Kid's Shoe Size Chart and Conversion

How to measure a child's foot?

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.

  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.

  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.

Kids' Standard Width Equivalents

The standard width equivalents for children's shoe sizes vary depending on the brand and style of shoe. In general, however, children's shoes can be divided into three width categories: narrow, medium, and wide.

Narrow width is typically indicated by the letter "N" or the word "slim." Medium width is indicated by the letter "M" or the word "regular." Wide width is indicated by the letter "W" or the word "wide."

It is important to note that different brands may have slightly different measurements for each width category, so it may be necessary to try on a few different styles and brands to find the best fit. It's always recommended to measure the child's foot and compare with the brand's size chart for more accurate fit.

Shoe kids Fit Tips

Here are some tips to help ensure a good fit when buying shoes for kids:

• Measure their feet: Have your child's feet measured by a professional or use a foot measuring tool at home to ensure an accurate fit. Children's feet grow quickly, so it's important to measure their feet every time you buy new shoes.
• Allow for growth: When buying shoes, always make sure to leave some room for growth. The thumb test is a good rule of thumb: there should be about a thumb's width of space between the end of the longest toe and the end of the shoe.
• Check the width: Make sure the shoe is wide enough for the child's foot. If the shoe is too narrow, it can cause discomfort and blisters.
• Test for flexibility: Flex the shoe to make sure it's flexible and comfortable. A good shoe should bend in the same place as the child's foot.
• Walk around: Have your child walk around in the shoes to ensure a comfortable fit and proper support.
• Check the heel: Make sure the heel of the shoe fits snugly and doesn't slip off the foot.
• Consider the activity: Keep in mind the activity the child will be doing while wearing the shoes. Proper shoes should be worn for sports and other activities to prevent injuries.
• Don't buy too big: Even though you want to leave room for growth, don't buy shoes that are too big. Children can trip and fall in shoes that are too big.
• Check inside of the shoe: The inside of the shoe should be smooth and free of any rough edges that could cause irritation.
• Try on both shoes: Always try on both shoes and walk around in them to ensure a good fit on both feet. Some children have one foot that is larger than the other.
