Shopping for children can be difficult, especially when they refuse to try on clothes and shoes. But a shrewd mother found a solution.
According to the Daily Mail, an Australian mother tried to help her child buy shoes from Kmart, but did not bring her son with her. She just carried the insole with her. "Today I went to Kmart, to buy winter clothes for my children," the mother wrote. "however, they were in great pain to buy shoes, so I brought their feet here."
The photos included are two different size insoles, each of which has a size that she can carry around to find out which shoes are right for them.
This trick has received a warm response, with hundreds of comments and more than 5,000 likes. Many people praised her idea because it was something they had never thought of. One netizen commented on the post: "I wish I could have known the trick sooner. That's great!"
"all the moms have made me smarter," wrote another netizen. Most commentators say they will do the same from now on. Someone said, "my mother used to do the same when she was a child. She used rope as long as my feet to buy shoes." That's a good idea. "
