They're growing up fast and are out and about more now, getting up to all sorts of activities. But the bones in their feet are still forming, so the right fit is still vitally important.

You might need a selection of footwear now, such as sandals, casual shoes and trainers, wellies and slippers. All are available at Neet Feet. Here are some important things to for,  which you will find at Neet Feet. 

• Whole and half sizes in up to six width fittings from C to H, to ensure best fit
• Effective fasteners so that the child does not have to curl his toes to keep the shoe on properly. Hook and loop fasteners are convenient and also give independence to the child, making her feel grown up because she can do her shoes up on her own
• Softest leather uppers so that they are not rubbing and mould to the contours of the feet. Quality leather is hard wearing and can be dyed right through to keep its good looks for longer

• Breathable linings for maximum comfort, allowing perspiration to escape through the surface of the shoe
  Built in space around the toes to allow for growth. This happens quickly at this age. You should plan to have the fit of the shoes checked the fit every 2 to 3 months
  A selection of colours and styles - children love bright colours
• Trainers are not ideal for long periods, so limit their wear. Rotate footwear to give shoes time to air, and to get more wear out of them.
