[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmm, I thought PPs were talking about buying shoes on Zappos or other sites for use AFTER the current pair is worn out. Usually the right fit at that time is a half size up but sometimes I have to go back and get the current size again.

[b]I can't imagine people actually go to the shoe store, get their kid measured and then ask for the next size up. [/b]

PP shoe store worker here---oh yes, they do ;)  Then the kid would flop around and they would ask me to bring out the size I originally suggested.

Although, when I took my own kid for her first pair, I could tell that the salesperson was either new or didn't have enough experience with toddlers, and had to take over the transaction.  I still remember, she brought out 5 medium, which I was surprised by, because I thought DD had larger, wider feet for her age (but I didn't see the measurement).  Well, I couldn't even get them on her feet, so I had to keep requesting bigger.  She ended up in 6.5XW!  I bought my own stick for cheap on Amazon and do Zappos, but sometimes my kids like the fun of going to a shoe store, picking out in person, and wearing them home (confession: I think it's fun too!)[/quote]
