HUSH PUPPIES
Published:  16 April, 2008

Looking after your children's feet is as important as well fitted shoes. Here are a few easy steps to keep your children's feet in tip top condition.

  1. Keep them clean and dry - feet should be washed and dried thoroughly every day, especially between the toes.
  2. Barefoot - (when it's safe to go barefoot) lets their feet breathe and helps their walking skills develop as they feel the ground beneath them.
  3. Toenails - trim nails regularly keeping them short and trimming them straight. Keeping them short helps prevent in-growing toenails.
  4. Socks - well fitting socks made from natural fibres are best for children's feet. Socks that are too tight pull feet into an unusual shape, and can cause permanent damage. Socks that are too loose can cause blisters if they bunch up.
  5. Measure their feet - we recommend regular fit checks on average every 3 months
Your child is a special individual and with that in mind, our unique fitting system keeps their individuality throughout their growing years. Your child was born with perfect feet and we want them to stay that way.

It's a fact that a child's foot evolves from toddler (containing 45 pieces of developing bone) to adult (in which most of the bones have fused together) by the age of 18. During this growth period, the soft bones must be carefully supported and allowed sufficient room to grow.

Right from the start your child's feet need the very best quality shoes, which are properly fitted. With this in mind Hush Puppies have developed a range of shoes for children which incorporates the unique Fit Left Fit Right System.

ONE IN THREE CHILDREN REQUIRE A DIFFERENT FITTING BETWEEN THEIR LEFT AND RIGHT FEET

Only Hush Puppies have a unique set of precisely calibrated foot beds for each shoe, which tailor the fit individually to each foot if required.

All our shoes come in whole sizes, and selected styles come in half sizes, with E,F and G fittings.

All our shoes have up to 3 months growth room built into them, therefore we recommend that your child's feet should be re measured every 3 months.

WE RECOMMEND AND SUPPLY AN INDIVIDUAL FITTING SERVICE PROVIDED BY PROFESSIONAL TRAINED FITTERS USING OUR UNIQUE FOOT BEDS
