FINDING THE RIGHT SIZE

Three easy ways to find the right Bobux size

Just like adult shoes, if kid’s shoes are the wrong size our little adventurers will feel uncomfortable. We’ve got some great tools to help you find the right size for your kid’s growing feet, pick which one works best for you.

Size conversion table

Bobux shoes are designed to include a little extra ‘wiggle room’, so sizing might seem larger than other brands. If your child measures at the beginning of a Bobux size, they’ll have around half an inch of space between their foot and the end of the shoe, allowing them a quarter inch of growth and a quarter inch of wiggle room. Your child’s toes should never be touching the end of the shoe. As you can see the Xplorer, Step Up and I-Walk ranges include size 22. This is because of the different developmental stages children can be at when wearing this size - some are walking confidently, others are still finding their feet!

Place the paper flat on the ground against a wall

Step three

Stand your child with one foot on the paper and their heel against the wall

Step four

Trace around their toes and repeat with the other foot

Step five

Measure the length from the top of their toes to the end of the paper that was against the wall

Step six

Make a note of the millimetre measurement of their longest foot and use our size conversion chart to find their Bobux shoe size. Note: Our sizing chart accounts for growth room!

If your child’s foot measurement puts them in the 18-22eu size range, consider their level of activity to select the best stage range for them.
