How well do kids’ shoes really fit? This is the question an Austrian research team investigated in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein by conducting 42 public “Measuring Day” events for children. The sobering results: over 50% of the children tested wear shoes that are too short for their feet. The highest percentage of children in poorly-fitting shoes was found in Germany.

On August 1, the consumer service programme “Konkret” on Austrian TV reported on the results of a “test shopping expedition” for children’s shoes (ORF 2, 6:30 -7:00 pm).
The Austrian research team “Children’s Feet – Children’s Shoes” went too, of course – afterwards we tested the shoes purchased and evaluated the quality of the information provided by sales personnel.
