Frequently asked questions
How much room should kids' shoes have?
About a thumb's width (1–1.5 cm) beyond the longest toe, so feet can grow without the shoe being too loose.
How often do kids' feet grow?
Toddlers often go up a size every 2–3 months; older children every 4–6 months. Check fit regularly.
What does 'Y' mean in US sizes?
Youth sizes. After toddler size 13 the scale restarts at 1Y (big kids) and runs to about 7Y.
