Free Foot Measurements

Wearing ill-fitting shoes can lead to a number of foot problems including heel pain, bunions, hammertoe, and callouses. Get the kids a free foot measurement by our shoe experts.

The Shoe Expert Difference

Most parents head to the local big name shoe retailers for their back to school shoes. However, most big name stores don't train their employees on how to measure feet. Often, parents pick the shoes and ask the employee for the size they think their child is wearing. Many times people don't even measure each time they buy new shoes.

Our team is trained and skilled in measuring feet. We have the tools and training to get your kids the best fitting shoes. We understand that all feet are not the same and each shoe brand may fit different. We're here to help!

Pain is Not Normal

Shoes don't typically require a "break in" period. If they are uncomfortable when you try them on, they're never going to be comfortable. While we suggest wearing shoes around the house before you wear them all day outside, they should feel good from the start. If your child complains they hurt, even after you get home, they probably don't fit correctly.

Check With an Expert

If your child is complaining their feet hurt, even after you get them new shoes, get them to a doctor. If a child's foot pain is left untreated it may turn into a larger problem or become a problem later in life. Our Hillsborough podiatry office treats children with foot pain and children with foot injuries everyday. Don't wait to be seen if your child says their feet are hurting! Call our office and see if you qualify for a free exam- (908) 874-8030 or visit the office 812 Courtyard Drive, Hillsborough, NJ 08844. Visit www.stopfootpainfast.com for more information.
