Baby shoe sizes can be confusing! Luckily you have arrived at Kit & Kate's Australian sizing guide for baby and toddler shoes for walkers, sandals and boots.

We hope that you find it useful as we have tried to make it as easy as possible to use to help answer questions such as:
How do I figure out my baby's shoe size?

Sizing Guide for Baby and Toddler Shoes (AU/US/EU/UK)
Choosing the right size shoe for your little one as they are learning to walk need not be a difficult task, and a good baby shoe size guide can help. To keep it simple and consistent, our beautiful baby, toddler and children's shoes follow Australian sizing. However, to make it easier for everyone, we've included a handy sizing conversion table / chart so that you can easily convert and compare between European, American, UK and Australian sizes.
All you need to do is measure your child's foot from heel to the tip of their big toe and add about 1cm for growing. Handy hint: We sometimes find it easier to put their feet on a piece of blank paper, trace around it and then measure after.
Then order your required size based off the cm measurement (don't forget to add that extra cm). If your baby is between sizes or you aren't completely sure, select the larger size. They do grow quite quickly!
Baby & Toddler Shoe Sizing / Conversion Table (AU/US/UK/C)
| SIZE (AU / UK) | Sole Length (cm) | Age Guide (Approx) | EU Size | US Size |
| 3 | 11.8 cm | 6-12 month old | 19 | 4 |
| 4 | 12.6 cm | 12-18 month old | 20 | 5 |
| 5 | 13.4 cm | 18-24 month old | 21/22 | 6 |
| 6 | 14.2 cm | 2 year old | 23 | 7 |
| 7 | 14.6 cm | 2.5 year old | 24 | 8 |
| 8 | 15.6 cm | 3 year old | 25/25.5 | 9 |
| 9 | 16.5 cm | 3.5 year old | 26.5/27 | 10 |
| 10 | 17.1 cm | 4 year old | 28 | 11 |
The table above should be used as a guide only for baby shoe sizes as children's feet can vary considerably even between children of the same age.

Sizing Guide for Baby, Toddler, First Walker & Kids Sandals (AU/US/EU/UK)
Finding the right size pair of sandals for your little one as they are learning to walk need not be a difficult task, and a good baby sandal size guide will make the task a lot easier. For a better fit in summer when feet swell up, our sandals are a tiny bit larger and wider than our shoes. Don't worry, our beautiful children's baby, toddler and children's sandals still follow Australian sizing. However, to make it easier for everyone, we've included a handy sizing conversion table / chart so that you can easily convert between European (EU), American (US), United Kingdom (UK) and Australian (AU) sizes.
Just measure your child's foot from heel to the tip of their big toe and add about 1cm for growing.
Handy hint for measuring your child's foot: We sometimes find it easier to put their feet on a piece of blank paper, trace around it and then measure after as it can be impossible to hold a tape measure to their wiggly little feet.
All you have to do then is order your required size based off the cm measurement (don't forget to add that extra cm). If your baby is between sizes or you aren't completely sure, select the larger size. They do grow quite quickly!
