As a parent, you want only one thing: for your child to move freely, comfortably, and healthily. Shoes play a much bigger role in this than you might think. Good children's shoes not only support every step but also contribute to healthy foot development. That's why at Maxime Schoenen, we consciously choose high-quality leather children's shoes that do more than just look good.
The importance of good shoes for growing children's feet
Children's feet are developing rapidly and consist largely of supple cartilage. This makes them flexible, but also vulnerable. Shoes that don't provide enough support or fit poorly can lead to problems such as foot misalignment, pressure points, or skin irritation. By choosing high-quality leather shoes with a good fit and a sturdy heel, you give your child's feet the support they need to develop naturally.
Good children's shoes also help to promote correct posture and a healthy way of walking, running and playing — every day.
Why learning makes the difference
Leather is a natural material with unique properties. It's breathable, supple, and conforms to your child's feet. This means a leather shoe fits better and offers more comfort than shoes made of synthetic materials. Leather also lasts longer and remains comfortable even with intensive use.
At Maxime Schoenen, we carefully select our collections based on the quality of the leather, finish, and fit. This ensures that every shoe is not only comfortable but also contributes to healthy children's feet.
Choosing the right size: essential for comfort
A good fit is just as important as the material. Children's feet grow rapidly, especially in the first few years. Therefore, it's important to measure them regularly. On average, we recommend a growth margin of approximately 12 millimeters , measured from the longest toe to the tip of the shoe. This allows sufficient room for growth without the shoe becoming too big.
Shoes that are too small can restrict the foot, while shoes that are too big can cause instability. In our stores and online, we're happy to help you find the right size so your child can keep moving comfortably and safely.
Comfort that your child feels
When a shoe fits well and is of high quality, you'll notice it immediately. Children walk more easily, suffer less from blisters or tired feet, and move around more happily. High-quality leather children's shoes offer the right balance of support and flexibility, preventing problems like overpronation or strain.
Many parents find that their child not only walks more comfortably with good shoes, but also moves more confidently — and that's exactly what it's all about.
An investment that pays for itself
Choosing high-quality leather children's shoes means choosing your child's health and comfort, both today and in the future. At Maxime Schoenen, you'll find a carefully curated collection that combines fit, quality, and style. This lays a strong foundation for healthy feet and carefree walking.
