I went to kmart to buy miss 5 some new joggers/sneakers. Apparently girls only need pretty shoes not practical ones! Out of the 5 styles of joggers there were literally only two in her size! One that was the same as she had only been wearing two month before falling apart and one with laces! So great trick, but until they get better shoe selection still kinda pointless!

Haha I’ve done this before

My nana used to do this all the time for us when I was little (I’m now 40!). Not a new trick but a great one.

good idea, but my son would still like to pick the shoes he likes. If I chose his shoes, he wouldn’t like them.

Great. Now to keep them still enough to get a pattern.

Very clever idea

Really clever mum !

Ha ha, great minds think alike! I actually did this a few times when my kids were younger in primary school. I hated going shoe shopping with them because it always had to be done after school which was always busy because just about every other family went shopping at the same time. Weekends were out because they were at their dad’s place. This did work well for a little while but as they started getting older and developed opinions they wanted to choose their own shoes.

Interesting tip! But my daughter is very peculiar with shoes. So I think I still prefer to bring her with me so she can try them on. Sometimes one foot fits, but the other doesn’t.

Nope. Best way to buy shoes, only way for me actually, is to take them with me to try them on

Great idea and hopefully lots of people start doing it so I don’t feel strange checking shoe sizes.

Love it – great idea – thank you for sharing

Some inventive thinking by this mum.

  Still like for everyone to try on their shoes.

Great tip. I just measure the feet with a foot gauge measuring device, which I have at home, before I go shopping.

This is a fantastic idea. I must remember this one for when my little one is a bit older!

Very clever and would make show shopping for the kids much more enjoyable!

Great idea!!

Oh wow great idea, I have taken a shoe before but this is better

Hahahaha this is hilarious but very clever mum thanks for the tip
