Mum-of-five's 'life-changing' hack to buy kids their back-to-school shoes - without dragging them to shops

A mum-of-five has divulged her secret life-changing hack to buying her children's school shoes without dragging them to the shops.

Terry Wheatley, 33, says her kids - all under the age of 10 - hate going shoe shopping and treat it as a nightmare. She added that taking them to the shops is an incredibly taxing task where she would have to take each individual kid on their own trip across five days, causing her to spend a fortune on petrol.

However, Terry has figured out her own way around this by making stencils of each of her children's feet. Harry, 10, Eloise, eight, Edith, six, Noah, four, and five-month-old Tommy all stood on a piece of cardboard which was then drawn around to get the accurate size and shape of their feet.
