Only three shoe stores in Oulu sell children’s shoes – one brick-and-mortar store owner who tried to sell children’s shoes said it was “the company’s biggest mistake”

Kaius Kaila shows the sneakers he bought from a sports store. His mother, Elisabet Kaila, said she first looked for shoes for her children at the Vadelmatarha flea market, and then went to Prisma. Now, the shoes have been found successfully. He is ready to spend about 50 euros on a good pair of children’s shoes. Okusti Kaila lies in his mother’s arms.
