Tips for Choosing the Right Size

1. Measure Both Feet
   • Children’s feet can vary in size. Measure both feet and choose a size that fits the larger foot.
2. Leave Room for Growth
   • Leave about a thumb’s width (half an inch) of space between the end of the longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for growth.
3. Try Shoes with Socks
   • Have your child wear the type of socks they will use with the shoes while measuring and trying them on.
4. Check Fit in Multiple Areas
   • Ensure there’s enough space in the toe box, the heel fits snugly, and the shoe provides proper arch support.
5. Walk Around
   • Have your child walk around in the shoes to ensure they are comfortable and do not pinch or slip.

Common Sizing Issues and Solutions

1. Shoes Too Tight
   • If shoes are too tight, consider a half size larger or opt for styles with adjustable straps or laces.
2. Shoes Too Loose
   • If shoes are too loose, try a half size smaller or use insoles for a better fit.
3. Heel Slipping
   • Heel grips or pads can help reduce slipping and improve fit.
