Managing Director Charles Clinkard said: “Our first shoes model search has previously been a huge success – it gives mums, dads and carers the chance to record the moment for posterity.

“Internet sales are on the rise, for us at Charles Clinkard too, but you can’t beat the real life experience of getting your child’s growing feet measured in store and knowing they will always have properly fitted, comfortable – and stylish – shoes.”

“We’ve been providing children with their first shoes for generations and love to have our own customers as the face and feet of our campaigns.”
