Small Gauge
Sit your child on an adult's knee
Hold the Start-rite gauge in your left hand
Place the foot in the gauge holding the heel firmly against the back of the gauge with the left hand and ensure that the toes are lying flat on the gauge
Push the length slider forward so that it rests lightly against the longest toe
Holding the length slider in place, remove the foot and make a note of the length measurement indicated in front of the slider
Take the tape measure provided and wrap it around the foot diagonally from the big toe joint to the little toe joint (the widest part of the foot)
Pull the tape gently to take up any slack and make a note of the width measurement, indicated by the tape's marker
Repeat steps 1 to 7 for the other foot as feet often vary in size
Take the width measurement of the widest foot and the length measurement of the longest foot and use the size calculator to find the shoe size for your child
