How fast do toddlers' feet grow?

[Mary Jo]

We finally went to get Adam some walking shoes today, since he's been up and off for 2 months, and his soft-soled shoes are no good outside in rainy, cold weather.

The lady said to come back in 6 weeks to be remeasured. Is he likely to have gone up a size or a half-size in that time? How many sizes do toddlers generally go up from 12-24 months? He's a 5G right now and I think his feet have had a big growth spurt recently because he fit his 6-12 month Robeez comfortably till he was almost 12 months and they are a UK 1.5-3.

Chloe and Jaycee went from a 3g to a 4g in 6 weeks.

Riya was a 3.5G 9 weeks ago and is now a 5G according to clarks.

Wow, Lyla's feet must be TINY! She is only a 3G and she is 15 months, Ive tried 3 times to get her measured for walkers because she has just started walking, but her feet have only grown from a 2.5F to a 3G in 6 months, half a size?? She has now had 2 pairs of cruisers from Clarks, I really want to get her some walkers but they dont start walkers till a 3.5G, so prob be waiting another 6 months!!!!!

haiden had his feet measured when he woz about 10 months old n woz a size 3g. Got them measured again a couple of weeks ago n his now a size 5h. Unfortunately he cant have shoes as they're too heavy for him to walk in

We got my son's first pair of shoes in February. We've had him measured every six weeks since then, and he has gone up at least half a size each time! His feet are huge!!

archie grew a whole size in 4 weeks he went from a 3.5g to a 4.5g hes now a 5g and seems to have slowed down

 

[Panda_Ally]

Since Feb this year holly has gone from a 3G to a 5.5H. xx

 

[golcarlilly]

Myles went from a 5G to a 6F in 8 weeks!

 

[Mary Jo]

oh crikey, I shall expect to have to shell out another £28 in 6 weeks' time then.

expensive business, this kid thing.

 

[aimee-lou]

Argghhh not what I wanted to read lol. We got Earl his first shoes yesterday (11 months 1 week) and he was a 4G. I have no money at the moment so the £28 really was a shell out lol. I shall put some money aside ready for late November! lol

Amelie went from a 2.5E to a 3.5E from start of June to start of Sept. Thats not very much but I felt bad cos she had been walking about in 2 sizes too small (well prob 1 size too small cos clarks do have loads of growth room). I plan to take Amelie every 2nd payday.


p.s. Amelie has right teeny feet for a 21 month old

My son's feet don't seem to have been that bad actually. Since 17 months he's had shoes every 3 months. Partly because of the seasons changing really though - like he had some growing room in his summer shoes that he got in June but I bought him new ones this week because the they kept raining in!

 

[cleckner04]

If Adam's feet went through a growth spurt before you got him fitted, he might get away with those shoes for a lot longer. It's really hard to predict when they'll get another growth spurt but I was told I'd probably get 1-2 months of use out of Emma's shoes before we'd need to buy a bigger size. It'll be a month tomorrow since we bought them and they still fit amazingly so hopefully we don't have to shell out for more anytime soon. I spent more money on her shoes than I would on 5 pairs of my own shoes.

at a very expensive rate it would seem! they can grow a size in less than a month but the shoe shop lady told me, on average, every 3 months!

 

[Shri]

Just to add that if I find some shoes for LO that I like, and they happen to be on offer or something, I'll buy a spare pair in the next size too. If he never wears them, I can sell them or pass them on but I've saved money by making use of offers and sales this way.

My daughters feet have only gone up 2 sizes in the past year, though she's an amazing shoe collection, she has a habit of pulling he shoes off when we go into a shoe shop and asking for new shoes, don't know where that came from.... lol.

Wiggles on the other hand has gone from a 3f to a 5f in the space of 6 weeks!

 

[joeyjo]

G got his first Clark's shoes about 6 weeks ago so I suppose I should get him measured again pretty soon

They still seem to fit very well - they are only a 2.5g! We have a pair of size 3 converse that we got as a gift & I tried them on him today - they seem huge & he flicks his feet like a clown

He has just had a bit of height growth spurt though so its probably a good time.

Erin's feet are growing really slowly. At 12 months she was in cruisers which were a 2 1/2, then at 16 months she went into walkers which were a 3, then at 21 months she went into a size 4. She is now 27 months and just gone into a 4 1/2.

So in 15 months she has gone up 2 sizes!!

Olivia was measured at a 3F in May and is still a 3F now!
