Spotlight on School Shoes

April is National Foot Care Health Month, as designated by the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA).  Oops, I just about missed it. So on this last day of April, I 'll take this opportunity to announce that I'll be featuring posts related to shoes and shoe shopping during the month of May. I'll be adding post to the Retail Round Up Series on Payless and Stride Rite.  I also plan to share reviews of some of our favorite school shoes.   

"A child's foot grows nearly 1 cm each year, according to Leonard R. Janis, D.P.M. Between birth and 4 years of age, a child's foot doubles in length. By the age of 10, most girls have completed 90 percent of foot growth. A boy completes about 80 percent of his foot growth by the time he is 10 years old. The feet have stopped growing for most girls 14 years of age. Foot growth stops for boys when they reach 16 years of age."

Your Homework Assignment:  In the comments below, please share the name of store or brand that is your 'go-to' for school shoes? Not athletic shoes, think everyday school shoes like mary janes and oxfords.  Is it Stride Rite, Payless, Cherokee, French Toast, Lands End,  LL Bean, etc?  This is your one question survey.  Go!
