School’s back, and so is the scramble for new shoes. But did you know that poor-fitting school shoes can affect your child’s posture, balance, and confidence?
At Toe-tal Podiatry, we see a spike in kids with heel pain, tripping issues, or growing pains right after the school term starts. Here’s what to look for:
✅ A firm heel counter
✅ A flexible forefoot
✅ Room for one thumb’s width at the toes
✅ Adjustable fastening (laces or Velcro)
Signs your child may need a podiatry check-up:
Constant tripping or clumsiness
Complaints of sore legs or feet
Flat feet or odd walking patterns
Wearing out shoes unevenly
We also offer kids’ gait assessments and orthotic support for growing feet. Get the year off to a good start—because happy feet = happy learners!
