If you are interested in buying baby shoes then you have probably been thinking about what size shoe would fit your baby. Getting an accurate foot measurement is important. It is also surprisingly easy to calculate. Correctly fitting shoes are essential for proper development of your baby's little feet. From newborn babies to 18 month old babies and beyond you will notice feet being used in a myriad of different ways. Babies become more active when they get older and this must be taken into account when choosing the right baby shoe.

Baby feet should be measured quite regularly. As baby feet grow quickly they will need to be measured monthly. One of the earliest shoe types that you will buy is called crib shoes or pre-walkers. These baby shoes should be made from breathable materials like leather. Your baby's feet are delicate and they are constantly growing. They are very pliable and this is why the baby shoes you buy should not be restrictive.

Each baby shoe brand is different so make sure to view the sizing charts that are available on the website or shop you visit. If you are interested in finding out how to measure a baby's foot then read on.

In order for you to get correct measurements for baby feet you must hold the baby in a standing position. If they can stand by themselves then that is fine too.

It is important that you measure both the length and the width of your baby's foot. Both will grow over time so you must get both correct. Make sure to measure both foot lengths as one might be longer than the other. Use the largest size as your shoe guide. Leave one third of an inch in wiggle room in the front of the shoe. Repeat the measuring process for the width and fit to the largest size. When you are certain you have the right measurements then proceed to buy an adorable pair of new baby shoes.
