    Measuring your child's feet

    Print and verify measuring chart accuracy

    Step 1

    • Print out the measuring chart. Make sure that your printer is set to 100% page.

    • Double-check the measurements are correct against a ruler.

    Child foot measurement

    Step 2

    • Place your child’s foot on the paper. Ask them to stand tall with their feet slightly apart.

    • Make sure that their heel is in line with the back of the gauge.

    • Make a mark where the child’s longest toe reaches (note: this is not always the big toe). This is their shoe length.

    Foot width measurement

    Step 3

    • Cut the width measuring tape from the paper. Check the measurements against a ruler.

    • Place it under the child's foot and measure at the widest part of the foot, usually diagonal from the big toe joint to the small toe joint.

    • Take note of the measurement. This is their width.

    Trying on shoes

    Step 4

    • When the new shoes have arrived, it is time to try them on. Once the shoes are fastened securely, ask the child to stand with their weight evenly distributed between both feet.

    • Check that there is a thumb's width between the child's toes and the end of the shoe. If you cannot feel their toes, ask them to wiggle their feet.

    • The shoe should fit snugly in the heel. Give it a little tug as if trying to pull it off. If it stays in place, this is the correct fit.

    • Check that the width is not too tight across the joint.

    Sizing tools and guides

    At Monkhouse, we know how important it is to find the right size school uniform for your child. Our size guide videos are designed to help assist you with measuring your child for each individual garment, and then also offer some advice on how it should fit when worn.


    You can also find helpful tips on how to use our new digital sizing tool ‘The Fitting Room’ to find the perfect size for your child on a select number of our products.

     

     

    How to use: The Fitting Room

    On the product details page, select the button that says 'Find your size'.

    Enter your child’s gender, height, weight and age into the sizing tool. The tool will then generate measurements for your child’s chest and waist.

    You can now adjust these suggestions to ensure they’re accurate for your child.

    Use the sliders to adjust the comfort levels depending on how snug or wide you’d like the garment to be. The suggested sizes will then change in accordance with any adjustments made.

    Our recommendation tool will then present you with your child’s suggested size.

    Sizing tables and additional help

    We recommend checking your child's measurements before buying, using our top tips to ensure the best fit. To get the most accurate measurements, where possible measure over the undergarments most likely to be worn, rather than over outer clothing.

    Please Note: All of the sizes of our garments are given in inches.

    1. Height: This is best done barefoot, with feet together flat on the ground and back against a wall; measure from the top of the head to the ground.

    2. Neck: Place the tape measure where the shirt collar would normally sit around the base of the neck. Leaving a little extra room is very important so that the collar is comfortable, so make sure not to pull too tightly.

    3. Chest: Take the tape measure through the underarms, around the fullest part of the chest.

    4. Waist: Measure the natural waistline, not pulling too tightly to ensure comfort.

    5. Hips: Standing straight with the heels together, take the tape measure around the fullest part of the bottom.

    6. Inside leg: This time shoes on; measure from the inside leg to where the trouser is normally worn on the shoe. If you're unsure, trousers should sit approximately 5cm from the ground.
