Why size charts aren't always enough

Every child's foot is different. Two toddlers the same age can wear completely different sizes. A chart gives a starting point — Footscale gives you the exact measurement.

👟

Always buy 0.5 size up for toddlers

Pediatricians recommend ½ inch of growing room. If your toddler's foot is 5 inches, buy US size 7 (fits a 5.2" foot). Footscale accounts for this automatically.
