How to Pick the Right Shoe Size Every Time

Measure your kid’s feet from the longest toe to the heel, either directly or by outlining their footprint on paper. Compare the size chart with this heel-to-toe length and choose the size.

Remember that the shoes you choose should have enough wiggle room for complete comfort, must fit snug at the ankle, and have good cushioning for protection. The shoes should not slip or restrict your child’s movement. For grip and protection, pair the shoes with a nice pair of socks.      

Put on your creative hats, you and your child, and melt down the world with extreme cuteness. Check out our entire collection of kids’ footwear—from sneakers to flip-flops, and everything in between. You know the secrets now. Go get started!
