I did summer, fall, spring shoe buying, which worked out to be every four months or so.

About every four months at that age, but it wasn't always even growth.

I do it by season as well, and ive never had her feet measured.
I put her foot in and if it feels comfortable to her and i can feel her toes arent at the end of the shoes then they fit imo.

My kid was 18 mos and 20 mos (and wearing a 5.5 or so) when I bought her 6s, 7s and 8s at TotSwap last Sept and Dec. She is just now, a year later, able to fit in the 7s. I thought her feet would never grow. Maybe she'll have some crazy growth spurts soon, or maybe she'll end up with smallish feet like me, but I was starting to worry!

When I can't shove her feet into her shoes.

I do it by seasons unless there is a reason to replace sooner.
Spring: "nice" sneakers
Summer: waterproof hiking sandals
Fall: sneakers again
Winter: waterproof boots
We are very outdoorsy and want them to have appropriate outdoor footwear, and getting sneakers in the off-seasons means that we always have some fairly plain leather shoes they can wear for a more dressy outing like church.

At 2, you should be able to make it at least 6 months or more without buying a new size. I bought new sneakers for my 2+ YO in late winter, and finally bought him a new pair of sneakers this month. One foot hadn't sized out yet, but the shoes were looking pretty rough. We went through sizes much more frequently when he was smaller.

That seems a bit excessive.
I agree. We buy them slightly big and they last 6 months. We basically buy winter shoes and summer shoes.

It was about every three months. Definitely buy them a half size big.

At that age I popped into Stride Rite to get them measured pretty much whenever I was at the mall but at least every 3 months. When my daughter was 2 she grew two whole shoe sizes in 3 months once.

When they outgrow them. If I see a good deal I will get the next size up and put them away.

Do you just wait until it looks their toes are hitting the edge or do you go to get them sized at a certain frequency?
