Parents warned that ill-fitting shoes can damage children

Apparently, parents should be making sure their chidren's shoes fit properly, and have their feet measured regularly - as children are, allegedly, *growing*.

A lot of shoe shops don't measure feet properly. I know we were marched down to Clarks every time as they did the full width measuring as well.
