Ahead of the upcoming new school term, Brantano is launching its Walk to School campaign and is encouraging children and parents to pledge to walk to school more often. The campaign is designed to raise awareness of road safety, health and the importance of correctly fitting shoes.

As part of their Walk to School campaign, you can submit questions to Brantano expert Louise Williams, Training and Development Officer. She will answer your questions about the importance of getting your kids feet measured, the dangers of not having correctly fitting shoes and what sets Brantano apart from the rest.

Post your questions to Louise on this thread before 17th August and we will send 20 questions over for her to respond to. We will then post a link to her responses on the thread on 7th September.

Everyone who adds a question (regardless of whether it's answered or not) will be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will win a £100 Brantano voucher.

This Q&A is sponsored by Brantano.

Thanks

I know when little ones are little you should get feet measured about every 6/8 weeks but mine are now 6 & 9 years. Is this still necessary? How often should their feet be checked? Is termly enough or should they be done at half term too. My kids seem to grow all at once!

How can I tell whether the person fitting my daughter's shoes is doing a good job? Some seem to be more thorough than others, and I'm pretty clueless.

My dd has one foot bigger than the other. Is it harmful to wear an insole in one shoe?

I'd also like to know about second hand shoes.

My DD has several pairs that were all measured to her feet, quite expensive and then got relatively little use. I have saved them to use for DC2 (all being well, currently pregnant) but I was told you shouldn't pass shoes down until they are much older which seems very wasteful.

Also, how often should I be getting my daughters feet measured?
