Does climate change affect footwear choices?
This September, we have had rainy and cloudy days, as well as mild and sometimes very hot days. According to what climatologist Mário Marques, from Plano Clima, told us in an interview with Sic Noticias: “What we are seeing is that, since 2016, there has been a tendency, especially in mainland Portugal, to have peaks. There is a sudden increase in temperature and, after two or three days, a sudden drop.”
And what does this mean for our little ones’ feet?
Temperature changes can make it challenging to choose the right footwear for your child's daily routine and have a direct impact on their well-being. Children's days are full of activity, including classes, breaks and extracurricular activities.
Today, there is no longer as much need to have exclusive summer or winter clothing or footwear, since “atmospheric conditions are changing rapidly between good and bad weather, with some temperature fluctuations”, as an article from nit.pt from 11/09/2023 tells us.
At Pituka Wear, we are aware of this issue! Most of the footwear we sell takes sustainability into account, and we always give preference to local products or recycled materials. In addition, we like to work with brands that care about a greener and healthier world for future generations. Make the right choice for your little ones' feet. To do so, here are our suggestions:
- Boots
For colder days, Aldize boots are ideal. Comfortable and stylish, they keep little feet warm with their soft and cozy lining. They offer durability, ensuring stability on any surface.
- galoshes
On rainy days, Victoria Animals Wellies bring joy to our little adventurers. With vibrant colors and adorable designs, they are lightweight, comfortable and sustainable. Everyone will want to dance in the rain!
- Sheep
For mild temperatures, Pituka Wear Sheepskin Boots are super durable and perfect for all occasions. Made with natural products and with a non-slip rubber sole, they keep little feet happy.
- Tarps
And when the heat gets really intense, Igor's Berri MC Canvas Shoes are made from 100% organic cotton and are ideal for keeping little feet cool and stylish. The non-slip rubber sole matches the color of the canvas and is easy to put on.
