			FIT


Just like adults, some shoes fit well for some children and others don’t

Length
It is not easy to measure the length of the foot accurately.
The easiest way is to place a tape measure on a hard surface or floor & have the child stand
on it, making sure that the toes are not curled. Having the child stand against a wall helps.
Check length from heal to longest toe. Measure both feet as some children can have different
sized feet …. This is normal….

Width
OshKosh shoes are on the wider side, therefore, it is possible that if your child has narrow
feet, the full amount of grow room may not be possible. This will decrease the amount of time
the shoe will fit.


How can we tell if the fit is correct?
Try the shoes on – inside – as shoes cannot be returned if they have been worn outside
Shoes/ trainers
Length – have the child wiggle their feet to the end of the shoe, check to see if there is a thumb room
of grow room…. Yes this is the rule of thumb…. And it’s the width of an adults thumb
Width - put the shoes on as usual, fasten and have the child walk away from you.. Make sure that the
shoes are not slipping on the back of the foot. Check inside to make sure the foot is not hard up
against the sides of the shoe ( squashing the foot)
Older children should be able to tell you if they are comfortable

Sandals
These are easier… just make sure there is approximately a thumb width between the longest toe & the
end of the sandal
