The new school year is quickly approaching, and here at Charles Clinkard we have a wide range of school shoes to ensure your little ones are covered come September.
It can be difficult to find that perfect pair – and they do need to be perfect considering how much time will be spent in them! So, we have compiled a list of our best tips, tricks and advice to ensure you select the right pair for your children this back to school season.
GET ORGANISED EARLY
When starting to shop for new school shoes, starting early will mean avoiding the crowds and you will also have the best selection possible by getting ahead of the other back to school shoppers! But don’t worry – we know children can have unexpected growth spurts, so when measuring and fitting in store our team members can ensure that your child has the most growing room possible, factoring in foot-support and the perfect fit.
THE PERFECT FIT
Children spend the majority of their week at school, so ensuring their school shoes fit correctly is important in order to make sure they are comfortable. It is a great idea to get children measured before looking for school shoes, as all brands and even styles can fit a little differently from one another. Our in-store fitting services allows our professionally trained team members to measure your children’s feet and use their experience and knowledge to recommend styles that will be best for each individual child, as we do also offer half sizes and a variety of width fittings.
Our in-store fitting experience takes place on a one-to-one basis in any of our branches across the UK (that stock children’s shoes) – to book an appointment to have your child measured please click here.
ENSURING COMFORT
Ensuring that their school shoes fit correctly ensures they will be comfortable throughout the long school day. Our trained fitters can achieve the perfect fit with our in-store experience, where they will take into account both the length and the width of a child’s foot, to recommend best fitting styles. Our team members also factor in growing room, ensuring that the right amount of room will be left to add to the child’s overall comfort and health of their feet. We also recommend that children wear their school shoes around the house before returning to school, to ensure that the shoes selected are comfortable and fit correctly.
We look forward to welcoming you to our stores to find the perfect pair of school shoes!
