how to measure

finding your shoe size takes just 3 steps.

  1. Stand with one bare foot on a piece of paper.
  2. Mark the paper at the back of your heel bone & at the end of your longest toe.
  3. Measure the distance between these two points in a straight line, & repeat the same steps for the other foot.

If one foot is longer, use the larger measurement to find your shoe size by referencing the size chart above. If your measurement is in between sizes & the shoes don’t come in half sizes, please round up to the next size.

Remember, this chart can only approximate your true shoe size. Finding a shoe that fits also depends on brand, style and individual. To find the best fit, we recommend visiting a Target store to try on different shoe sizes & styles.

Q: 5yr old wears 9.5, should I size up to 10?

submitted by SMB - 2 years ago
  • A: Usually sizing up is a good idea when your child is a half size. The elastic cord can be pulled tighter and tied into a bow to create a snugger fit if full size is slightly too big.

  • A: Usually it is best to size up when your child is a half size. The elastic cord can be adjusted and tied into a bow for a snugger fit if the whole size is slightly big.

    They fit great, true to size. My daughter loves them and she loves the bow. I do wish that the bow didn’t come untied but it’s not a deal breaker. Great price too!

    Perfect ballet slippers

    These lasted my 4 year old thru her 8 week ballet class and still look great. She will be using them again for the next session and will definitely re-purchase them again next year. Fit as they should, purchased the size she wears in regular shoes (12). Great value and do what they need to do!
