Does anyone buy their kids shoes from an Instep shoe shop?

[IlanaK]

I am struggling to find sandals to fit my toddler from "Normal" shoe shops like John Lewis or Clarks. There is an Instep shop not far from me and I was thinking of going there. Does anyone have any experience of this chain?

Yes, I often get my children's shoes from there. My local one mostly does Start-Rite but they seem to have a slightly better choice than the other local start-rite shop. Also the other shop (an independant) which always used to have a fantastic reputation in terms of children's fitting changed hands and I wasn't happy with the advice given.

They do a collectors card at Instep where you get a stamp each time you buy shoes. Collect so many stamps and you get money off your next pair.
