School Shoe Fitting Guidelines

Children's feet grow quickly - they may need new shoes every 3-4 months depending on age and activity level.

Check for Proper Fit:

  • Allow approximately half an inch (1.3 cm) of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe
  • Ensure the width is comfortable with no pinching or bulging
  • The heel should fit snugly without slipping
  • Shoes should be comfortable immediately - no "breaking in" period needed

When to Replace:

  • When there's less than half an inch of growing room
  • If the shoe shows signs of wear or damage
  • If your child complains of discomfort or pain
  • Check regularly for redness or blisters on your child's feet

Measuring Tips:

  • Measure both feet while standing
  • Measure at the end of the day when feet are at their largest
  • Have your child wear the type of socks they'll wear with the shoes
  • Use the measuring gauge on page 2 only if you can't get the shoes fitted professionally
  • Shoes from different brands may have different sizing, so it's important to try them on
