🧑🏽🏫 School is almost back for 2026!
This is your friendly reminder to check your children’s school shoes to ensure they’re providing enough support for busy school days. ⛹🏼
👟 What should you look for?
- Ensure the shoes are the correct length and width, allowing toes to move freely. A thumb’s width of space at the front is a good guide.
- The back of the shoe (heel counter) should feel firm and not collapse when pressed to help keep the heel stable.
- Laces or Velcro straps help keep the foot secure inside the shoe.
- The shoe should bend at the toes, not through the middle.
- Most importantly, the shoes should feel comfortable straight away!
