FOOTWEAR

When should my child start wearing footwear?

Generally speaking a child could start wearing shoes after 1 year of age or when they have started walking. Growth comes in spurts so check your children's feet and foot size often.

Babies and younger children can wear soft shoes and booties made from natural materials while bones are still forming in the foot and they are starting to stand and walk. Booties are great way to provide support and comfort to developing ankles and feet. Foot arches do not fully develop until children get older. While they are young, there is a 'fat pad' which is a natural protection for the undeveloped arch and your child's feet may look 'flat' while they are not actually flat.

Buy good quality shoes in sizes and materials that are appropriate for your children's feet.

How do I determine my child's shoe size?

Measuring and fitting are the best ways to size your child's feet. We have measuring devices to assist you and our staff to size your child's foot. We also have an online guide (see above).

Shoe sizes vary depending on the manufacturers and the models. The measured size only recommends a size and it is best to have a fitting session in the store to get the best results. There should be space left at the toes (about a centimetre); and shoe width and heel height are also important factors. We do carry a good selection of wide and extra wide shoes.
