How to take measurements?

In the following pictures and guides, we will present two ways of correctly measuring the length of the foot of both a baby and an older child.

  • 1. kid foot measure

    Taking measurement of a toddler foot is simple. If our child is asleep, remove the socks so that the measurement is done for a bare foot. Then take a measurement in centimeters or inches with a ruler, grabbing the tip of the largest toe and checking the distance to the heel. Remember that your baby is growing very fast - it is worth adding 0.5 - 0.7 cm to the measurements for the shoes to be as comfortable as possible.

  • 2. foot measurement 2

    In the case of older children, the length of the foot can be measured quickly. The child should stand with its bare foot on a clean sheet of paper put on a flat surface. Mark the tip of the toes and the end of the heel. The child can take its foot off the paper. Take a measurement by drawing a line connecting the two points. You should also add from 0.5 to 0.7 cm to the final result for the shoes to be comfy.

What should you remember about?

Remember that children's feet are growing fast. The size of the footwear you choose for them may turn out to be too small in a few months. According to manufacturers' suggestions, you should add 3% of the child's foot to the measurements. For example,. if the child's foot is 15 cm long, you should calculate the total length as follows: 15 cm + (15 * 0.03) = 15.45 cm.
