Lelli Kelly Heeled Party Shoes- Should Girls Be Wearing Them?

Every little girl will be excited about the arrival of girls Lelli Kelly party shoes for summer 2010. With their silver sparkle, inter-changeable straps, small heel & free makeup gift, they are your little Princess's dream shoes!
But responsible parents quite rightly ask us "should young girls wear heels?"
The answer is "not all day".
Matthew Dairman, of Suffolk, V.A., USA, spokesman for the American College of Foot & Ankle Surgeons, urges parents to:

- limit wear to once or twice a week;
- limit wear to four hours at a stretch;
- to discourage kids from running whilst wearing them.
We pride ourselves on the trained fitting staff in our stores & are always happy to give advice in person, by telephone or by email on any queries customers have.

Children's Shoes For Kosovo Update

Keep up the good work! is the message to all North Shoes & Footprints customers as we ship off another parcel of shoes for the appeal. Since the first blog post the number of pairs donated to the two shops has risen to near the three hundred mark. Many more still urgently needed!

Children's Shoes for Kosovo

Children from one of the poorest regions in Europe, Kosovo, are benefiting from the kind donations of North Shoes and Footprints customers.

When you bring your children into our stores at half term to have their school shoes & trainers expertly fitted, please also bring their outgrown shoes to donate to the Childrens shoes for Kosovo Appeal.
We fit a large range of childrens brands including Clarks, StartRite, Ricosta, Geox, Hush Puppies & Petasil, so you will find something for your child & you can help a child in Kosovo at a time when the weather there is too cold to go to school without a pair of shoes.

Over 3,000 pairs have already been donated, but many more are urgently needed.

We will keep you posted here on the blog about how many shoes are donated - please feel free to get in touch about the appeal if you have any questions, and those of you coming to bring in shoes can find a map & get directions to the shop here

Do Fitflops Work?


It's the question we're often asked: Do Fitflops work?

Yes, we believe so. All the sales advisors in our shop wore Fitflops continuously over the summer. They were surprised and delighted when all the long winter boots arrived and they could do up every pair.

All the staff try on our stock to see how it fits and to better advise the customer and this was the first year they could fit in to so many winter boots.

So when people ask us "Do Fitflops work?", our only conclusion is that it must be the Fitflops working as no other factors had changed. I feel the Fitflop might have another successful year at North Shoes!
