Healthy Children's Feet – Even in Summer

Our feet carry us throughout our entire lives – right from the very beginning. That’s why it’s all the more important that your children’s feet develop properly from their first steps. As parents, you should always be mindful of your little ones’ foot health.

You probably know this yourself: children are even more active in the summer. With clear sunshine and warm temperatures, there’s nothing better for the little ones than playing, romping, running, hopping, and dancing in the garden, forest, or playground. That’s why we’re giving you some practical tips for healthy children’s feet during the warm season.

Tip 1: Off with the Socks!

You might not expect it, but children sweat just like adults – and that includes their little feet. They have just as many sweat glands as an adult foot. So the summer rule of thumb is: get out of the socks! The airier and freer children’s feet feel during the warm months, the better. Their feet produce less sweat and stay dry – making them more resistant to athlete’s foot.

Tip 2: Barefoot, Barefoot, Barefoot!

As a parent, you might notice this regularly: you just watched your child put on their shoes, but the next moment the sneakers or sandals are left aside. Children instinctively do what’s best for their feet: they love to walk barefoot. While exploring the world, their little feet can move freely and develop healthily. The foot muscles, nervous system, and sense of balance are trained almost effortlessly.

Tip 3: Good Leather Sandals for Children

Even if your little ones love to go barefoot: the right shoes for summer are definitely needed. After all, sensitive children’s feet must be well protected from injuries, moisture, and heat. Sandals are best – a sturdy sole protects the little whirlwinds from bee stings, hot asphalt, and sharp stones. At the same time, summer shoes can be worn without socks. A win-win situation!

What Good Children’s Sandals Should Offer

Children’s sandals come in many different styles, materials, sizes, and designs. But not all children’s sandals are the same. Summer shoes must meet certain requirements to be truly perfect for little feet. You should definitely pay attention to the following points when buying sandals. If children’s sandals feature these qualities, you can choose them with confidence.

Correct Shoe Size

Children’s sandals must be neither too small nor too big. If children’s feet have too little room, it’s painful. This can quickly end in tears, the new shoes get tossed aside, and your child refuses to wear them. However, if the sandals are too big, they offer too little support. Your child might fall or lose the shoes while playing.

Children’s feet grow very fast: one moment it’s size 28, and before you know it, you’re looking for size 30 at the next shoe purchase. Children’s sandals in the same size usually only fit for one season. Contrary to widespread belief, children’s shoes should not be bought a little bigger. Only a sandal that fits perfectly offers maximum wearing comfort.

Practical Fastening

Little adventurers need shoes they can put on and take off in a flash. At the sight of a puddle, they want to jump in barefoot as quickly as possible, but on gravel paths, it’s better to wear comfortable sandals. That’s why good children’s sandals have practical fastenings that are easy to open and close.

Note: For optimal support, children’s sandals should always have a fastening! Only then do the shoes fit perfectly. Otherwise, the sandals can be too loose, and your child might slip out of them.

The best are children’s sandals with Velcro fasteners. Quick little hands can open and close the shoes easily. With laces, you often have to help your child. With practical Velcro, little explorers can practice their independence.

Also, the straps on Velcro sandals are a bit wider than on other models, providing an even more secure footing on any surface.

Suitable Materials

Good children’s sandals should be suitable for every occasion in summer. They have to withstand a lot while playing and romping. That’s why they must be made of durable and easy-care materials that are also comfortable. At Haflinger, we offer children’s sandals made of leather – an exceptionally robust yet pleasantly soft material.

Organic Leather Sandals at Haflinger: Quality Advantages

At Haflinger, we offer you natural products of the highest quality – and it’s no different with our children’s leather sandals. For the upper material and lining of our organic sandals for children, we use exclusively natural calf and cow leather. After all, we know: children’s feet are special and deserve only the best shoes!

Leather for Every Sandal

Good children’s sandals must be made of soft and sturdy materials – leather is perfect for this. Leather is nothing other than animal skin and thus a natural product. It is obtained through the tanning process, which also makes it durable. Leather has many positive properties. This natural material is…

• …flexible, as it adapts to every movement of the child’s foot.
• …soft, ensuring maximum wearing comfort.
• …robust, making it perfect for running and romping.
• …durable, as it is tear- and abrasion-resistant.
• …sustainable, because at Haflinger it is exclusively vegetable-tanned.
• …antibacterial, which protects against athlete’s foot.
• …water-repellent when impregnated.

Our Leather Care Tips: Leather is generally very easy to clean and maintain. Dirt can be brushed off with a brush or wiped away with a damp cloth. It’s also worth caring for our children’s leather sandals with beeswax – this keeps them looking beautiful for a long time. Additionally, the leather color shines anew with shoe cream.

Rubber Sole for More Grip

When your child is playing outside, they should be able to do so carefree – this is very important to us at Haflinger. That’s why we offer children’s leather sandals with non-slip rubber soles. They provide your kids with maximum grip and protect them as best as possible from falling.

The rubber sole not only provides more stability on different surfaces. The flexible material supports the rolling motion of children’s feet when walking and running. This promotes foot mobility and allows little feet to develop healthily. Additionally, the rubber sole provides soft cushioning – whether you’re out on grass, gravel, or asphalt with your little ones.

Sandals with Cork-Latex Footbed

We know that no two children’s feet are alike. That’s why our children’s leather sandals feature an anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed. It naturally adapts to the individual foot shape. Like the rubber sole, the special footbed supports the natural rolling movement of children’s feet.

The cork and latex blend promotes your children’s foot health. At the same time, it provides maximum stability when walking and running – so little feet don’t slide around inside the shoes. Thus, the cork-latex footbed stands for highest comfort: thanks to children’s feet!
