Once your little one can take unaided strides, they are ready to wear their first pair of walking shoes. This may sound simple enough but found in a survey that around 4 million children in the UK wear ill-fitting footwear. Try and pick a model that has a range of whole and half sizes, and a choice of width fittings to ensure you can find the perfect fit.
