how to determine kids shoe size

Shoes should feel snug at first glance. Buttons on the side should be able to fasten without any help, but still leave the toes with room to move.

Additional laces or Velcro straps can be helpful because kids feet tend to grow quickly.

Kids’ shoe sizes are expressed in two numbers, for example "7-12" or "4 1/2-5 1/2". The first number is the length of the shoe in cm and reflects which age group it is for (7=age 6-8; 12=age 10-12).Kids' shoe size depends on their age and gender. The process of determining kids' shoe size is the same for adults. However, the width in size varies between children's shoes and adult shoes.
