Sizing
SIZE MATTERS. FIT MATTERS MORE.
And unlike clothes, shoes should FIT EXACTLY RIGHT. Not tight, not loose.
Experts say, wearing ILL FITTING, POORLY DESIGNED shoes over long durations can negatively impact muscle and posture development in kids.
This can result in long term deformities and pain issues when they grow up.
NOT TOO TIGHT
Wearing narrow, pointy, or tight shoes over long durations can result in toes turning inward. Such permanent deformities can harm balance and posture development in kids.

Wearing narrow, pointy, or tight shoes over long durations can result in toes turning inward. Such permanent deformities can harm balance and posture development in kids.
NOT TOO LOOSE
When shoes are loose, kids’ have to use their toes and foot muscles to grip the shoes and prevent them from coming off. This extra strain on their muscles interferes with proper movement and growth.

NATURAL SHAPE OF FOOT
The bottom profile of kids’ shoes should mimic the natural shape of a child’s foot. Select shoes with a wide toe box to give their toes room to wiggle, and a broad profile to give their feet the space to grow.

ADJUSTABLE FIT
Kids need quick and adjustable closures that hold their feet securely, without putting a strain on their muscles. Running out in slippers, ballerinas or clogs is a complete no-no because they do not have adjustable fastening!

Are you confused about what size of shoe to order? Do you know what size your child currently wears? Have you noticed that this sizing number varies across the different shoes and brands that s/he owns?
The trouble is that sizing can vary across brands and across styles too. Hence, it is INCORRECT to select shoes from the sizing table basis the size mentioned on their current shoe.
To get the RIGHT Skoodo size, you can use one of the two ways to measure your child's foot. We recommend you use the Skoodo Size Guide.
You can download / take a print of the Skoodo Size Guide and follow the step by step instructions on it. However please do check the scale of the print before using!
Measure using Skoodo Size Guide
STEPS TO MEASURE
1. Take two Graph Sheets to MEASURE BOTH FEET, one by one.
2. STAND STRAIGHT and place the LEFT HEEL ALONG any of the straight lines on one sheet. Keep both feet next to each other and spread slightly apart.
3. Draw the foot’s outline keeping PENCIL TIP STRAIGHT throughout.
4. Count the number of squares from HEEL TO THE TIP of the LONGEST TOE.
The big squares are your measure in cms and the small squares in mms. Multiply the total cm squares by 10 and add it to the number of mm squares to get the exact measurement in mms. E.g. (20 big squares x 10) + (5 small squares) = 200+5 = 205 mms
5. Repeat steps for the RIGHT FOOT. Use the SIZE CHART below to order basis the measure of the LARGER FOOT.
TIPS FOR A GOOD MEASURE
- Measure and buy as per SIZE NOT AGE
- Measure both feet and buy as per LARGER foot
- Measure in the STANDING position with TOES FULLY SPREAD, else you will under-measure
- Measure in the afternoon or later, as feet swell over the day
