It is more common for a child’s foot to grow in spurts rather than at a steady even pace, so it is important that the foot is checked every 6-8 weeks to see if any growth has taken place.

We offer a free fitting service undertaken by fully trained fitters and are recommended to the patients of local pediatrists and physiotherapists. Children’s feet are soft and fragile, therefore you should always have your child’s feet measured and shoes fitted by a trained shoe fitter.

We methodically check every aspect of the shoe on the foot. A correctly fitting shoe should have at least 10mm of toe space to allow for growth. The shoes should be the correct width and fit snugly around the heal without any slippage occurring when the child walks. We will always measure both feet individually, not just to obtain a shoe size but to gain more knowledge of the characteristics of your child’s foot so we can advise the appropriate choices from our stock.

Children’s feet are in a constant process of growth and will grow 2½ sizes per year, slowing down after the age of five to 1 size per year. It is more common for a child’s foot to grow in spurts rather than at a steady even pace, so it is important that the foot is checked every 6-8 weeks to see if any growth has taken place. We are always happy to check your child’s existing shoes to see if they are still the right size.
