Mum shares 'clever' hack to buy kids school shoes - without taking them to shops
03.09.2022 - 18:35 / dailyrecord.co.uk
One mum has revealed a 'life-changing' way to buy her children's shoes for school that doesn't involve dragging them from store to store.
Terry Wheatley, 33, says her kids despise going shoe shopping - and she doesn't enjoy it much either, as her children are all under five and she needs to take them all out individually.
Not only is this time-consuming, but it uses up a lot of petrol - something she was keen to stop, due to the ever-rising cost of fuel.
However, Terry has discovered a way around this by making stencils of each of her children's feet, Manchester Evening News reports.
Harry, 10, Eloise, eight, Edith, six, Noah, four, and five-month-old Tommy all stood on a piece of cardboard which was then drawn around to get the accurate size and shape of their feet.
Then, taking all the cut-outs to Tesco, she measured them against different pairs of shoes, picking out the ones that looked to be the best fit.
Terry, from Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire, said: "Shoe shopping is one of the most stressful activities with five kids, so I thought I’d make my life easier."
"I know what style of shoes they all like so it was quite easy once I went into the shop. They have worn the shoes around the house and all of them fit like a glove.
"I made sure to make the stencils out of cardboard not paper so I could put each of them in the shoes to check the fit."
She shared her discovery on TikTok, and soon the comments came flooding in praising her for her bright idea. It turned out many other parents were facing that same difficulty.
Terry also developed other useful life hacks with her husband, Matthew Wheatley, 36.
Some of their other family tips include batch cooking meals and freezing individual portions to make dinner time much
