FREE Start-Rite tool to measure Children/Young People feet for new shoes

ree and easy to use

Download our free paper measuring gauge and follow the simple step-by-step instructions included with it to measure your child’s feet at home.

Don’t forget to check your printer settings are marked as ‘Do not Scale’ - if not the gauge won’t calculate accurately.

Once you have the measurement for both the length and circumference, you’ll just need to visit our shoe size calculator to get your child's Start-Rite shoe size.

What age is the paper measuring gauge suitable for?

It’s perfect for kids who can stand on their own and have a shoe size smaller than a large L 8.

If your child’s younger, or has smaller feet, then you may find it easier to measure their feet using our small measuring gauge.

4. If your child needs a width other than the industry standard 'F' (which fits the majority of children), choose 'D-E' for narrow, 'G' for wide or 'H' for extra-wide feet. This doesn’t need measuring each time – once wide-footed you’re generally always wide-footed, so go with the width of previous shoes they've been measured for.
