Should kids wear hand-me-down or secondhand shoes?

No. We strongly discourage parents from putting their children in used shoes. After a shoe has been worn by one kid for a while, it forms to the shape of their specific foot. Kids' feet need proper support to promote healthy development and avoid foot problems down the road – putting them in shoes that are already worn down in places puts them at risk for the wrong kind of support.
