Determine Your Child's Shoe Size

Properly fitting your child's athletic shoes will contribute to the healthy growth of their feet. In addition they will allow your child to participate in a variety sports activities.

To properly measure your child's foot, follow the simple instructions below:

How To Measure Your Child's Foot

• While seated, place his/her foot on a piece of paper
• With a pencil, trace around their foot. Hold the pencil as straight up-and-down as possible while measuring and be sure that your pencil remains in constant contact with their foot during this process.
• To find his/her foot length, measure the distance between the two points on your tracing. Reduce this number by 5 mm, or 1/5-inch.
• The result is your child's foot length and the number you will use to determine their shoe size

Measurement Tips

• Take your child's measurements at the end of the day, when his/her feet are their largest
• Have your child wear the socks they will wear with their new shoes when you take their foot measurement
• Measure both feet and fit shoes to the larger foot
• It is best to measure your child's foot while he/she is standing
• You may take measurements in inches or centimeters. To convert inches to centimeters, multiply inches by 2.54.
