Size Chart & Fit Guide

Please Note: The size printed on the bottom of the shoe is the manufacturer's tag size. Please use the insole measurements (in inches) below to determine the best fit for your baby, rather than relying solely on age or standard US sizing.

For the most accurate fit, please measure your baby’s foot from the back of the heel to the tip of the longest toe. If between sizes, we recommend sizing up to allow room for growth.

How to Measure Your Baby's Foot at Home

1. Place a piece of paper on a hard, flat surface.
2. Have your baby stand on the paper (or gently press their foot flat against it if they are not standing yet).
3. Make a mark at the back of the heel and another mark at the tip of their longest toe.
4. Measure the distance between the two marks with a ruler or measuring tape.
5. Add about 0.25" to the measurement for wiggle room, and compare it to the "Insole Length" in our chart above.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Are soft sole shoes better for first walkers?
Yes! Pediatricians and podiatrists highly recommend soft sole shoes for infants and toddlers learning to walk. The soft cotton sole on these sandals mimics barefoot walking, helping babies build strength, balance, and coordination.

Can my baby wear these sandals in the water or at the beach?
No, these are not water shoes. While they feature a fun, aquatic mermaid design, the outsoles are made of soft cotton, which absorbs water and is not meant for wet environments. They are strictly designed for dry, indoor use or gentle outdoor activities like stroller rides and walking practice on smooth, dry surfaces.

Do these baby sandals have good grip for hardwood floors?
Yes, the bottom of the cotton outsole features textured, non-slip grip dots that provide excellent traction on smooth surfaces like tile, laminate, and hardwood floors.

Will these fit babies with wide or chubby feet?
Absolutely. The adjustable hook-and-loop strap allows you to customize the width and tightness, making them a very accommodating choice for babies with wider feet or high insteps.

How should I clean these soft-sole sandals?
We recommend spot cleaning the sandals using a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat. Do not machine wash, as it may degrade the cotton sole and grip dots.
