SCHOOL SHOE SIZING & FAQS
-
Getting the right size is essential for comfort and healthy foot development. We recommend measuring your child’s feet at home using our easy instructions below, then choosing a size that allows around 10-12mm of growing room at the toe for school-aged kids.
-
- Grab a tape measure or ruler
- Stand your child against a wall with their heels right up against the wall
- Make sure their feet are straight and flat on the ground
- Measure the distance from the wall to the end of the biggest toe, in mm
- Repeat for the other foot - usually one is bigger than the other, it's normal!
- Use the biggest measurement and add 10-12 mm of ''wiggle room'' for school shoes. This gives you the inner sole measurement of the shoe size you need to buy.
- Each size of our shoes will list the inner sole measurement next to the size.
- Note that the sizing can vary between different styles of our shoes [a size 24 in one style is not always the same in another style]. This is due to different molds being used to create the sole for different styles. So please check the measurement for the size each time!
Example: Biggest foot measures 150 mm. Look for a shoe size that is 158 - 160 mm.
-
The short answer is no!
Kids school shoes should allow room for growth without compromising stability or comfort. As a guide, we recommend no more than 10-12mm of growing room as a maximum. Shoes that are too large can cause rubbing, tripping and poor foot support — especially for younger children. If your child is measurement between sizes, in most cases you should go for the larger size (and perhaps some thick socks initially) rather than a pair they will grow out of too quickly. You can always send our helpful team an email if you need help deciding! -
A well-fitting school shoe should feel secure at the heel, allow natural movement across the ball of the foot, and provide space at the toe for growth. Your child’s toes should sit comfortably without pressing against the front, and the shoe should not slip when walking. Regular fit checks are important, as children’s feet grow quickly.
For school aged children we recommend checking the fit at the start of each term, and at any time if your child complains of foot pain or discomfort from their shoes. -
Quality school shoes should offer supportive soles, breathable materials, secure fastening and a comfortable fit. Look for durable construction, flexible movement at the forefoot, and materials like genuine leather that stand up to daily wear. At Surefit, every detail is designed to support children’s feet through busy school days.
-
As a general guide, school shoes should allow approximately 10–12mm of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe. This provides enough room for natural growth and foot movement while still maintaining proper support and stability. Any more than this can affect how securely the shoe fits and how comfortably your child moves throughout the school day.
-
A well-made pair of school shoes should last most of the school year, depending on your child’s growth and activity level. High-quality materials and construction help shoes retain their shape, support and comfort for longer. Surefit school shoes are designed with durability in mind, making them a reliable choice for everyday wear.

Buying school shoes online should feel easy and risk-free. If the fit isn’t right, it’s important to have the option to exchange or return, which is what we offer at Surefit. We recommend checking fit as soon as your order arrives so your child can start the school term comfortably and confidently.
