Frequently asked questions

The easiest way is to use the calculator in the size guide: it gives you the size based on your child's age or the length of their foot.

The soft leather slippers come in eight sizes, from size 16-17 (EU), for 0 to 6 months, to size 31-32, for 5 to 6 years.

The Petit Moccs come in four sizes, from 16-17 (0 to 6 months) to 22-23 (18 to 24 months).

Before they walk, babies don't need shoes: their feet will develop well if they are left alone, the Canadian Paediatric Society reminds us. The American Academy of Pediatrics adds that babies' feet develop best if they're not confined in shoes, and that first shoes should be soft and non-slip, without arches or added support — extras that may make walking harder.

A soft leather slipper fits with this advice: it protects the foot and grips smooth floors, without stopping it from moving. This is not medical advice: if your child has pain when walking, talk to their doctor.
