Selecting the perfect shoes for your toddler is important for their comfort and safety. Ill-fitting shoes, whether too big or too small, can harm your child's feet and cause discomfort. The ideal fit should provide enough space in the toe box for your toddler to wiggle their toes without slipping or feeling cramped. By pressing the tip of your thumb down, you shouldn't hit any toes, ensuring a comfortable fit.

How To Tell If Your Toddler Shoes Are Too Small

If you suspect your toddler's shoes may be too small, look for the following signs:

  • Blisters, cuts, or deep indentations on their feet from tight shoes
  • Toes jammed against the front of the shoe, restricting movement
  • Decreased activity or lethargy, indicating discomfort
  • Complaints of pain in their feet, knees, or back
