What size shoes do your kids wear? I've been told my boys have big feet, and would like to know if that's true :lol:

Jayden is 4 (5 in March) and is in a 12
Michael will be 2 in October and is in a 7

Caroline is 4, will be 5 in December, and wears a 12.

I'm not sure if we can compare boys with girls? But I'll post anyway. :)

Micayla (4.5) wears a size 10.
Melayna (3) wears a size 9. (I'd say she has big feet?)
Brayden (16m) wears a size 4.

Madelynn is 4.5 and wears a 10, Ava is 2.5 and wears an 8.

Just got my girls measured last week. :)

Alexia (4 1/2 yrs. end of Sept) is a size 9.
Angelina (20 mos. old) is a size 6.

Matthew is 4 and 1/4 and wears an 11.
Sara is 15 months and wears a 5.

Alyssa will be 5 in December (so 4.5) is just in a size 9

My kids have very small feet. My friends boys are 10 and in 5's in young boys.

Caleb is three and is wearing a size 8.
Ahna is one and is wearing a size 5.

Addison (4) wears a UK 10... I have to convert that... hmm, it says US 10 1/2, which doesn't seem right.
Aubrey (3) wears a US 9.
Brady (1 1/2) wears a US 5.

Aidan is 4 (okay, 5 in a month) and his sneakers are a 12 1/2.
Colin is 3 1/2 and his sneakers are a 10 1/2.

Now, that said, Colin can also wear his old sandals that are 7s. :dunno:

Seamus isn't wearing shoes at all, so I can't answer there!

Emma turned 3 yesterday and is in a size 6. I am petty sure that by Fall I will be buying 7s.

She has small feet but she gets that from me. I wear a ladies 5.

Alex is 2 (3 in October) and wears a size 8. :)

Aidan is 4 (okay, 5 in a month) and his sneakers are a 12 1/2.
Colin is 3 1/2 and his sneakers are a 10 1/2.

Now, that said, Colin can also wear his old sandals that are 7s. :dunno:

Seamus isn't wearing shoes at all, so I can't answer there!
So it's Seamus now? Not J. Shea? Or Jack Seamus? :lol:

Mason is 4.5 and wears 11 or 12 depending on the shoe.

Graham usually wears Robeez but does have a pair of runners in size 4.

Hanna just turned 5 and she's just fitting into a size 9.

Paige will be 5 in 3 months and she wears an 11 now, I bought some size 13 sandals for her for next summer, I'm hoping they fit :crossfing:

Kaleb is 13 and wears a size 12 MENS :eek:
Jacob is 10 and wears a mens 8
Riley is 4 1/2 and wears a size 9
Owen is 20 months and wears a size 5 1/2 Wide

My 15 yo nephew wears a 15. I didn't even know they made shoes that big! YIKES!

Aaron, age 3, wears a 9.5 or a 10.

Keagan (11 months old)- size 2
Kenzie (will be 4 in a week)- size 8

Kaleb is 13 and wears a size 12 MENS :eek:
Jacob is 10 and wears a mens 8


This is so amazing to me that Jacob is just younger then Tylor and Tylor is only in a 2. DH wears a 12 so I am guessing Tylor's feet might take off but then again who knows :lol:

My kids have big feet.

Emily is 6yrs old and wears size 3.
Harry is 4yrs od and wears size 1.
Samuel is 2yrs old and wears size 9.

Not sure if they are the same as US sizes.

Brookelyn will be 3 on Sept 2nd and she wears a size 7.

Jackson is 3.5 and wears a 9
Gavin will be 2 next month and wears 7.5-8

I think my kids have pretty big feet too..

Grace is 3 1/2 and wears a 9
Jacob will be 2 in October and wears a 7 wide

Seems like my kids have small feet.
Eliot is 5 1/2 and wears an 11 1/2
Ian is 2 and wears a 5 1/2 or 6 depending on the shoe

My kids have big feet.....but I also have bigger than average kids.

Rebekah wears a 12 1/2 or 13 (US) at age 4.


Daniel wears a 5 1/2 extra wide at 9 MONTHS!!!

At 21 mos Catherine is in a 6. Someone remarked at what big feet she had but I don't think her feet are big. I felt like asking her when was the last time she actually measured her child's feet; she's probably binding them in tiny shoes!!

Christopher will by five in a few weeks and wears a size 1.
Patrick turned 3 in March and wears a size 10.
Nathan (8 months) is not walking yet.

