At STOMP KIDS SHOES our Trained Fitters go through a fitting program run by a trained podiatrist. This program aims to give our Trained Fitters up to date knowledge in regard to kids feet and shoes and the best possible fitting skills.

Our Trained Fitter will measure both of your child's feet and then measure the inside of the shoe to ensure we find the best fit for your child's feet. This measurement allows for a minimum 12mm, max 17mm of growing room to allow for future movement and growth. They check that the back of the shoe is shaped to support the heel and look at the overall fit to ensure there is no signs of creases in the tops of shoes, slipping as your child walks and excessive gaping. Our Trained Fitters will ensure your child gets the right shoe and fit for his/her feet.

At STOMP we have teamed up with one of the most significant breakthough products in the industry, the Plus 12. The company were undertaken to research children's feet in Austria with alarming results. 69% of all children surveyed were wearing outdoor shoes that were too small, only 3% of all shoes measured were the correct size ie. Shoes marked 30 were only a 26-29!! To read more about the research and what the plus12 is all about click on the link below. We are so confident in this measuring device that we have recently undertaken the distributor rights for Australia & New Zealand and we will be expecting stocks that can be sold to consumers shortly.
