Bobux
The Bobux brand keeps growing in popularity and spring 2015 looks like being another great season. Trackside Sport, for boys, starts in a little lightweight size EU19 (UK infant 3) and the style subtly changes to Speed Racer Sports for bigger sizes up to EU28 (UK 10). Pretty Paris dress shoe will prove popular for girls and is available in navy or in red. Sizes EU18 (UK2) to EU22 (UK5.5). There is a similar style, Poolside Princess closed toe sandal option, also available in Navy. For older girls we have Wild Flower in red and pastel navy shades up to a size EU28 (UK10). Bobux footwear is created to provide little feet with all the external protection they need in a shoe, but never hinders your child’s feet ability to grow. Bobux shoes and sandals are both lightweight and extremely flexible and make walking easier for little legs.

What size do we go up to?
We’re frequently being asked about how large we take or shoe ranges. We may be called “Little” Wanderers but our main range for boys goes up to UK senior 6.5 (EU40) and UK senior 5.5 (EU38) for girls. We also supply even larger school shoes going to UK senior 8 (EU42) boys and UK senior 7 (EU41) for girls. If your child is reaching or exceeding these sizes then let us know as we can still get larger sizes, in great looking styles, from selected suppliers.

Keep Feet Fit
The Society of Shoe Fitters, of which we are members, is again promoting National Shoe Fitting Week, under the banner “Keep Feet Fit”. This year’s campaign begins on March 28th 2015, to raise national awareness of the importance of well-fitting footwear and the vital service independent shoe retailers, like Little Wanderers, provide to the public.

The Society’s Secretary, Laura West, explains that shops like Little Wanderers “are often the only ones offering a good, professional individual “fitting” service. Young feet are amongst the most vulnerable and parents think that they are doing the right thing having feet measured and then try to buy cheaper than the shop that measured them, what they don’t realise is that all gauges are calibrated differently and the size the gauge says is merely a starting point to a qualified or experienced shoe fitter. A gauge won’t tell you if a child has a high or low ankle bone, high or low instep the start of a bunion or flat feet…the list is long and is taken into account by a professional.”

As part of National Shoe Fitting Week, any child who comes to Little Wanderers to have their feet measured can receive free gifts, balloons, chocolates and colouring sheets, whether they need new shoes or not. We believe that it’s important that your children have their feet measured and shoes checked regularly, to see if they still fit well. We’re more than happy to measure your kids’ feet regardless of whether you want or need to buy then or at a later time.
