Shopping for sneakers for your little ones can be a chore, especially with all of the new styles available for kids. From basketball shoes and dress shoes to casual shoes and slides, you’ve got a few options when it comes to getting your kids into a fresh new pair of kicks. Take a look at six of them for some inspiration for your kids.

1. Basketball Sneakers

Basketball sneakers are a popular choice for older kids who can actually play the sport or who just might be a fan of a popular player. If your kid happens to be one of those people, browse some basketball sneakers you think he or she might like. Ask them about their favorite player and you might just have all you need to get them the perfect shoe.

2. Dress Shoes

Still going to church amid the pandemic? Dress shoes might need to be replaced and almost in time for Easter. Get your kids their dress shoes while you still have time. If you already have their outfits, coordinate colors and styles so that everything meshes well together. Your kids will be rocking their attire like a couple of little divas and bosses.

3. Casual Shoes

Casual shoes work for almost any everyday occasion, so why not spring for a few pairs for your little ones?  for both boys and girls so you can get everyone’s shoes all at the same time in the same place. If you’re looking for an everyday shoe, consider an all-black or all-white shoe.

4. Slides and Sandals

Slides became very popular among teens and young adults just a few years ago, and everyone and their mother is wearing them, probably because of the flexibility and comfort they provide. If you’re going for a minimal-effort look for your teen, grab them a pair of slides they can wear to the beach, the store, or anywhere with a casual setting.

5. Boots

Depending on where you live and the time of year you’re reading this, boots might be a good idea not just to keep warm, but to help your child assert his or her own unique style. Whether you opt for a high-end boot or a more simple design, you can find something that your little one will look adorable in.

6. Slippers

We all need something comfy to roam around the house in, so why not get your kids a decent pair of slippers if they don’t already have them. Champion also has a few different styles of slippers for boys and girls. Start browsing to find the perfect little pair for your little ones.

Dressing the Part

Depending on where you’re going and what you’re going to be doing, you’re going to need different types of shoes for your family. Take the above into consideration when shopping for shoes for your kids. If they’re old enough, it also can’t hurt to ask them their opinion — they might just have something in mind already that works for both of you.
