Baby Shoe Size Chart – Age, Foot Length (CM) & AU/US/UK/EU
Baby Shoe Size Chart – Age, Foot Length (CM) & AU/US/UK/EU
This baby shoe size chart helps you estimate the right shoe size using approximate age ranges and foot length in centimetres (CM), with a conversion view across Australian (AU), United States (US), United Kingdom (UK), and European (EU) sizing. Because babies grow at different rates and brands size shoes differently, foot length is usually more reliable than age alone.
The best way to choose a baby shoe size is to measure your baby’s foot length in cm and match it to the closest size chart range. Age is only a rough guide, because baby feet can grow at very different rates.

📏 How to Measure a Baby’s Foot (CM)
- Place a sheet of paper on a hard, flat floor against a wall.
- Gently stand your baby on the paper, or hold them upright with support, with the heel lightly touching the wall.
- Mark the tip of the longest toe.
- Measure from the wall edge to the mark using a ruler or tape measure.
- Record the measurement in centimetres (CM).
For best results, measure both feet and use the longer measurement. Many parents add a small allowance of around 5–10 mm for comfort and growth, then choose the closest matching size.

📌 Baby Shoe Sizing Tips
- Foot length in CM is usually the best starting point, especially when converting between regional shoe sizes.

- Fit can vary depending on width, materials, sock thickness, and whether the shoe is soft-soled or firm-soled.
- Brand sizing can differ noticeably, so checking the official brand size guide is always recommended.