Lora

Connor wore a 10 when he was 2! But now at almost 4, he's in an 11 1/2.
Eric is just over 2 and wears a 6 1/2.

Hey Tara! Long time no see!

Katie is 2.5 and she wears a 6.5. I don't think it will be too long before we move to 7.
Maggie is 4, and I think she is 10. The shoes she is currently wearing are an 11, but I have been told they run small. :dunno:

Emma will be 3 in October and I think she is in a size 8. I need to have her measured again soon.

Saxon is 4 1/4 and wears a 1 1/2 He has super wide feet. I guess I need to actually have them measured. He just got the 1 1/2s a week ago.

Flynn also has fat feet. He isn't wearing shoes much but the ones he has are 5s and they are small. I'd say 5 1/2 or 6. Again I should get him measured.

Don't you feel obligated to buy shoes when you have the people measure them?

:lol: I do, Stacey.

Just back from the shoe store as of yesterday!

Connor (turned 4 in May) is a 12.
Lilly (turned 4 in May) is a 10.
Brendan (18 months) is a 6.

The boys are both wides. Lilly is a narrow. :lol:

I don't feel obligated to buy the shoes anymore - DH is on a kick about her only wearing "good shoes" (he and I both have lots of foot problems, so we want to keep hers in as good a shape as possible), and so when I stop in Stride Rite, I figure I spend enough money on the shoes I do buy that that should entitle me to free shoe measurement for LIFE!

Anne are you wearing Crocs yet? They will make your feet feel better!

Not Such A Croc
Might a Fad Shoe's Health Claims Stand?
By Jennifer Huget
Special to The Washington Post
Tuesday, August 1, 2006; HE01




You've tried to ignore them, but they've spread like vermin. Crocs are everywhere. That's often the way with shoe crazes -- think Birkenstocks, Earth shoes, Dr. Scholl's. Crocs wearers are practically evangelical about the shoes' supposed comfort, but really, how can you trust people who go out in public wearing goofy rubbery clogs with vent holes in them? Might as well ascribe health benefits to chopped-off garden galoshes or jelly shoes.

Time to call in the foot experts and expose the things for the frauds they are. Except -- surprise -- that turns out to be more difficult than you might imagine.

Crocs, made of a resin foam called Croslite and listing for $29.99, are featured prominently on the Web site of the Bethesda-based American Podiatric Medical Association ( http://www.apma.org/ ) as one healthy alternative to flip-flops; two Crocs models -- both in the Crocs Rx line, designed for people with diabetes and others with circulatory and foot ailments -- recently have been awarded the APMA Seal of Acceptance. The APMA takes special note of the fact that Croslite "warms and softens with body heat and molds to the users' feet, while remaining extremely lightweight."

Harold Glickman, chief of podiatric surgery at Sibley Memorial Hospital, praises Crocs for their ample toe room, deep and supportive heel cup and secure rear strap. Their loose fit, he said, means no pressure points or rubbing spots, and their nonporous material gives them antibacterial properties that makes them "a huge asset to those susceptible to infection -- those with diabetic ulcerations, wounds or poor circulation."

Glickman, who isn't among the physicians who have partnered with the makers of Crocs to stock the shoes in their offices, began recommending them to patients after he began wearing them himself. "I found them myself to be so comfortable, a bell went off." Now he suggests them to people with plantar fasciitis, a painful stretching of the tissue along the bottom of the foot, and to those undergoing bunionectomies or other foot surgery. "The patient can go right into them post-operatively, bandage and all."

Glickman's sold on Crocs for the healthy-footed, too. Their stable foot bed, he says, prevents wobbling and excessive pronation -- in which body weight falls on the inner edge of the sole, causing ankle, knee and low-back pain. He also says they make a good alternative to flexible bedroom slippers, which he calls a "major cause of foot problems."

The shoes have also been certified by United States Ergonomics ( http://www.us-ergo.com/home.asp ), which Crocs paid to test their capacity for efficient and safe use. In a study in which participants wore both Crocs and the most comfortable footwear they had in their own closets, Crocs caused less muscle fatigue and foot pressure, Ergonomics president Kevin Costello said.

Of course, the whole medical community hasn't gone nuts over Crocs. Several orthopedists contacted for this story had never heard of the shoes. And while Glenn Thomas, a physical therapist at Georgetown University Hospital, says he loves wearing them and "wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to patients," he admits that he doesn't know for sure of any great health benefit tied to Crocs.

