About Start-Rite Shoes
A long record in children's feet
Start-Rite has been making shoes since 1792. In 1943 it ran the first survey of children's feet across the country. The findings shaped how its shoes are made. It has held a Royal Warrant since 1955.
Shoes for each stage
Pre-walkers and the First Steps range are built to flex and protect new walkers' feet. School shoes are made to last through the school year. There are also sandals, boots, casual styles and vegan options. Each design goes through durability testing, and width fittings plus half sizes help get the fit right for growing feet.
Getting the size right
A mobile measuring tool on the site lets you check your child's feet at home, with fitting advice alongside. Start-Rite sells online only, with delivery across the UK but not abroad, and no click and collect. Delivery costs and the returns process are set out on the website. Read both before ordering, especially if you are unsure of a size. Visa, Mastercard and PayPal are accepted.
