Where do you get a child's shoe size measurer?

Where can you buy the equipment to measure your child's shoe length and width. Like the one they use in shoes shops like Clarks.

Thanks

    Reading the message under your post I have to ask...why on earth would you need one? When you can go into any shoe shop and get it done for free? Just wondering...

    if i ever had to do that i would draw round the little ones feet on cardboard and cut it out and take it with me, but much better to get feet measured properly

    Take your child into the shoe shop to get their feet measures and let them walk out with the measurer (I am only kidding!)

    I would have then measured at the shoe shop, or do as twink does.

    If you are planning on going into clarks, having your childs feet measured and then buying the shoes elsewhere then I personally wouldn't bother. There is no point.

    The measurement for one, is only a guide and also is only a guide for clarks shoes. Not next, matalan, asda, woolies or market shoes.

    Sometimes you could measure childrens feet at a 12g for example and they could leave the store with a 12.5f, a 12H, a 12F as it all depends on the style and fit of the shoes you need.

    A cut out of the foot wouldn't be much good either - it wouldn't provide details of the correct width/depth of the foot.

    It would be a waste of time :D

    You don't have to buy the shoes after measuring. I always took my daughter to a clarks shop to get measured. My mum (who was often in Kendall) bought her shoes from the measurements at the k village there and they were much cheaper than my local clarks.

    Reason for those asking for it...... I want to do this all in house myself. Measure his feet and fit the shoes myself in any shop I choose. Don't want to go all the way to Clarks to measure when I can do it myself at home. I can also use Ebay to buy the shoes on there. I can also then with the correct measurement call Clarks to see if they have his size on sale and not have to go on a wasted journey to measure and find they have not got his size.

    So where can I get the measurer from.. What do you call it so that I can search for in on google.co.uk.

    You can't buy them.

    Not the ones from Clarks anyway. Clarks make them for their stores.

    I can't imagine anyone else selling them either to be honest.
