3. Add about half an inch (1.3 cm) for growth and wiggle room.
4. Match that length to the charts below. Measure in the afternoon, when feet are slightly larger, and re-check every few months.

Sizing tips#

A few habits make kids’ shoe sizing more reliable:

1. Measure in the afternoon: Feet tend to swell slightly during the day, so measure in the afternoon for the best fit.
2. Allow for growth: Add about a half-inch to your child’s measurement to allow for growth and wiggle room.
3. Check shoe widths: Choose the right width for your child’s feet, as Stride Rite offers standard and wide options.
4. Use conversion tools: For children who outgrow kids’ sizes, try using a Brand to Brand Shoe Size Recommender, Shoe Width Size Chart, or International Shoe Size Conversion Chart to find their next best fit.
