Sizing for growing feet

Measure both feet standing up, at the end of the day, and add growing room. Many brands suggest around 9 to 15 mm on top of the foot length. Every brand sizes differently, so use their own size chart rather than the number on your child's last pair.

What to look for

A wide toe area, a sole that bends easily and a fastening that holds the heel. For school, look for a tough toe and a sole that copes with the playground.

Velcro or elastic laces for little ones who dress themselves.
Leather or tough textile for school.
Lined wellies and boots for cold, wet days.
