Mum shares hack to make shoe shopping for your kids SO much easier – but not everyone’s convinced
A SAVVY mum has shared her hack for making kids shoe shopping way easier but people say she might be going about it the wrong way.
The mum says it’s the perfect hack for back to school shopping when you have a toddler with fast growing feet.
Autumn Grace shared her hack in a TikTok video online.
She said: “This is a great mum and dad hack for back to school shopping!”
The mum explained she measures all of her children’s feet before she goes shoe shopping and all she uses is a piece of string.
Autumn even said she wished she knew about the hack when her child was younger.
She said: “Things I wish I knew as a first time mum.”
“Get some string, the length of your child’s foot, then cut it.”
The mum says now she can “Yo avoid having to take children with her when shoe shopping.”
Autumn explained she doesn’t have to take her kids shoe shopping anymore.
Autumn’s video went viral with over 1.9 million views.
Some parents were sharing the creative way they measure their children’s feet when shoe shopping.

One user said: “Bought shoes for my 14yr old today. traced his foot on paper, cut it out and put it in my pocket. put paper in the shoe and checked toe space. PERFECT FIT!”
Another said: “The length from your wrist to your inner elbow(your forearm) is how big your foot is, it works for kids too.”
Other parents were critical of Autumn’s approach.
One user said: “As a train fitter that’s the worst thing you can do to find kids shoes so many reasons never seen anything so silly lol.”
Another said: “But that doesn’t account for the width and height of their feet? some shoes may not fit properly with just the length measured.
