A lifetime of healthy walking starts here
Since 1986, we've been fitting kids' shoes across Australia, ensuring little feet are happy and healthy. Our goal is to support their growth and let them run comfortably all day long. In store fittings are 100% free of charge and available at all Shoes & Sox retailers.
Fitted with Care by the Expert Shoe Crew
Our Expert Shoe Crew undergo an intensive fit training course to ensure your kids’ feet are in the right hands. Under the guidance of an experienced senior Shoe Crew member, they learn key fundamentals through one-on-one practical training and theoretical practice. Not only do we teach how to expertly fit every child's' foot, but will provide tailored shoe suggestions to ensure you get the most from your footwear!
Additional Needs Appointments
Shoes & Sox has partnered with Autism Spectrum Australia (Aspect) to offer private fitting appointments during quieter times, ensuring a calm environment for children who need it. Our staff are trained to meet your child's needs, reflecting Aspect's commitment to safe and meaningful community inclusion. This partnership aligns with our dedication to inclusivity, ensuring every child receives the care they deserve.

Hear From Our Happy Customers!
Incredibly Thorough
"Marissa's service was incredibly thorough. I felt genuinely looked after and she showed a real concern for having my daughter's shoes fit correctly."
Fabulous Special Needs Service
"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!"
Kids Loved It
"Fionna was so great with the kids and made it a bit special for them too. I got the advice I needed on which styles and brands would best suit their feet and it was all very easy."
Frequently Asked Questions
All fittings are now run through pre-booked appointments or a digital queue to allow fairness for all customers. If you choose to head in-store without a pre-booked fitting, you will be prompted to join the digital queue, which will give you an estimate wait time and text message notification of your upcoming fitting. If you are heading in-store for a return, you will still need to join the queue but as a ‘non-fitting’ which means a reduced wait time as you will only be waiting for other ‘non-fitting’ customers to be served.
If you believe you may have entered incorrect details as you haven’t received any confirmation, please re-book. Before you re-schedule your new fitting, make sure to double check your details are now correct so you receive your email with the details you require for your fitting.
Please contact our customer service team here with the details of the booking you want to cancel.
We understand that not everything goes according to plan especially when little ones are involved, so we allow a 10-minute grace period before we will need to cancel your fitting. Demand is high for our fittings and being late means our timing and subsequent service levels are compromised for other customers. If you will be later than 10 minutes after the starting time, your fitting will be cancelled by the store team staff and we encourage you to join the digital queue or book in again.
Please contact our customer service team here with the details of the booking you want to cancel.

Each fitting type will take a different amount of time, depending on the number of children you may have. Please find a breakdown of the approximate times below:1 Child = 20 mins 2 Children = 30 mins 3 Children = 45 mins 4 Children = 1 hour 5+ Children = 1 hour 30 mins First Walker = 30 mins Special Needs Fitting = 1 hour
This is dependent on how many people are waiting and how many fitters are working. Upon entering the store, take note of the number of fitters available and scan the QR code to see where you are positioned in the queue
We will use your details to provide you details about your pre-booked fitting, send a reminder as your fitting approaches and to ask for feedback about your fitting experience. We do not use the details provided for pre-booked fittings or our digital queue for any marketing purposes.
When selecting your fitting type, please choose ‘Additional Needs Fitting’. Our fittings are typically held out of hours to create a calmer environment. All of our Fit Squad members have undergone training through Aspect and are educated in Autism awareness and equipped with tools to foster effective communication. To find out more on what to expect in a additional needs fitting, please head to https://shoesandsox.com.au/pages/additional-needs-appointments.
Please find a team member in-store who will be able to join the queue on your behalf.
We offer ‘non-fitting’ places in the queue in-store for returns. These cannot be pre-booked so simply head in and follow the instructions to join the queue in-store for a ‘non-fitting’ where we will serve you promptly. Please note, that if you require your child to be fitted to double check sizing or to find the right pair, you will need to opt for a different fitting type in-store, as ‘non-fitting’ is only for simple returns/exchanges/quick purchases.
