Having your child's feet regularly measured and assessed is vital. It's also important to have a big enough range of sizes and widths to select from, so your child gets the right fit.

Growing room built in

In their first year, a baby's foot grows around three whole sizes, or 25mm. Between the ages of one and five years, it grows about two whole sizes (16mm) each year. And from the age of five, right up until their mid teens, feet continue to grow at around a whole size (8mm) each year. All Clarks shoes are designed with growing room built in, without compromising on comfort and fit.

Whole and half sizes and up to four different widths

In recent surveys, less than a third of children fit a 'standard' width shoe. At Clarks, we offer up to four widths as well as half sizes, so your child can get the most accurate fit there is.

Quality materials

Healthy feet not only need to breathe, they also need protecting. So we make our soles with leather uppers or other good quality, breathable materials. You'll also find support and cushioning in all the right places.

Sports styles

A child's feet and joints are under pressure during active play and sport, so they need to be supported properly. However, many children's trainers are little more than miniaturised versions of adult styles and not designed to cope with the unique needs of children's feet. At Clarks, all our trainers not only have authentic sports shoe features, they're also specifically designed to match the shape of and meet the demands of your child's feet.

Fun shoes that fit

Because we've been making properly fitting children's shoes for over 100 years, we've learnt how to incorporate added extras without compromising on fit. So whether it's our trainers that light up with each step, or shoes with secret toys in the heel, you'll know that they're made with the same care and attention to fit as the rest of our range.
