Home foot gauge
Easy and effective for even the most wriggly little feet. This gauge is calibrated to our shoe sizes and offers super accurate at home measurements.
Paper and pen measuring
If you're not sure what size your child's feet are and don't have a home foot gauge, follow the steps below for simple pen and paper measurements
STEP ONE
Take some paper, a pen and a ruler
STEP TWO
Place the paper flat on the ground against a wall
STEP THREE
Place your child's foot on paper, heel against the wall, and trace the toes. Repeat for the other foot
STEP FOUR
Measure the length from the top of their toes to the end of the paper that was against the wall
STEP FIVE
Make a note of the millimetre measurement of their longest foot and use our size conversion chart below
