Ensuring a perfect fit is crucial to make sure baby is comfortable in his/her new sneakers. Visiting a shoe store is best to get an accurate measurement, but that may not be possible or convenient any time soon with coronavirus restrictions. But the good news is you can obtain measurements at home using items you have around the house.  To measure length, use a ruler from the outside of baby's heel to the tip of the big toe on both feet. You should also measure the width of baby's feet. The easiest way to do this is to take a ribbon or string and wrap it around the widest part of the foot. Preferably, record measurements when baby is standing up and putting full weight on those feet. (I know it's easier said than done!) And if baby just won't cooperate, make it a fun activity to do together by tracing baby's foot with pencil and paper. While you won't be able to get a measurement on the width of feet, you can still get an accurate reading on length.  Another helpful tip is to measure feet later in the afternoon. Feet tend to swell throughout the day, so it's best to measure when they are at their largest for comfortable shoe fit.  Keep in mind that sizing is not created equal and often differ from brand to brand. Having both the length and width measurements will help you navigate companies' sizing charts and guides to make the best decision.
