Services
Children's Footwear
We provide a comprehensive selection of children's footwear from trusted brands like Start-Rite and Ricosta. Our collection features multi-width fittings and growing room guarantees to accommodate developing feet. Each shoe undergoes rigorous testing for durability and comfort, ensuring optimal support for active children.
School Shoes
Our school shoe range combines compliance with durability through features like scuff-resistant toes and waterproof membranes. We stock styles meeting uniform requirements while prioritising foot health. Expert fitters help transition children from summer footwear to structured school shoes gradually.
Shoe Fitting Service
Using Start-Rite gauges, our certified fitters conduct precise foot assessments considering length, width, and shape. This professional service translates measurements into accurate shoe recommendations from our extensive brand portfolio. We advise against using these measurements for non-specialist purchases.
Brand Portfolio
We partner with 20+ European manufacturers including Primigi and Geox to offer diverse styling options. Our selection balances continental design excellence with practical features like durable soles and breathable linings. Brands are chosen for their commitment to child foot development.
Fitting Advice
Our team provides ongoing support for parents navigating children's footwear needs. This includes seasonal transition advice, break-in techniques, and identifying fit issues. We maintain educational resources about proper sizing and collaborate with foot health professionals.
Questions
How does your shoe fitting process work?
We use Start-Rite gauges for precise measurements of foot length, width, and shape. Our certified fitters then recommend suitable styles from our multi-width collection to ensure proper fit and support.
What brands do you stock?
We carry 20+ premium brands including Start-Rite, Ricosta, Primigi, Geox, and Pablosky. All brands meet our standards for quality construction and foot development considerations.
Do you offer school shoe fittings?
Yes, we specialise in school footwear with features like waterproof membranes and scuff-resistant toes. Early fittings are recommended to allow gradual shoe break-in before term starts.
Can I return shoes if they don't fit?
We offer exchanges for incorrectly sized shoes when purchased in-store. Proper initial fitting reduces return needs, and our free fitting checks help maintain correct sizing as feet grow.
How often should children's shoes be replaced?
Growth rates vary, but most children need new shoes every 12-18 months. Our growing room guarantee allows for some expansion within this period when shoes are purchased through our fitting service.
What makes your service unique?
We combine Start-Rite certified fitting techniques with access to European brands unavailable on the high street. Our focus on foot health exceeds standard retail practices through ongoing partnerships with footwear specialists.

Great service as usual. The lady who we normally see was fantastic as always. We've been coming here for good shoes since we found out of son has hypo elastic joints and needs solid, tailored support. It's doesn't cost much more than Clarks, but the shoes are far superior, just like the service. We drive an hour each, they are that good!

I took my 13 year old and 8 year old daughter. To this shop first time for school shoes. And would be coming back here. Thanks for fitting my daughters school shoes. My oldest had plain leather while my youngest daughter preferred patent. They fit well and will rather be coming here every year. They last them longer too
