As the weather gets colder, Brantano would love to hear Mumsnetters' top tips for finding good winter shoes for their DCs.

Brantano say: “As we approach autumn and winter, our stores will stock a range of shoes and boots suitable for little feet in the cold and wet weather. As with shoes, our expert fitters will measure and fit boots making sure they are a comfortable fit for your child. Brantano stores are also conveniently located in retail parks, with most open until 8pm so you don’t have to go too far with your little ones."

So how do you try to find good winter shoes for your DCs? Is there anything in particular you look for in winter school shoes? Do you have any tips or tricks for making the winter shoe shopping experience run a little smoother?

Whatever your experiences are, Brantano would love to hear about it!

Always wear winter socks when trying them on!

We have one pair of wellies, and one pair of ordinary shoes that are quite comfy and good quality. There's no point in get a cheap brand as I find from experience they wear away too quickly or the soles come off faster.

Keep hunting in the charity shops and nearly new sales.

Thank you for all your comments! The winner of the prize draw is fuzzywuzzy :)
