How to measure your infant's foot

If you want to buy shoes for babies, get familiar with their size chart. You can find these charts on the back of the shoe packaging,

or on a sticker inside the shoe (some companies have started using SNS instead of letters and numbers to describe baby's shoe size). Measure your baby's feet while they're still soft and pliable.

 If they have any calluses or corns, it may be difficult to get an accurate measurement. These numbers will help you find the right shoes for your baby at a store so you don't have to guess or make an impulse purchase online.
