MNers needed to visit a Brantano store to buy shoes for their DCs - vouchers to be had! NOW CLOSED

We have been asked by the team at Brantano to find 95 MNers to visit their nearest Brantano store (over the next few weeks) to get their DCs feet expertly measured and fitted for new shoes (the new shoes will even be included!). As part of this, they would like you to give your feedback on the fitting service that you and your DC experienced in store (range, expertise, pricing etc).

Here's what they say "Brantano is proud to offer a free kids shoe fitting service, with staff trained by top brands such as Clarks, Start Rite and Hush Puppies. The team are put through rigorous training followed by at least 25 supervised fits before being given the title of ‘expert fitter’. What’s more, Brantano offer convenient out of town shopping with most of its stores located on retail parks making the shopping experience unlike many other traditional footwear shops, as the shoes are displayed in pairs that can be easily selected and tried on immediately."

Each tester will receive a voucher which can be redeemed against one pair shoes (to the value of £50) at their nearest Brantano store.

For the free kids shoe fitting service, testers would need to visit a Brantano store between the 1st and the 21st June, so please only apply if you're available during this time.

After visiting your nearest Brantano store, we'd need you to post on a feedback thread on Mumsnet.

Every tester who posts their feedback will be entered into a prize draw, where one winner will receive a £100 Brantano voucher.

Done :)

AGirlCalledBoB · 20/05/2015 20:06

Entered I too have never been to this store despite it being quite close to me so will be interested to see if they are any good.

2Warriorsandawish · 20/05/2015 20:19

Done

florencebabyjo · 20/05/2015 20:19

I would love this one as ds has very wide feet and really needs expert fitting. I like the sound of going out of town as traipsing a hoard of grumpy kids round shoe shops isn't fun!

OriginalHugsy · 20/05/2015 20:41

Be great timing for us too! Signed up

SherbertDip · 20/05/2015 21:09

Done - wasn't aware Brantano measured

RandomMess · 20/05/2015 21:11

Not one near us unfortunately Sad

DS2 feels very hard done by as he only has one pair of shoes whereas DS1 has two pairs (one pair are school shoes) so this could help with household harmony!

lostscot · 20/05/2015 21:21

Fingers crossed as Ds needs shoes!

steppemum · 20/05/2015 21:28

done.
I like Brantano, becuase they have clarks + hush puppy + other brands, so there is a choice of cut and fit.

The testing is supposed to start on 1st June - given that that is AFTER half term, any chance that you could do it the week before???

Tapasfairy · 20/05/2015 21:32

Oh yes my daughters Clarks have just gone at the front.
I'd like to try Somewhere else as she has feet that are difficult to fit.

fromagefamily · 20/05/2015 21:34

Done! Fingers crossed!

Starlightbright1 · 20/05/2015 22:51

Done ..fingers crossed

VelmaD · 20/05/2015 23:30

Entered. Only mentioned to ds2 this morning he needed his feet measures and new school shoes. He's had boots for years for hyper mobile joints he is just starting out in normal shoes, and never gets anything like this so fingers crossed!

TheTigersComeAtNight · 21/05/2015 03:24

I've signed up. My dd is starting preschool shortly and I didn't realise Brantano did shoe fitting. It's nice that there is an alternative to the limited range available at Clarks.

sofahogger · 21/05/2015 07:00

Entered, fingers crossed.

AngelBlue12 · 21/05/2015 07:57

I've entered, got 3 DD's that need shoes so a voucher for one pair would be great.

LuckyCornish13 · 21/05/2015 08:02

Done Smile

ALittleFaith · 21/05/2015 08:56

Ooh yes entered too. I think DD needs the next size up now!

SaltySeaBird · 21/05/2015 11:12

Oh me please! DD has just had a foot growth spurt and is saying her new shoes brought 8 weeks ago are tight. I took her to our lovely local children's shoe shop to be measured and she has gone up a size. As they were closing down they had none in stock.

We have a Brantano about 10 minutes away but I've not been in for years and didn't realise they did children's shoes!
