To think that Clark's can't measure feet

[onetwo345]

So, bought LO some shoes back in July. She was measured as an 8.5E. She tried the shoes on, the shop assistant said they looked a perfect fit and all was good.
Over the next few weeks she kept tripping over. We took her back and got her measured again to check. They said that time that she was an 8.5F, so the shoes she was wearing were the correct size, and width wise she seemed fine wearing the E width so thought nothing more of it.
Anyway, today I thought I’d go and get her feet measured as they hadn’t been checked for 6 months.
They measured her today and she’s an 8F. So half a size smaller than she was 6 months ago?
They got another lady out to check who also measured her as an 8F.
How the hell have 2 people measured her as an 8.5 6 months and and 2 people today measured her as an 8?
I’m slowly losing faith in Clark’s!
I pay the extra to get properly measured and fitted shoes but honestly don’t think I’ll bother again!

By two whole sizes, @zzzzz ? Also, it wasn't especially hot at the end of August!

Do you have a blunts by you? No iPads just old school measuring. They sell Clark's which I hate and startrite. Clark's make my child's feet turn in. Startrite are a lot more supportive but they are more money. I go into blunts and ask for the shoes in the sale and get cheaper shoes.

I always ask for the traditional measuring, I've not been refused yet, they're a little grumpy about it but do do it.

I shop at a Clark’s outlet, traditional measuring there and I have never really had a problem. If I ever do suspect an incorrect measurement I go to Charles clinkards and get measured again..they are usually about the same.
The best thing is to try shoes on ..different designs fit differently so always best to check.
I find Clark’s and start rite comparable in terms of quality.
Buy your own gauge if you think your child will sit for you better you can buy one direct from Clark’s online.
