How do I know if my child’s shoes are too small?

Signs include toes pressing at the front, red marks, complaints of sore feet, or your child wanting to take them off frequently. You should be able to press your thumb gently at the front and still feel some space.

How often should I replace my child’s shoes?

On average, every 3–4 months — or sooner if the shoes feel tight, show visible wear, or your child says they’re uncomfortable. Feet can grow quickly, especially in toddlers and school-age kids.
