First shoes for a 15 month old

Hi all, sorry for the impending silly questions - I'm just a bit confused about shoes for a 15 month old!
My LO started walking about a month ago, so I got her measured at Clark's and she was a 2.5.
I think I'll need to bring her in soon to get measured as she's growing so fast, but where else can you buy shoes at this stage? Next/m&s etc seem to only sell pre walkers that would fit her? Any time I look online for 2.5 I think that's 2.5 in kids as they look massive and clearly not for toddlers?!
Is there anywhere apart from Clark's that measure? Thanks!

Startrite and independent shoe shops will measure (but will not be cheap), and I think John Lewis usually measure as well.

If you're looking online, you want 'infant 3' or the one that's paired with eu19 (or maybe eu18.5, not all shops do the match to European sizes exactly the same way). I think Next do a fair number of styles down to a size 3 – just watch that the sole is flat (no heel) and very flexible, since she's still so wee. ASDA used to do some very nice, flexible toddler shoes as well, if you're willing to try fitting them yourself.

Thank you! That's really informative! I just can't believe Clark's shoes are like £38?! For them to be too small in 6-8 weeks?! Oh gosh 😂 thank you x

Some may disagree but I buy all mine on Vinted or eBay for a few pounds. I want width fitting so stick to Clarks but definitely don’t want to pay that much. I only buy ones that are very good condition/not worn much.
