Editor’s Note: This post has been updated and revised for accuracy on April 2022 and reflects up-to-information on the best kids’ shoes in Cyber Monday.
Is there a better way to start the holiday season by buying your kid’s shoes at a discounted price? If you are looking forward to saving money on your kids’ shoes, Cyber Monday is the perfect day to do so!
My Experience Fitting Children’s Shoes
I have been working for a specialized children’s shoe store for the last 10 years. We specialize in children with foot and leg problems, but we provide regular shoe fittings as well. I have fitted thousands of shoes and I am familiar with which shoe brands and which shoe styles are better than others.
As you may know the following Monday after Thanksgiving, known as the cyber day of the traditional Christmas shopping season, is usually the day on which online retailers offer special reduced prices. Let’s take advantage of those sales and buy your kids’ shoes on Cyber Monday.
Did you know that there is a place that releases new deals every hour starting the week of Cyber Monday?
This place is called Amazon and it’s the place I highly recommend for parents to purchase their kids’ shoes when they don’t have a local kids’ shoe store that they trust.
Amazon offers a great variety of children’s supportive and well-made shoes with a great variety of styles at very reasonable prices. During the week of Cyber Monday, Amazon releases new deals every hour!
Whether your kids’ old shoes have finally worn holes through the soles, or whether you just love stocking up on the latest footwear fashion, Cyber Monday is the perfect day to save on your kids’ shoes.
Before you choose a new pair of shoes for your child, I want to show you which shoe styles are made from better quality materials that will provide better support for your kids’ feet.
Purchasing a pair of shoes for your child takes a lot more than just scrolling down and searching for one that looks appealing to your eye or that is offered at the best price.
I want you to remember one thing: Higher-priced shoes don’t automatically translate into better shoes for your child. Most shoe styles that I have fitted are reasonably priced, provide excellent support, and they are made of high-quality materials such as leather.
Before buying your kids’ shoes you need to consider the following:
- If your child has wide or extra wide feet, you need to find shoes that are wide enough for your child’s feet.
- If your child is experiencing foot or leg pain certain shoes offer better support, and if you choose the correct pair of shoes then you can significantly reduce or fully eliminate the pain.
- You should always consider the materials that the shoes are made of. Shoes made of low, quality materials can lead to all sorts of foot issues for your child.
To summarize, the type of shoes that you want to provide for your child must provide the following 4 important features:
✅ Support: This feature minimizes the impact that your kids’ feet take every time they become in contact with the ground. To provide your child with a pair of supportive shoes, the shoes must come with a substantial sole and a firmer heel counter. Some parents don’t know where the heel counter of the shoe is located. The heel counter is the back part of the shoes that provides ankle support. Take a look at the picture below for clarification purposes:
✅ Lightweight and flexible: The shoes must provide good support, but they must be lightweight and flexible at the same time to prevent your kids’ feet and legs from easily getting tired.
✅ Quality materials: Shoes made out of leather are the ones that I recommend the most as they will mold to the shape of your kids’ feet and allow your kids’ feet to breathe.
✅ Widths: After fitting children’s shoes for almost 10 years, there is one thing I realized that is quite shocking. There is a tremendous number of children that either have wide or extra wide feet. The issue is that some parents are not aware of this and they end up fitting their children in shoes that are too narrow for their feet. I have fitted several children with wide and extra wide feet and I can confidently tell that it doesn’t matter how wide your kids’ feet are, there is always at least one particular shoe style out there that will fit the shape of your child’s feet perfectly.
I have been helping parents find their kids’ shoes online for the last 5 years. It doesn’t matter if you are looking for a pair of dress shoes for your child with narrow feet, or a pair of soccer cleats for your child with extra wide feet, it’s highly likely that I have fitted those shoes before and I will help you find them!
Let me explain to you why I recommend that you get your children’s shoes at Amazon this holiday season:
Amazon Will Offer Free Shipping for The 2022 Holiday Season and announced that beginning November 5, it will offer FREE SHIPPING in ALL ORDERS with no minimum for the holidays.
You should take advantage of this deal and start getting your child’s winter shoes before that particular pair that your child wants gets sold out.
Like I mentioned before, I will provide you with a selection of the best shoe styles that I have fitted for children that provide all of the features mentioned above. Please keep in mind that I only review shoes that I have fitted before, as that is the only way I can tell how well-made the shoes are, the amount of support that they provide, and how well they fit.
How to Retrieve Your Child’s Exact Foot Length and Shape
One concern I have when parents purchase their kids’ shoes online is whether they are providing their kids with the correct shoe size. That is the reason why I created an article that describes the simplest, yet most effective way to figure out your child’s foot size from home. You can find that article here:

Now that you know your child’s exact foot size, and what features a pair of good shoes must provide for your child, I will provide you with a selection of the best shoes that I have fitted before. Disclosure: Keep in mind that we may receive commissions when you click our links and make purchases.

What Shoe Size You Should Order?
In each of the descriptions of the shoes I indicate whether you need to order a half a size or a whole size bigger than your child’s foot size to provide the correct amount of growing room.
If you want me to describe a particular shoe style such as a summer, sport, or dress shoe, please let me know and I will provide you with a selection of those as well.
Are Any Other Shoe Choices Available?
If none of these shoes are available in your child’s shoe size or if you need the shoes to be made of a specific color don’t hesitate to email me at:
fittingchildrensshoes@gmail.com
In the meantime, you can take a look at a tool I created that will allow you to filter shoe options customized to your child’s unique footprint. The tool allows you to search by the child’s age, type of shoe that you are looking for, whether you want Velcro closure or shoelaces, and other important features, such as whether the shoe will fit a child with a high instep, is waterproof, and/or is capable of accommodating an orthotic. You can find that tool here:
