How to Measure Your Baby's Feet Size

Follow these 6 simple steps to measure your baby’s feet size:

• Step 1: Fold an A4 piece of paper approx 6cm from the edge.
• Step 2: Place the paper into a container or box with the folded edge firmly in the corner.
• Step 3: Let your baby position their foot inside the box with their heel firmly against the box wall.
• Step 4: Trace around your baby’s toes with a pencil.
• Step 5: Unfold the A4 paper and measure from the fold line to the big toes. This will be your baby’s foot length.

Step 6: Use our size chart below to choose the best shoe size for your baby.

Size	Foot length (in)	Age
1	3.3	0-3 months
2	3.6	3-6 months

Note:

• You should be able to squeeze your finger in between the back of the shoe and your baby’s heel.
• Select the larger size if your baby’s foot size is in-between the sizes.
• Babies won’t be able to tell us if something is bothering them. So as with any shoes, check for signs of irritation after a days’ wear.
• Children’s feet grow quickly so you should measure your baby’s foot size once every few months to ensure their shoe size.
