How long does your kids' school shoes last?

[LOLMum]

i got a pair of adidas shoes for ds but after a term or two, he complained that his feet were hot (no ventilation in the shoes).


got him a pair from bata and so far okay.

only thing i dont like about shoes here is there is no proper arch support especially for those with flat feet. so need to buy insoles (meant for flat feet).

LOLmum, around how old can we check if the kid has flat foot?

my boy is 2.5yrs old, it is hard to see if he is flat footed like his daddy.

hi wishababy,


from what i know, all babies’ feet look flat because an arch hasn’t formed yet. arches should form by the time your child is 2 or 3 years old.

when ds was about 3 or 4 yrs old, i notice his walk was a bit funny. feet kinda turned in when walking but he never complain about pain which is a good sign.

however when i saw the underside of his shoes (the inner side) was more worn out then the outerside, i knew something was not right. after seeking opinion from a dr, ds was given a pair of insoles. now he walks better wearing them and the worn out part of the shoes is no longer an issue.

i only buy shoes with good arch support for my kids. school shoes is however a problem.

was told by dr that kids who went round not wearing shoes most of the time were found to have stronger feet, with better flexibility and mobility, fewer deformities like flat feet or toes that curve inwards, and less complaints

The vendor is also operating from TEMASEK Primary school (1st time) during this school holidays and they only have Raymax. I suggest giving a call to reconfirm the operation hours before swinging down, just to ensure a fruitful trip
