Starting Pre-School with Start-Rite Shoes

Advertorial with Start-Rite.

Florence,3, starts Pre-School in September and whilst we’re both ready to be honest (hello making deadlines without a whining child in the background) and a chance for her to learn and socialise in a more formal setting, it’s pretty emotional! A milestone for us both, it’s time to let go a little and see my star shine solo a couple of days a week not far from our new home. 

Preparing her has been key this August, and that means getting her uniform and shoes ready. Visiting a Start-Rite shoe shop to fit her shoes professionally, we opted for the Charlotte style in patent, which were very similar to my own first pair of pre-school shoes! Aww!

Start-Rite are incredible and are available from £40!

Read their USPs below:

• Start-Rite shoes support natural movement, while offering the right comfort and support which is essential for your child’s physical development.
• Start-Rite shoes are expertly engineered for durability. Built to withstand scuffing, our school-proof shoes will last the whole year (unless they grow out of them first!).
• Start-Rite has one of the largest selections of school shoes on the market.

It’s important to get your child’s feet measured!

Having children’s feet measured and shoes fitted by a professional is important for healthy foot development.

Start-Rite shoes are fitted footwear, designed to support developing bodies. Start-Rite shoes are available in multiple widths, whole and half sizes, so an experienced fitter can recommend the best fit for each child, which should offer comfort and support, with growing room built in.

Poorly fitting shoes can lead to discomfort, blisters, and potentially long-term health problems.

Get professionally fitted for Start-Rite shoes in over 200 high street independent shoe retailers, John Lewis and Charles Clinkard nationwide. 

Start-Rite shoes are crafted with over 230 years of experience in fitted footwear, designed to offer superior comfort, support, and durability.

Their shoes are made with high-quality materials that are breathable, flexible, and easy to care for.

Start-Rite shoes are also podiatrist-and of course, Florence approved!

The brand kindly sent Alexander some of their robust Rhino Warrior school shoes. This super tough and durable school shoe is designed to last – no matter what the kids get up to. Scuff resistant toe protection helps the shoes look school-ready for longer too so you get more for your buck. Lightweight flexible sole and easy rip-tape fastenings are ideal for boys in a rush. Padded ankles provide comfort and support all day long – not forgetting the breathable linings and removable insoles to keep feet fresh. This style is part of their Rhino range, for older boys and ideal for my sports-loving son!

Thanks, Start-Rite!
