Draw a straight line, longer than the child’s foot, on a piece of paper.
Place the paper on a flat surface. Have the child stand on the line with her / his heel and longest toe centered on the line. For a smaller child, hold the paper up to their foot.
Place a mark on the line at the tip of the toe and the back of the heel.
Measure the distance between the marks and use the conversion chart to find the shoe size. If one foot is larger then the other, fit to the larger foot.
