- Put a blank sheet on the floor.
- Ask the child to stand on the sheet in socks.
- Outline the foot and connect two extreme points.
- Measure the gap between the two extreme points with a ruler.
- Verify the resulting numbers with the data presented in the “Size chart” table
Be sure to pay attention to the following nuances:
- The size chart tables for girls may differ from those for boys.
- To make the shoes fit a child not only in length, but also in height and instep the same model is often produced in 3 width options. Therefore, when converting the size it is necessary to pay attention to the full chart with alphabetical symbols of the width parameters. “A” means that the model is designed for children with a narrow foot; “B” means flexible and classic width, while “C” and “E” are suitable for a child with a wide foot.
- In addition to numbers the junior shoe sizes in the USA have a letter abbreviation. The inscription “Infant” in the size chart means that “shoes” are intended for children up to 1 year old, “Toddler” is designed for children from 1.5 to 5 years, and “Youth” is suitable for children aged from 6 to 14 years.
Remember that the junior size chart in the USA starts from 0.5 and in Russia from 16. Even if you bought shoes for a child just a month ago and they fitted perfectly, do not be lazy and measure the foot again. Children grow incredibly fast!
When buying shoes in multi-brand stores 6pm.com, Amazon.com, shoes.com, SaksFifthAvenue.com, Zappos.com, and others, never rely on their size charts! Manufacturers often back out of the standard American size charts. For example, choosing Converse follow ONLY the brand own size charts posted on the official Web site of Converse.com. This will increase your chance to get the right size.
