As the dog days of summer begin to wind down, parents everywhere will be scrambling to outfit their kids for back-to-school. Stores will be immersed with mothers and fathers looking for the most recent crazes and designs for their little ones, and shoes are certain to top the list. And if it’s anything like it is every year, the husbands will be distracted by the latest, and coolest, waterproof shoes for men, leaving poor wifey floundering alone with the children!
One store that we absolutely love is Sport Chek. We can always find what we need and the staff is always very friendly and helpful.
This year, we need to purchase six pairs of shoes! Yes, I said SIX! We need two pairs for each child that is in school, one for indoor and one outdoor pair. Shoes are one of the most expensive part of our Back-to-School list, and thankfully Sport Chek is here and offers a wide variety of shoes to fit everyone’s style and budget.

Kids’ feet change quickly as they age, so it might be necessary to visit the shoe store every couple of months to re-measure and purchase new shoes.
Shoe buying tips:
- Have your children try on shoes with the socks they plan to wear with them.
- Measure your childs feet in store – Have both feet measured, as sometimes one is larger than the other
- The best time to measure feet is at the end of the day when your feet are largest.
- Have your child walk around in the shoe and be sure they feel comfortable
These shoes look super comfy.
