Finding the right shoe size for growing feet doesn't need to be difficult!

At Kidstuff, we know that children's feet come in all shapes and sizes, and sizing can vary between footwear brands. We've put together this handy guide to help you choose the best fit when shopping online.

How to Measure Your Child's Feet at Home

You'll need a piece of paper, a pencil, a ruler and a wall.

  1. Place the paper flat on the floor against a wall.

  2. Have your child stand on the paper with their heel gently against the wall.

  3. Mark the position of their longest toe.

  4. Measure from the edge of the paper to the mark, recording the length in millimetres (mm).

  5. Repeat for the other foot and use the longer measurement when checking the size charts below.

Helpful tip: Always refer to the individual brand's size chart. Shoe sizes and built-in growing room can vary between manufacturers, so there's no need to add extra millimetres unless the brand specifically recommends it.

Bobux Shoe Sizing

Bobux offers different footwear ranges to suit children's stages of walking, including Step Up, I-Walk and Kid+.

Use the Bobux size chart to match your child's foot measurement to the recommended shoe size.

Pretty Brave Shoe Sizing

Check the sizing chart for the range you're purchasing, as sizes may vary between styles.

Crywolf Footwear Sizing

Use the sizing chart below to find the recommended shoe size based on your child's foot measurement.

For the most accurate fit, measure both feet and refer to the foot length in millimetres (mm).
