Additional Needs Appointments
How can we help?
Shoes & Sox has partnered with Autism Spectrum Australia (Aspect) to offer private fitting appointments before or after hours or during quieter times for children who would benefit from a quiet, calm environment when purchasing shoes. Through our partnership with Aspect, we ensure that our staff are educated and trained to cater to the needs of your child.Aspect believes that all Australians, including those on the autism spectrum, should have the opportunity to access and be included in the community in a safe and meaningful way. Their purpose is to understand, engage and celebrate the strengths, interests and aspirations of people on the spectrum. With inclusivity always at the forefront at Shoes & Sox, partnering with Aspect was the next logical step in our journey in ensuring that every child and their feet are cared for.

What can you expect?
"We headed out to our local Shoes & Sox store to pick up some school shoes for Chase and some sports shoes for his outdoor play for when he starts at Kinder in just a couple weeks."
@compassandaperture recently detailed her and her son Chase's private fitting experience at Shoes & Sox Northland.
"They were so fabulous with Chase! He can be quite a handful with his Autism so when I saw them offering private fittings for kids with ASD I jumped at the chance!"
"Not only were they amazing with Chase but they were thorough with his fitting and extremely helpful with making the best decision on which shoes would be the correct choice for us."
Are you getting school ready? I highly recommend you head to Shoes & Sox to get an expert fit for your littles."
