How to measure your child's feet

Little feet grow fast, usually faster than you'd think. A quick measurement makes sure their toes get all the room they need to move freely.

  1. 1. Place a sheet of paper on the floor

    Place the paper on a hard, flat floor with one edge against the wall.

  2. 2. Stand the foot on the paper and mark the longest toe

    Have your child stand up straight with their heel against the wall and toes relaxed. Hold a pencil upright and mark where the longest toe ends. Repeat for the other foot.

  3. 3. Measure the foot length

    Using a ruler, measure from the edge of the paper at the heel to the mark. Write down the length of both feet in inches.

  4. 4. Use the largest measurement

    Take the longer of the two foot lengths and compare it to the size chart for your favorite Tiny Feet style.
