I wanna buy - Piedro (Ostrich) children's boots

Does anyone know of any shops (not online/mail order) who stock the Piedro /Ostrich range of boys boots in the Midlands?

I've googled and only come up with mail order companies, but due to odd fitting issues with my two sons, I really need to be able to go and get them fitted properly.

They both wear orthotic insoles and need the additional support these boots offer, but don't qualify for NHS help (and hence fitting).

We used to go to a shop in Rugby, but they have stopped carrying the range.

Help?! :confused:

  • If you have a problem that requires piedro boots the NHS does provide them through orthotics departments, particularly for children if they are needed!

    Thanks, but I think it varies by health trust - the one we're under will only prescribe/provide footwear if the orthotics have to be built in to the shoe, and, for us at least, they only ever prescribe orthotics that are removeable, hence not qualifying.
