How to choose the correct size boots for your child:

Measure the length of your child's foot while they're standing upright. Be sure to measure both feet, as their left and right foot may be different lengths. This is normal. Start by standing your child up against a wall with their weight evenly distributed between both feet. Place their heel against the wall and a book on the floor so that it is touching their longest toe. Then measure both feet in centimeters from the heel on the wall to the longest toe against the book. We recommend adding 1.5cm for growing room (1cm for toddlers), to the length of your childs feet and then selecting the size that best matches that measurement below.

For example, if your child's feet measure 14.5cm long you will then need to add  1.5cm (room to grow) which gives you a measurement of 16cm. Choose the EU shoe size that has an insole measuring closest to 16cm. Checking below will show you that you should order the EU24 size boot. You should not choose a boot with an insole bigger than 16cm as this may be too big for your child to walk in and therefore be uncomfortable.

Rubber Boots

When buying rain boots for your child, avoid buying ones with too much room for growth as rain boots cannot be strapped to the foot in the same way other footwear can. If the rain boots are far too big, the feet and heels will slide back and forth. This could mean they wear down faster, both on the inside and the outside, not to mention be uncomfortable for the child.

Rain boots are already fairly large and wide compared to other shoes and boots. You should therefore make sure to choose a pair with an appropriate volume, both in terms of shaft and width. If you want a little extra warmth and a more snug fit, you can add an extra wool sole inside the boots. A thick pair of tights or wool socks can also help.
