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
