So, on Friday morning I took Eowyn to Clarks for a fitting, when she was measured at the end of July she was a size 5, so imagine my surprise when she was now a 6.5! A whole 1.5 sizes in two months!
We have numerous pairs of wellies in the house, so these were discarded. The first pair she tried on were a bright pink pair of shoes, that were incredibly soft and very light. They fitted Eowyn perfectly and she proceeded to prance in front of the mirror, showing approving looks.
Next out of the box was a pair of lovely Purple Ankle boots, we tried this on, as Eowyn adores Purple, although I am not a big purple fan, these were in fact quite subtle and were not the colour of the shoes on the poster in the shop!
On closer inspection we decided that although Eowyn had measured a size F fitting, her little toe felt cramped, so the assistant returned with a size G and these were a perfect fit, they also did them in a fuschia pink, but Eowyn was adamant it was to be purple ones.
I wasn't too sure which shoes to get Eowyn, as she technically now had no shoes that fitted her, so the very helpful assistant went upstairs to the store room and brought down a selection of shoes, boots and even some wellies in the correct size.We have numerous pairs of wellies in the house, so these were discarded.

As you can see from the photo below Eowyn really did have a hard choice deciding on which footwear to choose, there were so many lovely styles and colours that it made deciding very difficult.
All the weather reports are pointing towards a harsh winter, so I decided that we probably should get some winter boots, to be prepared.
We both fell in love with the brown Zannia boot with Gore Tex, which means they are both waterproof and breathable. Eowyn tried them on and took a lot of persuasion to take them off, and kept asking me when it was going to Snow!
They felt lovely and are definitely a good investment, with the added bonus that Eowyn was able to take them on and off herself.
The range of shoes and Boots that were available was amazing, especially as the Clarks we visited is only a small shop, the staff were helpful and attentive, if there was a shoe we liked the look of, but it wasn't in store they were happy to order it in.
The shoe fitting service was excellent and I felt confident that Eowyn would have the correctly fitted shoes, my only problem was deciding which shoes or boots to choose.
