Considering Shoes For Babies

The Numerical Measurement Method

Easy to perform and accurate to a T, I recommend a flexible tape measure (like those used by sewers and knitters) to measure your baby's foot. Use a colored marker to note directly on the tape measure how long your baby's foot is and just toss it in your purse. It's easy to transport, won't get mashed in your purse, and will prove incredibly accurate when you go to the store to measure crib shoes.

For me, it was always a milestone when their teeny toes met with the tip of my finger. While it may seem a silly measuring method, it can actually prove pretty useful when you're buying crib shoes; if you know how long your baby's foot is (when compared to your index finger) it makes it easier to hold up a crib shoe and compare the two.

However, there are several things you can attempt, that might make the purchasing a little easier. These are pretty rogue, but they get the job done. After all, Plato once said, "necessity, who is the mother of all invention."
