I am curious what size shoes other 2 yr old girls are wearing. My daughter turned 2 yrs old on Oct 23rd and we have always noticed she has had small feet. The rest of her is growing just fine (she wears 3T tops and 2T-3t bottoms), she just seems to have small feet and the sign at Babies R Us says like size 7 - 8 for a 2 yr old.... My daugher is only in a size 6...

I was just wondering what size shoe your 2yr daughter is wearing or wore if you can remember ??

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thanks ladies.....It's just so hard buying shoes for little ones, I didn't seem to have this problem with my oldest daughter or my son...It's almost like they need to make 3/4 sizes at time and not just 1/2 sizes.....lol

My daughter will be 4 in May and is just getting into a size 6 now! :) She's definately on the tiny side (size 3T tops, finally into 2T bottoms) but clothes last a long time on her! :)

My daughter's birthday is the end of July (she'll be 3 this year) and she's BARELY in a 6.5. She wears about a 3T pant and shirt, 2T is kind of touch and go anymore. She's just my little peanut, and it's good for her, because she has an array of shoes that her big sister grew out of so fast they're still like new! :) My older daughter always had feet on the larger size, she's not quite for and a half now and she's in an 11!

It totally depends on the shoe brand. My daughter would fit in a 6 of one brand or into a 8 of another.
When I bought shoes for her online I printed out the size charts for different brands and they are all over the map... best to try them on!

I don't usually splurge on clothes or shoes, but I do believe that high quality shoes are important for growing feet.
The best place to get them in our area is Nordstrom. They have superior service and well trained staff that know what they are doing. I actually pay more for my daughter's shoes than for mine...
Good luck!

Many adults have unusually big or small feet for their height. If your daughter is growing and hitting the basic developmental milestones I wouldn't waste 10 seconds worrying about whether her feet are small.

My daughter was still in a size 5 when she turned 2 and she has always been at least one size bigger in clothes because she is very long (tall- she is otherwise skinny). It was only in October that I bought her new shoes and went up to a size 7 so that she would be able to wear them longer. She will be 3 in a week and is now up to a 7 1/2 - 8. Everyone grows differently.

My daughter is 28 months old, wears size 18 mos - 24 mos. clothes and has size 5.5 - 6 feet. She is about 35 inches tall. Mom and Dad are both 5'4" tall. Poor thing! :) She has been in the same clothes for a year....before due to weight (90%) and now due to height and weight (50%). Hope this helps!

My daughter was 36 inches at her 2 year checkup, 28 lbs and in a 6-6.5 shoe. She's now maybe 38 inches (2.5 years), 30 lbs and wearing a size 7 shoe, however, some 7's are too big. But most 6.5 are too small!! So I think it might depend on the brand as well.

It sounds to me like she's right on track.

However, I wouldn't really worry about it. I have an 18 year old SIL who is 5 foot and wears an 11 shoe!!!!! Then I have a SIL who is 5'6 and wears an 8.5. You never know?!

My daughter turns 3 in May and she wears a size 7-7 1/2 and she is tall for her age. My most petite daughter wore a size 6 when she turned 2. I don't think it's anything to worry about. Your daughter just has petite feet, for which she will probably be grateful for in the future.

My daughter will be 2 at the end of the month. She is currently a size 7 but there are some shoes that I have to go up a size. My older kids were a size 8.5 at 2 yrs old. Every child is different so I think a range is more in order than a chart by age.

I don't remember what size my daughter wore when she was 2, but she is 4 now and is wearing a 9. She tends to go through crazy growth spurts with her feet. She will grow a whole size in a few weeks and then wear that size for 6-9 months. It's very strange. She just had a growth spurt, so she is now a 9. I really think it depends on the kid. My son isn't even 2 yet and he is a 6.

My daughter turned two in December, she is a size 5 1/2 to a size 7 shoe depending on the brand and cut. The size 7's are still a little big on her. She is not at all small. She weighs 26 lbs and also wears 2t bottoms and 2-3t tops. When my oldest was two she was also only a size 5 foot. My foot size is 9-10 and I think that their feet will grow as they do.
On another note, I have noticed that A LOT of parents put shoes on their kids that are in my opinion two sizes too big and I don't know the reason for that, and they insist that that is the childs shoe size. Maybe I've been wrong all along and have been putting shoes on my kids that are too small! LOL!! Or maybe they are all following Babies R Us guidelines!!!
Don't worry, her feet are just perfect!
