toddler average shoe size..........

Had DD's feet measured today, was a bit shocked to find her feet are size 9 (she is 2 and a half). They seem to have grown one and a half sizes in about 5 months! And it was the Clarks machine, so i would imagine that you can't get an erroneous measurement on this?

Will anybody share their toddlers feet sizes with me, so i know whether this is average or I am going to be buying very large shoes in the future!

My dd1 is 3 since May and has just started wearing a 6 1/2. We always get comments in the shoe shop about her small feet though.

My little one is only 18 months and his first pair of shoes about six weeks! ago (i have now just felt the money dissapear from my purse)were a size 6.5 so i guess he will be the same as your little girl.

ds was in his first shoes at 10 months as he was already walking well, and he went straight in to a size 5, I thought he had huge feet, esp as my friend's 16 month old ds is still only in a size 4. DS is now 23 months and he's in size 7, he does seem to have slowed down a bit, he was in size 6 or 6.5 for ages.

My DD was 2 a couple of weeks ago and is a size 8. I thought this was normal until I went to buy her some socks and the size for her shoe size said age 4-6!!!

So she has honking great feet. Big hands too. I guess she will be tall and strapping (which is fine) rather than have clown-style bits

Don't trust the clarks machine. When my dd was 3 one measured her at a 10. The shoes were obviously miles too big, and I went to an independent retailer who remeasured her as an 8 1/2.
In saying that, my friends dd was in an 11 by the time she was 3, and my youngest DS is a 9 at age 3.

19 month old in size 2 - (thank goodness she is not walking properly yet as nowhere makes them small enough)

2.3 mo ds is size 6.

Yes, mankyscot is right, Clarks come up bigger than other makes (eg Start-rite is at least 1/2 or 1 size smaller).

Thanks for all your replies. From the sounds of it I probably can't say she is definitely going to have ridiculously large feet when she is older!! Might get her remeasured at another shop though....

DD is 2 on Monday, and size 7 (Clarks).

she is a tall girl like me, about half a head taller than your average 2 year old. but from reading this, it seems her feet are not that unusually big. i suppose she has taken after me as i'm one inch off six foot but my feet are a relatively small adult 7.

You can measure them yourself by drawing around them wearing socks and measuring with a ruler in cm's and go online for a coversion chart.
