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.

Thanks

Anyone heard anything?

Just found out I've been picked! Thank you so much. DS has big and very flat feet so should put their fitting service to the test!

AngelieMumsnet · 29/05/2015 12:01

Hi everyone - we've just emailed the selected testers :)

Thanks very much. Looking forward to trying this place out. Would be nice to have an alternative to Clarks for fitting and measuring.

?? would have loved this one, but alas no email

Babymamamama · 30/05/2015 01:08

Looking forward to trying this out. Thanks for the email.

OriginalHugsy · 30/05/2015 11:52

No email for me either Sad

vindscreenviper · 03/06/2015 10:08

Just got my email this morning, thanks MNHQ.
DS1 is starting high school in Sept and I've held off replacing his rather tatty shoes but I don't think they'll last the term so this is a lovely surprise!

SagaNorensLeatherTrousers · 03/06/2015 13:26

Just received my voucher in the post! Planning to visit Brantano on Friday. Smile

Caillou · 03/06/2015 19:24

Received the voucher in the post today, I had to sign for it :)

We are hoping to go on Sunday, unless I go into labour before then Grin

RhinosAreFatUnicorns · 03/06/2015 19:55

Thank you! Voucher received today Smile

poorbuthappy · 03/06/2015 20:04

We too received our voucher today....and I have 1 query...
Could I spend the £50 across say 3 pairs of sandals? Just wondering, because sandals are what dd1 will need (who I originally applied for) and the dts (age 6 so still in the demographic) also need sandals...I could possibly do all 3 for the value of the voucher?

SagaNorensLeatherTrousers · 03/06/2015 20:47

I was wondering this poor...originally the wording sounded like the voucher would be for 1 pair up to the value of £50 but the wording on the actual voucher says it's worth £50 (nothing about 1 pair). I'd love to get dd a pair of sandals and a pair of trainers, possibly from the same brand if there seems to be a brand that really fit her feet nicely?

Minisoksmakehardwork · 03/06/2015 21:57

Received voucher today too. Tbh, I could do with the same question as the two previous pp. we'd certainly give them a thorough test if we took more than one of ours to be fitted.
