Girls Western Boots for Your Little Cowgirl

Inside every little girl is a free-spirit - a wild, fun, adventurer who loves to explore, run, jump, play, pretend, and enjoy. For these girls, a shoe that can keep up with them is essential. They don’t need delicate, dainty shoes; they need something that will play right along with them. So what is the perfect fit for your little girl? Girls western boots. They’re versatile, fun, and can add a whole new dimension to playtime.

Kids’ cowboy boots are not only cute, they are practical. They can be worn with a wide variety of outfits, including jeans and dresses. They are great for school, parties, special occasions, or just playing around. The most important aspect of choosing the right sizes. Without the right fit, the boots will be uncomfortable, and they’ll spend their lives in the back of the closet.

To fit a shoe properly, go to the shoe store and use their measuring device. This tells you clearly what size shoe to look for. When you go, make sure your child is wearing socks. If the boots are for general wear, select socks that are the same thickness as those she typically wears. If she wears thick cotton socks, trying on boots with the in-store stockings will result in a poor fit.

When your child has a cute pair of boots on, stick your pinkie into the heal of the boot. It should be a snug fit. Also do this at the ankle. At the same time, check the interior of the boot. Will it cause blistering? Are there rough or potentially uncomfortable seams? Finally, feel the tip of the shoe. You will see moms doing this all the time, and they are looking for about a half inch of space between the big toe and the end of the shoe. If she can’t wiggle her toes, she needs a bigger size.

These boots are made for walking, so make sure your child can actually walk in them. Toddlers, for instance, may not like the high top of a boot because they are just learning to walk and need more support at the ankle. Ask your child if her foot is sliding around when she walks. Pay attention when she walks; you may be able to spot discomfort, even if she says she loves the boots.

You can also try shopping for boots at the end of the day. Cowboy boots need to fit well in order to feel good, and later in the day is when your child’s foot will be at its largest. Sounds odd, but after being on your feet all day, they swell a bit, even children’s feet. This will help ensure that the boots feel comfortable all day.

Finally, give her some choice. You may want to set some ground rules, like no heels for your toddlers, which is entirely understandable. But within your rules, give her choice. Does she want red with black stripes or pink with purple hearts? The fit is the important part, but make sure she chooses something that stands a good chance of being liked in a few months.

Every little cowgirl needs a great pair of boots. And if you choose well, these boots will be constant companions through many adventures.
