Baby & kids shoe size chart
Baby, toddler & kids shoe sizes
Foot length is the most reliable signal. We recommend choosing the next half-size up to leave a thumb's width of room for growth.

Printable foot template
Not sure where your child falls? A three-page PDF with a credit-card calibration check, a life-sized foot silhouette your child stands directly on, and the full conversion chart. No tape measure required — just stand, look, and read the size.
How to use the foot template
Print the PDF without scaling — uncheck "fit to page." Verify with the credit-card box on page 1.
Turn to page 2. Have your child stand or sit with their foot flat on the foot silhouette.
Line up the back of the heel with the bold black HEEL line at the base of the template.
Look at the size label closest to where the longest toe lands. Between two sizes? Always size up.
First-shoe shopping tips
Baby and toddler feet can jump a half size in a single season. A quick check every couple of months keeps you ahead of growth spurts.
Feet swell slightly through the day. Late-afternoon measurements give you a more realistic reading for everyday wear.
Before your baby is walking, choose flexible soft-sole shoes. Stiff soles get in the way of foot development at that age.
For new walkers, leave about 6–12 mm (a thumb's width) between the longest toe and the front of the shoe. Snug at the heel, room at the toe.
One foot is almost always a few millimeters bigger. Size for that one — the smaller foot will adjust easily.
A slightly loose shoe is easy to fix with thicker socks or an insole. A shoe that's too tight has no fix — and can affect how your child's foot develops.

Common questions
Should I size up for kids' shoes?
Yes — we recommend choosing one half-size larger than your child's measured foot length. This leaves about a thumb's width of room at the toe so the shoe stays comfortable through small growth spurts without becoming sloppy.
My toddler is between sizes. Which way should I go?
Always size up. A shoe that's slightly loose can be adjusted with thicker socks or a thin insole; one that's too tight has no fix and may interfere with how your child's foot develops.
How often should I remeasure?
Every 2–3 months for babies and toddlers, and every 3–4 months for kids three and older. Children's feet grow in unpredictable bursts — a routine check keeps you from buying a size too small.
Should my baby wear shoes before walking?
Hard-soled shoes aren't needed until your child is walking confidently. Before then, soft socks, booties, or flexible soft-soled shoes are best — they let small feet move and feel the floor.
My child has wider feet. What should I do?
Look for brands that offer wide-fit options or run generously. European brands like Pluie Pluie tend to fit narrower, while many American brands run wider. If you're unsure, our team is happy to help — email care@easytot.com.
