pedipeds and sizing

ladylisalt

I bought LO some shoes that were sized 12-18 mos. When I looked online for pedipeds they were sized 1, 2, 3,etc. Do you know the conversions? Would 12-18 mos. be size 5?

Take a measuring tape and measure your child's foot. That's usually the size of their foot by numbers not months. I have a friend who's daughter is two years old and she wears size 9 in shoes.

12-18 months is a big range. I think most shoes use the single digit sizing.  DS wears a 6.5W according to Stride Rite. Can you take LO in to be measured?  We like the pedipeds because they fit his wide feet even though they don't come in "wide" sizes. They'd probably run too big for a lot of people.

I think with pedipeds a12-18 months converts to a 5-5.5 size. According to their size chart. But I also think they tend to run a bit big on DS.

Look at the orignals chart.  At Stride Rite they measured DD as a 5.5 and I got her the xl 18-24 months and they fit great.

In comparison, Stride Rite measured our LO as a size 5 and we also bought PediPeds 12-18 months. They fit fine currently and there's room to grow.
