Need Kids' Dress Shoes? Look No Further Than Oh Hi!

There's no specific age when people start caring about what they wear, because even children care about their outfits. However, they know a special occasion comes when you fuss about suits, party clothes, and your kid's dress shoes. 

This footwear comes in different styles and usually matches your child's party wear. The question is, what kinds are there?

As with all kinds of footwear, dress shoes must provide comfort and support so your child can enjoy the festivities. This way, parents can have fun if they are also guests. So, the task is finding the best shoes to make everyone happy.

Here comes the team at Oh Hi to save the day. First, we will explain what you should look for in dress shoes. 

While we know you want the cutest pair for your child, you also need to look at features beyond the aesthetic, especially if they have developing feet and they will wear it for hours. If you're ready to dive into it, so are we!

 

What do I need to look for when choosing?

Buying dress shoes is like shopping for school footwear because you must ensure it protects your developing feet. In addition, they must always be comfortable because blisters can make them cry and cause tantrums. 

So here are the things you need to look for when selecting dress shoes.

 

1. Find the right size and fit.

Parents usually look at the length of their child's foot when getting their size but neglect to get the width. When getting dress shoes, ensure you get both and that the broadest part of the footwear aligns with the thickest part of the feet. 

We recommend taking their size in the afternoon when their feet have swollen so that you can account for the increase in size.

Fit is essential when discussing your child's comfort. For example, buying dress shoes that are too small can cause deformities and foot problems. 

Look for styles that have rounded or squared toes to give their toes enough space to wiggle. They must be able to spread their toes naturally because it impacts their stability and balance.

The available dress shoes for boys at Oh Hi come in the following sizes: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Meanwhile, the sizes for girls are 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, and 11. 

Ensure you have your child's accurate Oh Hi size to get the correct pair of footwear.

 

2. Heel

The available styles at Oh Hi have tiny heels, except for a few for girls. However, you need not worry because block heels evenly distribute your child's weight. More importantly, ensure the dress shoes have firm heel counters to keep their feet steady. 

 

3. Check for flexibility.

The dress shoes must copy the natural movement of your child's feet when they move. When checking for flexibility, bend the footwear to see where they fold. The dress shoes must turn effortlessly until the ball, but not further than that. 

Never get footwear that is too stiff and would require breaking in. Unlike adults, children's feet are still developing, so their formal footwear must be ready to wear comfortably at the onset. 

 

The Styles at Oh Hi

Let's get to know the Oh Hi brand of dress shoes. Of course, the characteristics we mentioned are all essential. But, aside from ticking all the boxes, they are stylish and will make the occasion more memorable for your child.

 

1. For Boys

The formal kids' dress shoes for boys are lace-ups and pull-on types. The lace-up comes in black and tan, matching most suits and tuxedos. We recommend pairing the tan dress shoes with blue suits. 

Like sneakers, the laces provide an adjustable, comfortable, and secure fit so your child can go around hassle-free when playing sports. Your young son will loop dapper wearing these perfect pair of formal footwear with their smooth finish and sleek shape.

Meanwhile, the pull-on styles come in boots and classic formal footwear. Without fastenings, this traditional footwear employs elastic side gussets that expand to accommodate any foot shape. 

The timeless and classic shoe has a square-toe design, while the boots have rounded toes. Both styles of formal footwear are ideal for your son's toes, so get whichever one they prefer. 

Boots are suitable for winter occasions since they cover the ankles. On the one hand, the shoe version adds more style with its stylish stitching and smooth finish.

Choosing any of the boys' formal footwear at Oh Hi will make your child look like a dapper gentleman at the event.

 

2. For Girls

Formal kids' dress shoes for girls have more styles and colours. Your child can wear Mary Jane flats with a slim top strap for added security as they run around the venue. 

This adorable pair of formal footwear has sparkly hearts that elevate your child's cuteness factor. 

The next style is ballet flats with a glittery finish. But the cuteness doesn't end there. This formal footwear has an elasticised lining at the opening and a cute bow at the top. The soles will make your child feel like walking barefoot.

The last style is appropriate for older children: ankle-strapped, slightly heeled sandals. This formal footwear comes in different colours, making your daughter feel like a princess in a fairy tale. 

As mentioned, the block heels are comfortable, so you don't have to worry. In addition, the buckled ankle straps ensure the formal footwear stays where it should be and keep your child comfy.
