Easy On, Easy to Wear: What Parents Look For
Hook-and-loop straps let children dress themselves. Elastic laces turn a lace-up into a slip-on. Flexible outsoles let kids run at a reception. Parents with several children often buy matching colours so a family photo looks tidy. Dressy slip-ons with a polished finish suit kids who resist buckles. Metallic and white pairs suit flower girls, and black or brown leather suits ring bearers and junior groomsmen.
Sizing and Growth Between Events
Measure kids' feet every few months, since growth spurts are common. Leave about 1 cm at the toe. Cushioned insoles help during a long ceremony. Families dressing up together can shop the women's dress shoes and men's dress shoes pages, and a flower girl can match the bridal party from wedding shoes. Try shoes on at the end of the day, when feet are slightly larger, and check the heel for slipping. A flexible outsole lets kids run at the reception, and a padded collar prevents blisters during a long ceremony. Pack a spare pair of socks for a wedding day, and bring a wipe for scuffs between photos and dinner.