Nor is the fashion world enamored of Crocs. Though their maker touts their "ultra-hip Italian styling," lots of folks find them hideous, as evidenced on blogs like http://kelly.typepad.com/kelly/2006/06/to_croc_or_not_.html , where Croc-bashers abound. And don't get Stacy London, co-host of The Learning Channel's "What Not to Wear," started. London knocks Crocs for making wearers' legs look heavy and short and notes that there are other "comfort shoes" that are more flattering.

Crocs were launched in 2002 when three sailing buddies -- one wearing clogs made by a company called Foam Creations -- decided to go into the shoe business. Sold on the clogs' skid-resistant, non-marking soles, vent holes, light weight, quick drying speed and built-in antibacterial to ward off stink, the guys bought the rights to the shoes (they eventually bought the company as well) and started peddling the boat shoes under the name Crocs.

Even without advertising, word spread to others who spend lots of time on their feet. Restaurant workers were early adopters, as were doctors and nurses, for whom closed-top Crocs, without the upper vent holes, were developed; Crocs issued colors such as sage and light blue to match surgical scrubs. Celebrity chef Mario Batali is among the shoes' most prominent (and unpaid) proponents. Crocs Inc. expects sales of around $200 million in 2006.

(Disclosure: Acting on a tip from my best friend, I got my first Crocs last winter. My chronic low-back pain disappeared quickly. I now own two pairs -- as do my daughter, son and normally conservative husband.)

Crocs co-founder Duke Hanson says he and his sailing buddies didn't set out to create an orthopedic shoe but discovered their foot-friendly attributes as they went along. He likes the fact that the Crocs Rx models, which feature a softer foot bed and wider toe box and sell for $39.95 at http://www.crocs.com/ , provide people with ailing feet a comfortable footwear option at a reasonable price.

In the end, though, the Crocs cachet isn't about orthopedics. Says Hanson, "You feel like you're part of a group when you're wearing them." ·

I'm getting Sarah measured this week, but I'd guess she's around a 3.5 or 4.

I was thinking of actually buying the shoes at the Stride Rite outlet since there's two down in Myrtle Beach where we're going on vacation in a couple weeks. Anyone know how their prices compare to Stride Rite's prices?

Amy, the prices at the SR outlet here are around $16 - 25 per pair, I think. (it's been a while since I've been there)

Rayna is 2.5 and is a 7.5.

Not yet - besides the base ugliness, I can't find any that fit right! They are ridiculously huge around the toe area, makes me feel like I'm wearing Little Dutch Boy wooden shoes or something. I may not have a choice soon though, since I am facing that bunion surgery mentioned in the article.

Anne are you wearing Crocs yet? They will make your feet feel better!

Alex will be 4 in 3 weeks and wears a 11.5
Dylan will be 12 in 9 weeks and wears a women's 7! :woa: She is in that weird stage where her feet are bigger than the rest of her!

I just bought shoes for Kelsey tonight - women's size EIGHT!!! She is 9 and entering the fourth grade. Both DH and I have big feet - that poor kid is doomed.

Those itty bitty baby shoes that people have bronzed? My kids never wore them :lol:

Morgan is 4 and wears 12 or 13.

Aidan is 4.5 years old and is in a 10.5 and has been for quite some time, so I expect him to outgrow them soon.

Elliott is 2.5 years old and is in a 7.5/8. His feet just grew recently. He was in a 7 all summer and then last week, I noticed his toes hanging off his sandals! Oops! I am guessing that when I get him measured in a month, he'll need size 8 shoes for fall.

Norah, also 2.5, is in a 6.5/7 (depends on the shoe...all her tennis shoes are 6.5, but her sandals are 7's.).

Janelle is 4 and in size 7.

Kincaid is 2 1/2 and in a size 6.


My kids have tiny feet, but DH only wears a 7 in mens...so they will probably never be big. I wear a 7 in womens.

I had Sarah measured this week and she's in a 5. I"m hoping to find something good at the Stride Rite Outlet next week.

I get Janelle Stride Rites at marshalls/tj max most of the time. They range from $8 to $12 a pair.

I've never found boys ones there though, so Caid gets his at the normal store or nordstroms.

Hannah is 6 and wears a 13
Noah is 5 and wears an 11
Maddie is 4 and wears an 8
