I am going to feel like an old lady here but here goes....
My son got his first shoes just after his first birthday once he had been on his feet for a while. We went to a wee independant kids shoe speciallist and actually got sent away with nothing the first time we went as they said he wasn't walking enough. I was pleased they were looking out for his feet other than just beinginterested in getting sales.
Anyway, he has had a few pairs of shoes now. Everytime we take him he gets properly sized, gets a few pairs to try on and they check his feet several times to make sure they are fitting properly. They cost between £30 and £40 but I don't care, when it comes to his feet it doesn't matter, they need to fit properly.
Am I alone in thinking like this?
Why then do I see legions of kids between 1 and 3 in cheap nasty looking trainers picked up in the local supermaket? No one checks how these things fit, they don't come in different widths and are made of a nasty plastic.
