The size of shoe that a 1-year-old wears can vary, but on average, a 1-year-old wears a size 4C shoe, assuming their longest foot measures 4 ¾ inches. However, it is important to measure your childs feet to ensure the correct fit, as every childs feet grow at different speeds. Here are some general guidelines for baby shoe sizes based on age:

• 0-2 months: 0.5C - 1.5C
• 1-3 months: 2C
• 3-6 months: 2.5C
• 6-9 months: 3C
• 9-11 months: 3.5C
• 10-12 months: 4C

It is recommended to leave a little extra room for your childs feet to grow into their new shoes. To measure your babys feet, you can use a ruler or printable size chart, and then use a baby shoe size chart from the brand youre shopping with to select the perfect size. Once you have the shoes, confirm they fit with the "toe test". Choosing the correct size of baby shoes is important for your little ones comfort, healthy foot development, and protection as they explore their world.
