Measure at Home

Guide Image 1

Place a sheet of paper on a hard floor and ask your little one to stand on it in socks with feet slightly apart.

Carefully draw around the edge of the foot.

Measure the distance in millimeters from the back of the heel to the tip of the longest toe.

Always use the measurement of the longest toe - it's normal for feet to be slightly different in length.

Make a note of the measurements and add 10mm to allow for growth.

Repeat with the other foot.

Enter your measurement

If you found a small difference between feet, enter the largest measurement.
