School shoes

NAS71196

My son has developed sensory issues over recent months and in the last two weeks has found a new issue which is causing us serious issues. He needed new school shoes but is absolutely terrified of having his feet measured. Easy you think measure them at home. Done this but now every pair he tries that I order are too tight, feel strange or are just plain uncomfy. He has tried 6 pairs of both startrite and Clarke's and I am losing the will to live. Has anyone else experienced this and how did you solve it? Are there any makes softer or better for sensitive feet?

  • I don't know how old he is... I used to buy my son one pair of schools shoes and a pair of trainers per size as he grew. Since it's only one, I tired to buy something that were good for his feet. Have you tried Birkenstock or Camper? Both offer free returns/exchanges through the post if you order online. Birkenstock also make incredible insoles/footbeds, if in the end DM's or any other show will do with a comfy insole, which could be a less expensive route.
