As soon as I heard about the Treads measuring kit I thought it was an absolutely genius idea. It's perfect for someone like me who a) lives over an hour from a large shopping centre, and b) hates spending valuable family time tramping around shops when we could be exploring.

You can either buy a reusable measuring gauge and tape for £4.99, or download and print a free, step by step paper foot measuring guide. Find it here: https://www.treads-shoes.com

Rather than interrupt our summer with a trip to a shoe shop I was able to measure up the girls at home and order their new school shoes online. Here's how easy it was:family time tramping around shops when we could be exploring.

Disclosure: we were given the Treads measuring gauge and the girl's new school shoes in exchange for coverage on my blog. You can read more here: https://tinboxtraveller.co.uk/treads-...

Hi there, I’m Claire – a late-30s mummy to two busy primary schoolers and wife to a Royal Navy Officer.

Tin Box Traveller is a UK family travel blog that I use to share our adventures and inspire others to explore new places. I’ve been a wanderer from the day dot. Some of my earliest memories are from living in Hong Kong while my dad was working there until I started school.

Back in the UK my weekends and holidays as a pre-teen and teen were spent caravanning all over the UK. So it’s no surprise that exploring the great outdoors and new places are two of my biggest passions. Meet the rest of the team: https://tinboxtraveller.co.uk/about-t...
