An expert on feet and shoe fitting for over four decades, Bob Hardy will treat the audience to a how-to demonstration on shoe fitting. He explains that with summer ending and kids getting ready to go back to school, it’s the ideal periodto hold this session and educate parents through a step by step approach on the importance and health benefits of proper shoe fitting. The session allows parents to take back home the knowledge requiredto make informed decisions and guarantee the best fit for every step of their child’s walking development.
Future Kids' Director, Samantha Malkoun commented: “The Future Kids Centre in Dubai offers parents and carers an opportunity to accelerate their children’s academic abilities and join them on their learning journey. The Future Kids brand strives to improve communication, services and quality in this region. We collaborate with like-minded brands who want to see the best opportunities and care for children in Dubai.” Bob Hardy commented: “It is our responsibility as a leading shoe brand to raise awareness and educate parents about the importance of shoe fitting to their children’s wellbeing. We’ve been in the shoe industry for over 170 years developing and manufacturing shoes for all age groups. Extensive research and studies we’ve carried revealed that shoes that don’t fit properly can prevent natural growth, cause discomfort and lead to long-term damage to joints and posture. Therefore, with our partnership with Future Kids, we aim at sharing this knowledge and experience with the wider community.” Earlier this year, Clarks introduced the iPad Foot Gauge in their UAE stores in order to enhance consumer experience, making shoe fitting even more exciting for both parents and children with the use of innovative technology. The iPad Foot Gauge design features animated Clarks’ brand characters, Jack Nano and Daisy, who entertain children whilst guiding them through each simple step. The iPad Foot Gauges are available across Dubai in Clarks stores operating under Jashanmal Group at Mall of the Emirates, The Dubai Mall, Mirdiff City Centre and Deira City Centre. Jaspreet Singh, General Manager, Footwear division at Jashanmal said: “Clarks has been operating under the Jashanmal Group for years in the region and caters to a wide audience of men, women and children. Our salespeople have observed and interacted with thousands of customers in-store and understand their need to find the right fitting shoes. Therefore, Clarks shoe fitting experts visits the UAE every year to update salespeople, customers and parents on the latest techniques developed to make shoe fitting an easy, beneficial, interactive and hassle free experience.” Parents and children interested in learning more about the importance of shoe fitting to their child’s health are invited to attend this free session, designed to engage, entertain and educate the community. Bob Hardy will offer one-on-one fitting exercise with the new Ipad Foot Gauge and provide tips and advice on shoe fitting.
