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, dd not had a proper shoe fitting in a while and loves picking out shoes. Be good to see if Brantano can rival Clarks.

Entered. Fingers crossed.

Done. It would be fab to be able to get DS's feet measured somewhere else than Clarks.

BuffyFairy · 25/05/2015 14:06

Entered. I'd love to try this, toddler DS is in desperate need of summer shoes. I've never shopped in Brantano before. I find the service and foot measuring bad in Clarks and our local independent is closing down at the end of the month.

How great to get a free pair of shoes, but how can you be an expert after 25 fittings? That could be achieved in two days work. Would you class yourself an expert fitter after working 2 days in a shoe shop? It takes ages to become an expert shoe fitter as there are so many different feet issues to consider. Don't want to put a downer on it but am being realistic.

People who work in shoe shops just learn and use the basics. It's not rocket science! Feet all vary slightly, but fitting shoes is a case of a best fit for the products available.

Sighhhh · 26/05/2015 13:07

Wishing all of you (and myself of course!) the very best of luck!

PinkSnowAndStars · 26/05/2015 14:16

Have entered!! Fingers crossed!!

Fillybuster · 26/05/2015 19:05

All 3 dcs need shoes but I've just double checked and there's no Brantano stores in London :(

billybear · 26/05/2015 19:22

fingers crossed great trial xxx

Puffinlover · 26/05/2015 20:59

Entered. I didn't know they did fitting so would be interested to try them

mrsdiddlydoo · 26/05/2015 22:18

Fingers x not too late!

HopOnTheMonnerBus · 27/05/2015 09:41

Entered.

I used to work in Clarks as did my mum. We had the fitting rules drummed into us which has always made me very wary of anywhere else fitting my DCs shoes.
It would me great to find somewhere out of town that can fit shoes properly.

Would they do it to the standard I was taught though?

26Point2Miles · 27/05/2015 14:50

When will we hear about this, doesn't appear to be stickied anymore?

Gemini06 · 27/05/2015 20:44

Fingers crossed on this one - time for some summer shoes

ineedausername · 27/05/2015 23:11

Done :)

thanksamillion · 28/05/2015 12:06

Wondering when we hear if we've been picked? DD really needs some new school shoes but I don't want to buy some and find that I've been picked

Mulligrubs · 28/05/2015 13:31

Same here, when will we know if we have been picked? Need to get my son new shoes but need to know if I have been picked or not first!

AnyoneForTennis · 28/05/2015 17:41

Ooh it's closed now....

DuploTakingOver · 28/05/2015 20:17

Hope we hear soon
