As always, the shoes we bought from Happy Little Soles were perfect, our son has a very high instep and before we found H.L.S, lots of respected shoe companies told us their shoes were a good fit for him - sending him to school in professionally fitted new shoes and picking him up with bleeding feet was heart breaking! We have now had at least a dozen pairs from H..L.S, ( different styles and different brands ) and they have all been stylish, comfortable and good for him!!! We have never had to return a pair, we stick to their advice and it has worked every time. Also although not as important as happy feet, our 8 year old son loves that lots of school mums comment on his cool shoes.
