Use our Kids Shoe Size Chart to help you find the right shoes for your little ones.

Kids shoes are made all around the world these days and often don't come with New Zealand shoe sizing written in them, making it difficult to choose the right pair of shoes.

To find out the correct size shoe for your child, you need to know their feet measurements first. If possible, take them to a shoe shop and get them measured by a qualified shoe fitter. Otherwise the fastest and most efficient way to measure their feet is by getting them to stand on a piece of paper and drawing lines at the front and the back of their foot, and then measuring the distance between the lines. 

If your child isn’t standing yet, apply pressure to the foot when drawing the lines, as the foot spreads quite a lot with weight on it. Make sure to measure both feet as they’re likely to be different lengths.

Now you know what size feet your child has, you can look for the right size shoes.  Just remember that the inner length measurement is the ONLY measurement that counts.

To find the inner length measurement, take a tape measure with you and physically measure inside the shoe - or if it has a removable sole, you can pull that out and measure it to see if it's in-line with your child's feet measurements.

Remember that the inner length measurement you’re looking for should be at least 5mm longer than your baby’s longest foot length.
