FAQ
Should kids shoe size be based on age?
Age is only a rough estimate. Foot length is the most reliable way to choose kids shoes.
How much room should kids have in shoes?
Many kids need about 0.8-1.2 cm of extra room for growth and toe movement, depending on shoe type.
What does C or Y mean in kids shoes?
C usually means child sizes and Y means youth sizes. Keeping the suffix prevents confusing repeated numbers.
