When shopping for shoes for your child, choosing the correct size can sometimes be confusing. A common problem that many people face is the numbering system used for sizing. Size charts often vary depending on the manufacturer's country of origin.

European and US sizing differ considerably. Fortunately, if you're only familiar with one of the systems, a conversion chart will help. Our conversion chart shows European and US size conversion for all of the children's shoes in our online store.

Do Toddler Shoes Come in Half Sizes?

Measuring Tips

1. Always measure your child's feet before selecting a size rather than basing your choice on age or what you assume your child's size is. Here are several simple ways to measure your child's feet: http://www.wikihow.com/Measure-Baby-Feet

2. Remeasure your child's feet every 3 months to see if a new size is needed.

3. Don't buy shoes that are bigger than your child's current size so they can "grow into" their shoes. Shoes that are too big will cause your child's feet to slide and the shoes to bend in dangerous ways that can lead to trips and falls.
