I have a new baby girl (6 1/2 weeks) and a 7 1/2 year old boy. I am trying to remember how fast my son's feet grew, but it was so long ago that I just don't remember! Can some of the Mamas out there with young kids tell me (1) how old your kids are and (2)what size shoes they wear? I am looking for up to about 1 1/2 years old. I realize that all kids will grow at different rates, but I am just looking for a general idea. I try to but most things at mom2mom sales, garage sales or on clearance, so I often am buying ahead of time and I don't want to buy sandals and have her be that size in January or get boots that she can't fit until next June! I do realize that at her age she doesn't really NEED shoes and she will wear just socks or go barefoot when she is learning to walk, but I will want them on occasion.
TIA!!!!
My 21 month daughter wears a size 6. One of her friends the same age wears size 5 and the other friend wears size 8.
Every kid is different, even in the same family, so I don't think you can predict it.
I have a nine month old boy in size 4
i have a 2 1/2 yr old girl in size 8
both came out in size one BUT i have big feet so i expected them to grow big feet. I wear size 9 myself. Now i know an 8 month old who maybe is in a size 2 his feet are VERY tiny but neither parents of the bow have big feet.
so in 9 months my son grew 3 shoe sizes and in 2 1/2 yrs my daughter grew 7 shoe sizes. my daughter @ 15 months was in a 4. yes every child is different but they get there big or little feet from u so thats something to think about.
My daughter will be 4 in 2 months and wears an 8 (I think). She's worn flip flops ALL summer! And my 14 month old wears a size 3. I think they have small feet for their ages though because my friends kids close in age wear bigger shoes.
My daughter is 15 months old and wears a 6 in most shoes, but a 5 in sandals because I like them to fit shorter since they have an open toe. By the time she was 6 months old, she was already in a 4...but I think, in general, she has big feet. :)
Oh my gosh...after reading the other answers...I have bigfoot! :) I knew her feet were big, but wow... :)
And she gets it from her dad. I only wear a 7. (I fib. I wore a 7 before children. Now I wear an 8.)
My DD started started wearing size 2 shoes around 9 months... when she hit a year old she was in size 3. She is now 15 months, and into size 4... Lovely growth spurts!!! lol.
My girls feet were much smaller than my son's at the same ages. Boy's feet are bigger in general I think, so you may not be able to gauge your daughter's shoe sizes based on what your son wore anyway. I had one daughter that wore a size 4 at a year, and one that wore a size 2 at a year. I think you will just have to buy as you go, or buy when you see a cute pair at a garage sale, or good deal on clearance and hope she will fit them in the right season and if donate them to a good charity or friend and know that you weren't out a bunch of money since you didn't pay much for them anyway. Just don't overbuy! It's hard not too! Little girl shoes are soooo cute!! Good luck!
my 2 year old is in a 7...i have 8 month old twins but i havent put them in shoes yet...lol, because our 2 year old had shoes when he was about a month or so old, the soft ones without a real sole in them. my twins have such fat feet though, i would guess them to be a 1 or 2 i dont know.
My 4 year old son is wearing a 10, sometimes 11. My 1 1/2 year old son is wearing a 5.
My daughter turned 2 beginning of June. She wears a 7 right now. She's about the height of a 3 year old. I think her feet are similar. She was born with bigger feet and has kept them, though they are proportional to the rest of her. So I don't know if she's a good standard.
One thing I have that I love is a shoe sizer I bought from One Step Ahead http://www.onestepahead.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId...
Because kids outgrow shoes so fast when they were little I am able to keep up with what size my kids are and dig through the box of bought aheads (I do the same thing you do a lot). My daughter lived in those Robeez style shoes because she has a weird quirk of always wanting something on her feet. She wore shoes more than my 2 boys combined pre-walking.
My 15 month old son wears size 5 for stride rite shoes. I think he has been wearing size 5 since 11 or 12 months old but different brands of shoes , so size is not exactly same for all brands.
