📏 How to Choose the Right Shoe Size for Kids
Measure your child’s feet at the end of the day, when feet are naturally slightly larger. Always leave 5–10 mm of extra space to allow proper movement and growth. If your child is between two sizes, it’s best to size up, especially for sneakers and trainers 👟✨
For slim or narrow shoes, choosing the bigger size is usually safer.
