My spouse and I have travelled all over the GTA and the Greater Buffalo area in the US trying to find good shoes for our son. It has always been a stressful event.
We think that good shoes are extremely important at a young age. You should treat your feet as best you can when they are developing so that you do not have problems growing up. I think alot of issues with the back and posture start at the feet but that is just my opinion. I am sure some people would back be up on this. So please take care of your feet.
Anyways back on topic. We went out tonight to find my son some shoes as he is starting to get really fussy as to what he puts on his feet. We went to a few stores that we have had some luck in the past and the major department stores with no luck. So i flipped out my blackberry and did an internet search for "toddler shoes burlington ON" . Kinder soles was one of the first three hits on the search engine, so we looked up the phone number and called for directions. Walkers and Highway five in the Longos plaza. Easy enough to get to. We parked and went inside.
The place was clean, spacious, calming, bright, cheery and we were immediately greeted by the staff. The sales lady came over and instead of just wipping out the measuring thingy she actually talked to my son and us and let our son play with some of the toys that were nicely organized and clean. (Now that is a rareity finding clean play areas in stores I don't see that often enough) But this was great, I sat on a chair and let her do her magic. It felt like I was going to the spa instead another nightmare toddler shoe hunt. The whole experience was amazing and I would go back there in a heart beat. I am truly amazed. Good quality shoes my son actually likes. We walked out with a pair of New balance shoes and we were very happy. Sure you pay a little more for good quality shoes, but in the years to come I totally believe it will be worth it.
The sales staff knew what they were talking about and were actually very good with children.
If I were to rate this store out of 5 it would get the full 5. (cleanliness, staff, knowlege, product, overall experience)
