Check the fit

Our in-store experts will check the fit as part of our expert fitting service, ensuring the perfect size.

But if you need to do it at home, use our quick, easy guide to make sure their shoes are just right- so your child can step into every adventure in total comfort.

Step 1: Length

Check growing room! Ensure 14mm from the longest toe (10mm for sandals/pre-walking styles). Gently press the shoe’s top to feel for comfortable amount of growing room.

Step 2: Width

Feel along each side of the shoe, making sure there’s no pressure or pinching and plenty of space for your child to comfortably wriggle their little toe.

Step 3: Ankle

1. Make sure the shoe fits snugly around the ankle with no gaps. It shouldn’t feel tight, unless there’s soft padding, which allows for a closer fit.

2. With your child seated and feet flat, lift one foot and gently pull down on the heel. The shoe should stay on without slipping.

Step 4: Check shoe walking comfort

Step 4: Walking

Most importantly, make sure their new shoes feel great to move in! As they walk, check for natural steps, a secure heel grip, and minimal gaping at the sides.
