Is there anywhere?

[Strangeness]

I can get a foot measurer for Aaron? I constantly worry that his shoes will get too small without me noticing! I can't keep going into town to get them measured all the time so would be much easier if I could do it at home. Any ideas? Anyone got one?

I always used to take Josh to Clarks. I think they only need measuring once every 6 weeks and at least you know its done properly.

Cant find any foot measurers online, I would of thought they would do them somewhere though

Hi

If found one on ebay at the mo, type in foot measuring as a search and it should come up, but make sure you typr measuring and not measurer (as I got no results with the latter)

I have seen shoes in matalan and on the soles of the shoes they have a measuring thing! so basically you put babys foot against it and it tells you if the shoes are too big, too smal or just right etc!!! if that makes sence !!

Dont be shy about going into clarks, they are very good and if they dont need shoes the wont try and talk you into it. I always go to Clarks, the selection isnt that great but the service is fab and I always know im getting good fitting shoes.

My mum always says get you knickers from Marks and your shoes from Clarks and you cant go wrong.

If you go to one of the clarks sale shops they have a bigger choice of shoes as they're old stock got Abi a fab pair of cruisers for £7

I took Braydon into clarks the other week and they told me to not get him new shoes just yet as he was still fine in the old ones

Now after having worked in a shoe shop, I would suggest you dont get one. The only give a rough guide and do not even nesisarily mean that they will fity that sive shoe as even same make shoes have variation in their sizes. A trained child shoe fitter will tell you what shoes are suitable for your child from feeling their feet in a shoe, a measure is just a rough guide. So you are better off getting shoes checked and fitted in store.

To give you a rough guide for checking yourself, when feeling for toes, you want to be looking for a thumbs width bwtween their big toe and the tip of the shoe. And for a width fitting, you should not have a visible gap down the side of the foot and the shoe, but when rubbing your thumb along the side and over the top of the foot you should be able to feel some space between them, not the foot right up against the material. You could always talk to the shoe fitter next time for a demonstration and they can show you what to look for and how to feel their feet.
