I've used Clarks since DD was little but I'm not sure where to shop now?
This is a second chance for Clark's as I had such a bad experience with them last year!
Went to have DD measured the assistant forced the slide against DDs toes it came out at 10e I looked at my partner and he looked at me and we both looked confused as she's already a 10 and her shoes are too small. I said to the lady are you sure it's correct not squashing dd toes she said yes and rushed off to assist someone else. I was so confused I went to another assistant and said the size that we are given does includes growing room!? She confirmed it did. My partner was having non of it so we went to several other shoe shops and DD measured at minimum size 10.5 and was recommended a 11 narrow fitting in several shops. Which I know that all other shoe shops can be different when it comes to sizing and the actual fit of the shoe is the important part.
But her feet measure 175mm in length and Width from little toe join to big toe join is 116mm I went to the Clarks website and requested a size based on this as this is the way Clarks Foot Measuring Gauge works you can buy to keep at home it measures in mm and you contact them to get the shoe size.
They confirmed based on the measurements that she should be in fact be a 11e
My partner is questioning he force on DD toes and calibration of the ipad as it's all digital now.
I know a lot of people who trust Clark's with their children feet maybe I've been unlucky!
What happened Last year,
They ended up recommending a pair then they ended up giving DD a pair half a size smaller than DD had measured! I asked if that was correct and she assured me it was because of the different shoe styles the fit can be different and this was the best fit in that style.
Paid £38! but by December they had come apart from the sole. I went back to the store to change them replace without DD they refused.
Went again with DD they put them on and the lady felt her feet with them on said that they still fitted great and while there wasn't loads of room they still fitted.
Then someone else came over and said they had to measure DDs feet again. DD came out at a whole size bigger than the size of the shoe they provided, which was not a shock to me as they provided her with a half a size smaller shoe but they did not take that into account! I said I bought them on the basis that what I was being told was true! Because it was a full shoe size she had gone up I was entitled to £0 and there excuses for the shoes falling apart was the fact her feet were so big. Yet when I got there the lady said it felt fine still and if not for falling apart she could continue to wear them. They still looked brand new apart from coming apart at the seam join between the leather and the sole.
She had some Amazing ones from her dads parents but they were a Euro shoe size but I can't remember the brand so I dont have access to getting them again.
