Foot Health and Comfort
The UK’s first in-school shoe fitting service goes down a storm
T
here was a definite buzz around the Bollin School, Altrincham, as Twofeet, the UK’s first ever in-school professional shoe fitting company launched its brand
new service. Designed to take the hassle out of buying shoes
for busy parents there was understandably a good uptake. As mums chatted, their children played with their friends, provoking comments like ‘ I’m surprised that it’s taken so long for someone to think of this!’ and ‘this is great I can now take the kids swimming on Saturday instead of slogging round the shops and queuing for hours with tickets!’ The Twofeet team are all professionally trained
shoe fitters and it was obvious that parents were impressed by the amount of information given to them about their children’s feet combined with the excellent range of quality shoes available. Twofeet is all about protecting the health of
children’s feet and raising the awareness of the damage that ill-fitting shoes can do to long term
health. In fact schools can even download free Twofeet worksheets on feet and foot health from the Teachingzone website to use as part of their curriculum. The school’s love the service, as a donation
from each pair of shoes sold is given back to the school in return for hosting the service. So by buying from Twofeet parents are directly supporting their child’s school. ‘It has taken over a year of hard work to get to
this stage, so it is great to see it becoming a reality. Our first franchisees are on board, with backgrounds ranging from shoe shop management to school uniform sales and there is no reason why this success can not be replicated on a national scale. Territories are now being reserved so people interested in providing this service in their local area need to contact us immediately.’ Conor Quealy, Twofeet’s founder commented.
