Back to School – Your Geelong podiatrists tips for school shoes.

As kids are getting ready for the new school year, their feet are growing, changing and carrying them through busy days of learning and play.

Back to school season is the perfect time to check in on your child’s growing feet. Correct shoe fitting sets them up for a comfortable and pain free year.

When purchasing new school shoes, remember to take your child’s uniform issued school socks for correct fitting.  Attend a shoe shop that will measure your child’s feet for length and width. Check your child can wiggle their toes freely and there is approx. 1cm from their longest toe to the end of the shoe.

Any queries, book an appointment with our friendly podiatrists at podiatry@belmont for professional footwear and foot health advice for growing feet!
