New kids shoe store has the right measure at Botany Town Centre

Just in time for the new school year, Botany Town Centre has further expanded its ever-growing retail offer with the opening of Stomp Kids Shoes. The store, entirely dedicated to providing the right measure and fit in children’s footwear, features an extensive range of quality brands for infants to teens.

Botany local and Stomp Kids Shoes founder Daren Leng has more knowledge of shoes than most, having previously been National Retail Operations Manager for adidas New Zealand and run his own sportswear and footwear business in the United Kingdom.

Daren identified a gap in the market, seeing that there were no quality children’s shoe stores in the eastern suburbs that properly measured a child’s foot. “I have two girls and found it very difficult to find good quality shoes for them as they both have narrow feet. Very few places in New Zealand do narrow-fitting shoes.

“At Stomp Kids Shoes we measure all children’s feet to ensure we fit them into the right-sized shoes and get that perfect match. Our staff are specially trained by a podiatrist on the development stages of a child’s foot, knowing what type of shoe to fit at the right age from infant to teen.”

The store’s specialist approach ensures that children are fitted in footwear of the correct size, giving the opportunity for their feet to grow naturally and preventing any problems from ill-fitted shoes later on in life. Kids won’t look past the store’s popular footwear brands, including Clarks, Ecco, McKinlays, Lelli Kelly, OshKosh, Birkenstock, Skechers and New Balance.

Botany Town Centre Senior Centre Manager Jennifer Andrews says her team is thrilled to welcome the new store. “Stomp’s broad range of quality footwear is sure to appeal to any child needing a pair of shoes with the perfect fit. It is a great addition to the centre, complementing some of our already existing retailers and providing a unique retail offer.”

Stomp Kids Shoes is located in Garden Lane, opposite Pumpkin Patch.
