The One-Shoe Mystery
For the longest time, we couldn’t figure out why our child kept kicking off one shoe—always the same foot! It was exhausting constantly putting it back on, and sometimes we’d end up leaving one shoe behind unaware. Things got even trickier once they outgrew velcro shoes, and tying laces became a daily struggle for us.
Discovering High-Tops & Zippers
Thankfully, we discovered EveryHuman. They offer a variety of footwear designed to help children manage their shoes independently or to support parents and carers with daily care. They have the classic look of lace-up sneakers but only need tying occasionally—daily wear is as simple as zipping them up. We chose high-top styles, which stay on securely and comfortably fit orthotics. They’re also available in a range of zipper placements, designs and colours, offering shoes that support children’s needs while remaining stylish.
Life After the One-Shoe Struggle
Since switching, we no longer have to deal with shoes coming off, and life has become so much easier! The high-top design provides support for both orthotics and the ankle, helping to reduce the falls we used to experience. We’re now practicing zipping up on our own, building confidence and independence along the way. If you know your child’s size, you can order online, or you can book a private fitting for a more personalised experience.
