Resources for parents

Did you know that kids spend, on average, 1,200 hours a year in their school shoes?

The right pair of school shoes with the right fit can support posture, movement, and the all day comfort kids need to grow, focus and have fun.

We’ve pulled together some back to school resources to make shopping a whole lot easier.

Back to school activities for the kids

Keeping kids entertained (and learning) during the school holidays can be a mission! We wanted to make engaging the kids a little bit easier by creating two free activities to keep your kids entertained and curious while learning.

Want some reassurance or personalised advice before stepping into the new year?

If you’re noticing foot pain, unusual walking patterns, or you just want a second opinion before buying shoes, a podiatrist can help.
Find a podiatrist near you and start the new school year with strong steps and happy feet.
