Benefits of Flexible Soles for Children
Once your kid starts walking, they would prefer not to be carried wherever you go. Be it the shopping centre, the park or a more formal setting, your little one will look for the opportunity to practice walking. Luckily, SKEANIE shoes have variants and sizes for every occasion and activity. Every model is fitted with flexible soles to adapt to any stresses and changes caused by pressure from prolonged standing or running.

Mystery of kids shoes sizing
Kids grow up so fast. They shoot up into the air and their limbs expand at an unbelievable pace. This makes it difficult to keep them clothed for more than a few months and many parents struggle to find the right sizes for their children. This is even more difficult when it comes to shoes. But it doesn’t have to be. With a few steps from SKEANIE, an Australian online kids shoe shop , you can fit their feet without stress. The first step is to understand how the shoes are sized.

What are the best shoes for children?
Myths and false information abound about children's shoes, and the footwear industry and even some pediatricians are not much help. The good news is once you understand what makes children's feet unique, finding the right shoes-often inexpensively-for kids is easy. At birth, the newborn's foot is soft and flexible, and is loaded with fat. That fat cushions and protects our feet, but when we start to walk, the fat begins to disintegrate. In the coming decades, due to everyday walking-not to mention, perhaps tight fitting shoes-that fat will wear away allowing our foot bones and their rough edges to dig into our skin, often causing corns, callouses, blisters and other painful conditions. Ironically, feet are the only body part that loses fat as we age, yet it's the one place we need it. I'v... continue reading
Children’s Foot Health
When it comes to kid’s shoes, the fashion forward mum will go for expensive models and well-known brands, while some parents will usually just go with any shoe that fits. But if you want to be included in the list of responsible parents, you should take into consideration the factors that affect the health of your little child’s feet before settling for any shoe. As a recognised provider by the Australian Podiatry Association, SKEANIE commits to producing kid’s shoes that support the development of their feet. Kid’s feet are built differently from adults. During the first few months of trying to walk, the soles are filled with fat and the muscles try to find room to grow. When they stand, you’ll also notice that their toes stretch outward while struggling to maintain their... continue reading
