[quote=Anonymous]Ugh...shoes were my nightmare. Because I doubted my ability to size my son's feet, I had him sized by a children's shoe store on Lee Hwy. in Arlington (forget the name, but y'all know it), and I walked out feeling like the employee was going to tell me anything in order to sell me something. E.g. she said he had no toe room left in his current shoes, but when I showed her there was still 1/2" of room, she [i]sort of[/i] acquiesced. It was then I realized she didn't know any more than I was able to learn. Now I go online, print out the manufacturer's sizing chart, stand him on it and mark his feet. There is no hard and fast rule about how long a child should stay in one size; it all depends on growth rate. So you just need to keep checking the toe box for room (while s/he's standing), seeing if the shoes are pinching anywhere, looking for red marks when you take their shoes off, etc.[/quote]
