When Brantano approached me to see if I would like to review some new school shoes I jumped at the chance immediately and quickly chose a lovely new pair of Hush Puppies for Rosie.
Hush Puppies Louise School Shoes
£40.00
I am not ashamed to tell you school shoes drive me nuts. With three little girls we go through them at an alarming rate, they cost a fortune but generally don’t seem to last (even the well known and respected makes). I was keen to see if Hush Puppies would be any different.
When the shoes arrived I was immediately impressed. Of course shiny new black patent shoes always look gorgeous but these looked like they had a much sturdier sole than our last few pairs:
Rosie of course loved the fact that as with another well known brand that is regularly advertised on the TV, these came with glitzy optional bling straps for parties. Not really my cup of tea but she was dazzled. So easy to fit on and off they are a nice touch for growing girls:
Another thing that struck me as impressive was the Unique Fitting System. Personally I have never seen anything like this so was very interested and couldn’t wait to get started measuring my daughters feet and matching the correct insoles for each foot:
Hush Puppies understand that all children are individuals and so are their feet. 1 in 3 children require a different fitting for each foot and that’s why we ‘Fit Left Fit Right’!
Hush Puppies have developed a unique fitting system that measures each foot separately and with the use of ‘foot beds’ we are able to offer 5 fittings in each pair of shoes for each foot.
Only Hush Puppies have a unique set of precisely calibrated foot beds for each shoe, which are tailored to fit the individual foot.
All our shoes have up to 3 months growing room built in, therefore we always recommend that your child’s feet are re-measured at least every 3 months.
Due to illness Rosie hasn’t been at school much since these arrived so has probably been wearing them for only a few weeks. Obviously I can’t comment on how long they last at the moment but first impressions are that they fit well, are very comfortable and look fab. As I mentioned before the sole on girls shoes tend to be much flimsier than those of boys but these really do look good.I am hopeful they will last:
Brentano stocks shoes for the whole family in a variety of well known brands and styles. As far as school shoes go they have all the different makes under one roof including Clarks and Start-rite. Where do you buy yours from?
