I just held the soles up to LO's foot and tried them on if they looked okay. All the while telling my friend that I had no idea what I was doing. He's nowhere close to walking yet (he's still not crawling!) so I bought a size larger.
For DD's first pair of shoes we took her to a local shoe store and had them properly measure her feet. We got help from them picking a pair that were best for her. Those first shoes were expensive, but I felt it was important that they be good shoes and fit properly as she learned to walk. After that I knew the size and could get cheaper shoes. I do find that as she has gotten older, shoes continue to be the one thing that I want her to try on before buying.
