How do you know if your child has narrow feet?

When having your child' s feet measured, you will be notified of the correct size and width. However, if they haven’t been measured for a while, common signs that your child requires a narrow fit school shoe are:

• School shoes loose/slipping off - A sign of narrow feet is if regular fitting shoes are too wide for your child.

 

• Slipping heel - If the heel slides up and down in the shoes, there’s a good chance your child’s feet are narrow.
  
  

• Excess space - If the shoes fit correctly length-wise, but not in terms of width, feet might be too narrow for regular fitting shoes.
  
  

• Toes appear close together - If, upon inspection, the toes appear very close together, this can also be an indicator of narrow feet.

• If your child complains about any of these indicators, or you notice any yourself, we’d recommend taking them to have their feet measured professionally.

 

Choosing the right width size for kids school shoes

To choose the right width size for your girls’ school shoes, you should first have the feet measured, either professionally or using our Lelli Kelly measuring guide.

From there, you should know whether your child has feet classified as E, F, or G fitting. In some cases, extra wide feet are classified as ‘H’ fitting. Choosing the right width is usually as simple as picking the letter at which your child has been measured. However, it’s important to communicate with your child and ask them what makes them most comfortable, it is possible that they may actually prefer to be in a specific style or type of school shoe. 

What are narrow fit school shoes?

Narrow fit school shoes are those which are specifically designed to be comfortable and correctly fitting for children with narrower feet. Often, such children have to settle for F fitting shoes, which can be slightly uncomfortable, and can even reduce balance and confidence.

Narrow fit school shoes don’t miss out on the gorgeous and cute design which is typical of Lelli Kelly footwear, so rest assured that your child will love their stylish, new, narrow fitting shoes!

Can you get school shoes specifically for narrow feet?

Yes, you can get school shoes designed specifically for more narrow feet, and we’ve made sure to offer a range of cute and high-quality options.

School shoes for narrower feet are just slightly thinner, but they’re still made to contour to the foot shape of your child to maximise comfort and durability at the same time.
