult transitional period, will be very happy with things that look like items from their mother’s wardrobe. Short top with olympic? High waisted jeans? A sports bag with a logo of a famous brand? Exactly what is needed. These things will become must-have things in your daughter’s wardrobe, and in combination with sports shoes, in addition to self-confidence, they will give her convenience and comfort.
