Do you worry your child has flat feet?
Parents often ask about the lack of arches on their children’s feet, worrying they may have flat feet, but if your little one is not yet at school it really shouldn’t be a cause for concern. For most children, arches become visible between the ages of 3 to 6 years old. At birth, babies’ feet are covered in a layer of fat to protect their developing bones. The fatty pads underneath the inner arch are covered in sensory receptors, increasing the surface area of the foot in cont

When to measure?
"How long will these shoes last?" ... how I wish I had the answer! It is the most natural question to ask at a fitting but the truth is every child is different and there is no predicting how and when their feet will grow. Some children's growth is slow and steady, while others don't grow for some time and then have a massive growth spurt. Over time you may detect a pattern to your child's growth, however, there is never any harm in having the fit of their shoes checked. All

First steps ...
First steps, first shoes Those tentative, faltering first steps ... magical moments to be treasured forever! Thoughts naturally turn to protecting their precious little feet, however, there is no rush to put them in shoes. Walking barefoot or in a pair of non-slip socks will allow your little one to learn about balance and establish their natural walking pattern and body position.
