How long should kids shoes wear?
Children are very active, but they rarely wear out shoes. Typically, they grow out of shoes before they wear them out, even kids who are hard on shoes. As a rule, shoes rarely last longer than 3 to 4 months if they are fitted properly. Too large and the shoe will wear out; if a shoe is too small, foot problems develop. Mothers should check the shoes constantly to assure that the shoes are not too small. Shoes are the only piece of apparel that can actually cause damage to bone structure if too small.
