IT'S nearly time to go back to school and that means it's time to restock school supplies.
In case your children have either grown out of, or worn out last year's school shoes, don't worry, because the staff at Shoes & Sox at Westfield Penrith has provided a buyers' guide to their top sellers and new styles for 2013.
Once the shoe is on your child's foot, Shoes & Sox's fitting specialists will do a six point fit check to ensure that the shoe fits properly. They will check that:
■ Shoes are the right length, and there's the correct amount of growing room.
■ Shoes are the best width, with no pressure on the dies of the foot.
■ Shoes have the correct depth for the right fit and comfort.
■ The top of the shoe wraps neatly around the anklebone and will not rub.
■ The shoe grips the child's heel shape well.
■ When walking the child moves easily and naturally in the shoes.
After your child gets their school shoes fitting why not have a walk around the centre to see what else they'll need at the wide range of stores at Westfield Penrith.
