Once parents have chosen the style of shoes they want for their infant they need to make sure they get accurate foot measurements, and baby trainers size is particularly important.

The best way to find out the correct baby trainers size for your child is to go to a good shoe shop, or the shoe department of a well-known store. The assistants will measure your child and tell you the baby trainers size you should be buying. As infant feet grow rapidly you will need to keep taking your child to be measured to ensure you have the correct baby trainers size, and double-check by squeezing the end of the trainers regularly to make sure the toes haven’t reached the end.
Shoes that are too tight will restrict free movement and growth so it’s best not to pick up infant shoes that look appealing in a sale without checking the accurate baby trainers size first. The way that assistants measure baby trainers size is by using a different chart to the one used for older children and adults.
You will find that up to the age of two years the baby trainers size will range from 0 to size 5 in the UK, while in the US the range is from 01 to 04, then 5 and 6. Add one digit to the UK size to get the correct baby trainers size in US measurements. From the ages of two to three years the usual UK baby trainers size is 6. European sizing is different and you may find it on some shoes sold in the UK and US. For a size zero in the UK the European baby trainers size will be 16, and sizes 4 and 5 in the UK will be 20 and 22. If you are buying shoes in various parts of Europe it would be best to get an accurate baby trainers size measurement in the shop.
Expect your baby trainers size to go up every three months for the first six months, and then on average once every six months until the child reaches the age of two. From the age of two the baby trainers size should take a year to go up, but every child is different so this is only a rough estimate. Encourage infants to let you know as soon as they can when their shoes start to feel tight so that you always have the correct baby trainers size.
