Ever feel like you just bought new shoes, and suddenly they’re already too tight? 😅
You aren’t imagining it! Children’s feet grow in rapid bursts, especially in those first few years 👣
To help you stay ahead of the next growth spurt, here is a quick guide on what to expect and how to ensure your little one is staying comfortable:
🕒 The Growth Timeline
✨ Toddlers: Expect to go up half a size every 2–3 months.
✨ School-Aged Kids: Growth slows slightly to half a size every 4–6 months.
✨ The Finish Line: By age 10, most girls have completed 90% of their foot growth, while boys are at about 80%.
📏 Pro-Tips for Parents
✨ The Thumb Rule: Always ensure there is 1cm–1.5cm (about a thumb's width) of space at the end of the longest toe.
✨ Check Often: Measure fit every 4–6 weeks for toddlers and every 1–3 months for older kids.
✨ Watch for Signs: If you see red marks, blisters, or a child who constantly wants their shoes off, it’s likely time for a size up!
Since every child grows at their own pace, these timelines are averages. When in doubt, a professional fitting is the best way to keep those feet healthy and happy 💜
