When is the Time for Your Next Child Shoe Purchase?

Parents have asked us thousands of times over the past 23 years questions on how often do they need to have their children's feet checked or how fast will their kids grow? We have told them to follow this schedule:
12 - 18 MONTHS OF AGEEVERY 2 MONTHS: The average child's foot grows more than half a shoe size during this time frame, so a new fitting should be done every 2 months.
18 - 30 MONTHS OF AGEEVERY 3 MONTHS: The average growth within this age range is half a shoe size every three months, so refitting should be done every 3 months.
30 MONTHS - 5 YEARS OF AGEEVERY 4 MONTHS: Growth rate on the average is less than a half size in three months, so refitting is recommended every 4 months.
5 YEARS & OLDEREVERY 6 MONTHS: The average growth rate slows down to 1/4 size over three months, so pediatric professionals recommend fitting every 6 months. We hope that this information is helpful in planning for your children's shoe purchases.
