Required Reading for Parents! The Ultimate Children's Day Gift: Sneakers

Children's Day is almost here in Hungary, so it's time to get the little ones a present! But what's the best gift you can give them? A pair of sneakers, what else! Why? That's exactly what we're answering today!

Children's Day

The last Sunday in May is coming up – and in Hungary, that means Children's Day. In the run-up to it, parents everywhere are racking their brains: what on earth should they give their kid(s)…? 🤔

Well, dear parents, we get it! Not that long ago we were kids ourselves, and we know only too well that you don't always manage to find the best present.

We often found ourselves getting presents that weren't exactly right for our age at the time. At 5 or 6, we had no idea what to do with the world's most complicated strategy board game; at 12 or 13, we stared blankly at a 3x3 jigsaw puzzle. 😳

So we feel your pain – and that's why we'd like to lend you a hand!

We won't overcomplicate things! There's one present that – OK, we're exaggerating slightly – is guaranteed to go down a storm, whatever their age or gender!

sneakers

Obviously it's no big surprise that we're talking about sneakers… But seriously! Who wouldn't be thrilled with a cool pair of Jordans, or, say, a ridiculously fresh pair of Dunks? 🤗

Hang on a sec! If you feel you're not really clued up on sneakers, make sure you click here first and read our post where we explain them in detail. Once you've read it, as a parent you'll probably understand better why a pair of sneakers will put a massive grin on your child's face… 😁

Now, back to the Children's Day present! Let's look at why you can't go wrong if you buy the little ones sneakers!

the decision

The most important thing is that whatever your child's gender, almost any pair of sneakers is a safe bet – because there's really no such thing as men's or women's sneakers!

Sure, there are one or two that boys rarely wear because of their colour (good examples are the Air Jordan 1 Mid Coral Chalk and the Nike Dunk Low Fuchsia), but apart from these few exceptions, basically all sneakers are unisex.

Before you buy, it's much more important to answer this question:

🤷 What colour and style is the lucky new owner into?

First of all, it's good to know that, when it comes to sneaker height, we sort them into three different groups:

• low (let's say these are the low-cut ones);
• mid (the in-between option, halfway between high and low);
• high (obviously, these are the high-tops).

It's worth thinking about which of these suits your little one best, and what kind of pairs they like to wear. That's already a great starting point!

And then there's the question of what colour the gift sneakers should be, and whether an Air Jordan, an Air Force 1, a Dunk or, say, a Yeezy is the right call.

On this (too), we've got one really important piece of advice:

Don't buy the pair you like – buy the pair your child will like! ☝️

Because, believe us, there can be a huge difference between the two! Your best bet is to somehow investigate/sound them out/find out which colour and which brand are closest to their heart! Otherwise you could easily score a massive own goal! If you're really stuck for ideas, give them a gift card instead!

the lifeline

For us, customer satisfaction (or in this case, kids' happiness) comes first!

That's exactly why we offer a 14-day size exchange guarantee on every pair. If you forgot that your kid has gone up a few sizes over the past year, or you were careful but the sneakers you ordered still turned out too small/too big, all is not lost! We'll swap them so a pair in the right size ends up on your child's feet! 👟

And if at any point while browsing or ordering you've got a question, just get in touch – we're always happy to help however we can! We're always around and we reply fast! Just open the chat in the bottom right-hand corner and help is on its way! 😉
