If the insoles are removable, remove them.

Air Dry, keep away from any heat source or sunlight.

Do not use cleaners with bleach or fabric softeners.

Washable: Footwear that indicates they are machine washable - wash in mild or non-detergent cleaners in cold water.

For heavily soiled footwear use spray on cleaners specially made for footwear. An old soft toothbrush works great on suede surfaces.

Clean - Brush off loose dirt and spot clean footwear with damp cloth.

Socks that are too small will not fit properly in the heel.

Good fitting: Loose fitting socks that are too big, bunch and rub inside your child's shoes.

Some printed socks will have threads on the inside where the pattern is present.

Smooth one colour or stripe socks instead of printed socks.

Sensitive little feet? Here are some suggestions to help:

'Knee High' style sock is just above the calf and below the knee.

'Crew' or 'Mid' style sock is just below the calf.

'Ankle' style sock is just above the ankle bone.

'No Show' style of sock is just below the ankle bone.

'Kick Proof' socks have two elasticized areas, around the sock cuff and also above the heel (ankle).

When a sock is labeled 'seamless', it might still have a seam, but it will 'feel' seamless.

A Comfort Seam sock has a toe seam which is less bulky resulting in a more comfortable fit.

'Comfort Seam' is a term for sewing the seam together to reduce the uncomfortable ridge caused by traditional machine sewing.

Heat will cause extra shrinkage and premature deterioration of the lycra or elastane. Wash in cold water and dry on low or hang to dry. Dependent on how they are woven, type of pattern, or solid. Please use this chart as a guide only, see each brand for their size guide.Įxpect shrinkage after washing your new socks and there might be slight sizing variations between each style, even with the same brand.

You have probably discovered not all socks use the same sizing system. Take note if the sizing guide is the actual length, then you will need to add room for growth when picking the correct size. Take the longest foot measurement and use the Brand's Size Guide to help determine the correct size. Some brands will have a 'general' size guide, but each of their styles can vary in how they fit and measure. We find that these measurements are not always exact. If using the Brand's size chart, use this as a guide only. Option 2: Use Brand's size chart as a guide. Please provide your child's foot measurements of both feet and the style of footwear you wish to purchase along with any width suggestions such as flat narrow feet, wide ball or high instep. We will even measure the inside of the shoe and compare to your child's measurement. Once you have taken your child's foot measurements and you wish to order shoes on-line, please contact us and we will help you determine the right size for your child before placing your order. For example, slip on style shoes, since there is no strap around the ankle to keep the heel seated in the back of the shoe, we might not recommend as much room for growth to help with reducing heel slippage. We suggest to allow 1/2 to 3/4' room for growth for most shoes, depending on the style of the shoe and age of the child.

if you need recommendations please contact us and we will be happy to help! Tip: A shoe style labeled wide width does not necessarily fit deeper than another style in a medium width. Usually a child with a high instep will find some shoes don't fasten over completely at the top. If your child has a high instep (top part of the foot is thick) then look for a shoe that is taller in height across the instep and opens up deep for ease of putting on and extra adjustment.Some children can have high insteps (top portion of their foot is thick), while others can have a wide width across the toe joint or 'ball' portion.Width can vary depending on the shoe and the shape of your child's foot.We find this method more accurate in determining the length of your child's foot in comparison to tracing your child's foot. Tip: If you are measuring a toddler, have someone steady your child while you focus on their feet.Many children will have one foot longer than the other. From the back of the heel to the foot's longest toe. Check to see if your child is curling their toes, if so flatten them out.Have your child's full weight on the foot you are measuring.Have your child stand on a ruler or tape measure placed up against a wall on a hard, flat floor surface.

Shoes sizes/fit recommendations can vary depending on the style and manufacturer.It is best to have your child's foot measured in our store by one of our qualified shoe fitting specialists.
