Junior Thumbstick Children's Walking Stick
The Junior Thumbstick Children's Walking Stick is the perfect present for a child with an interest in hiking or exploring the countryside. Although shorter and lighter, this scaled-down version of a classic adult's thumbstick has all the features that make a high-quality walking stick, and is an ideal addition to insoles to help keep strain off feet and joints.
The Thumbstick
A thumbstick handle is one of the most classic British handles and features the naturally occurring V-shape. With the thumb resting in the middle and the fingers clasped around the stick, this handle provides additional support and balance.
Made for the Young Ones
Slightly shorter and lighter than an ordinary country walking stick, the Junior Thumbstick is designed specifically to meet the needs of the youngest walkers. It is fitted with a non-slip rubber ferrule for additional safety and can easily be shortened according to your child's height.
Coppiced Wood
This Junior Walking Stick is produced using the coppicing method, which means that is it formed from the shoot that grows when the upper part of a young tree* is removed. Occasionally these shoots fork to produce the distinctive thumbstick shape, much sought after in the countryside.
Sizing of the Junior Thumbstick Children's Walking Stick
The length of the Junior Thumbstick is approximately 100cm (39.5") and can easily be shortened if necessary. Due to the natural sourcing and manufacturing process, the length may vary slightly from product to product.

*What type of wood is used to produce this stick depends on current availability, as the natural V-shape is quite rare and hard to find. Most often the wood is either ash or hazel.
As the production process is completely natural, each Junior Thumbstick is unique. This means that the height, design and colour of these sticks may differ greatly.

Our Guide to Finding the Perfect Size and Fit
Using Your Shoe Size
For most of our insoles, the easiest way to find the best size for you is to go off of your current shoe size. The majority of our insoles are available in a range of sizes and you can simply select the size that best fits your existing shoes.
Please be aware that, as with shoes, there can be slight variations in the size of insoles. For example a size 8 of one brand might not be exactly the same size and width as the size 8 of another. To help account for these discrepancies, a number of our insoles include dimensions to help you ensure you're getting the right size.
Measuring Your Current Insoles
While using your shoe size to find your best size is a good guide, it is not always foolproof. If you want to guarantee that your insole fit your shoes as closely as possible, we recommend measuring your existing insole and using this as a guide to your size.
To do this, please follow the steps outlined below:
- Remove the existing insole from the shoes you wish to use your new insoles with (please note that not all insoles are removable)
- Measure the insoles at their longest and widest points (see the below diagram for an idea of where this will be
- Match the measurements to the dimensions of the insoles listed, and choose the size that best fits your results

Where Can I Find the Dimensions?
The dimensions for insoles can be found on the "Product Details" tab (please see below) and are usually found in the sizing section of the listing, in a table. Please be aware that not all products currently have the dimensions listed.
The dimensions of insoles can usually be found on the "Product Details" tab
What If There Are No Dimensions Listed?
If you do not see the dimensions listed on the Product Details tab, please fill in the form below and we will work to get the relevant information as quickly as possible. We will email you once we have the information that you have requested.
Trimming Your Insoles to Fit
To get the ultimate level of fit from your insoles, you can trim them to make a small adjustment. To trim your insoles, simply follow the steps below:
- Remove your existing insoles from your shoes
- Line up your existing and new insoles at the heel
- Trace the outline of the insoles against the new pair at the toe end (see the image below for an example)
- Carefully cut along the traced line
- Your insoles should now fit your shoes better
Carefully trace the outline of your insole
Please note that not all insoles are suitable for trimming. Most insoles are unsuitable for return once they have been trimmed to fit; we recommend bearing this in mind prior to trimming.
