Steps:

  1. Place your child’s foot on paper (standing, not sitting).
  2. Mark the heel and the longest toe.
  3. Measure between marks in cm.

👉 This is your child’s foot length (cm).

How the Shoe Should Fit

✔ Keep 0.8–1 cm extra space in front of toes

✔ Toes should move freely

✔ Heel should feel snug (no slipping)

✔ Shoe should bend where the foot bends

Tip: If your child is between sizes, choose the size that matches their cm + the recommended allowance.

Common Sizing Mistakes

❌ Choosing size only by age

❌ Buying bigger “to grow into.”

❌ Measuring while sitting

❌ Measuring only one foot

✅ Always measure both feet and pick the size for the bigger foot.

Fit by Style (Sneakers or Sandals)

Sneakers or Sports Shoes

• Snug but comfortable

• Ideal for daily wear & play

• Follow the cm chart closely 

Sandals or Open Styles

• Slight toe space is okay

• Avoid excessive extra length
