got ollies feet measuer the other day and he was 4f, i bought him 4.5 cos they were the nicest ones(and bargain price) so thought id go brantanos and buy him some 4's from there, i got him some pump type shoes, they only started on 4 but feeling his feet inside them theyre huge, at least 1.5 cm between his toes and the end of the shoe, but measuerd them against the clarks ones and theryre smaller then them...also measured the clarkes ones against the bottom of his feet(as you do) and they seem huge...anyone else find this problem with clarkes shoes??? x

Now you mention it Caitlins Clarks shoes are bigger looking than her nike trainners of same size....

Id guess that even though the soles are bigger, maybe the Clarks one has more cushioning/support/structure in the making/design of the shoe so the area in the inside is maybe the same size.... does that even make sense?

yeah see thats what i though, but having a good feel of his 3.5's tey felt like the still fitted perfect,still a lil gap between his toes and end of the shoe...plus looking inside the dont look that errm fat hmmm well im sure the shoe makers know what theyre doing xx

when i got ditas feet measured last the clarks lady was telling me they have a certain criteria and for young 'ens its they generally leave 1cm between the toes and the shoe ends. Not sure why but that's prob why they are a likkle bigger.

^hmm interesting, good to know. although it is strange cos 1cm next to a kids foot is huge x

Although they are 4's they actually have room for growth of a whole size! Sophia has her 5's and i keep going back to get her measured. She is now nearly a six but still she has just about enough room in her fives! Gonna go again on the weekend as think am getting near to them being too small. Sad i know, but getting abit bored of the old ones, wanna choose a new pair!

Clarks build in the extra growth room to all their kids shoes so maybe that is why they seem so much bigger?
