im a bit worried about ava's feet, they haven't grown at all in 3 months and still aren't a size 2 (theyre just under 10 cm) she's getting more confident on her feet by the day and can cruise right around the sitting room, what will i do if she starts walking and theyre still too small to get shoes for, its fine in the house but what when we're out and about.

Hey, I'm the same with ellie.

We bought her first shoes when she started walking which was 17th October. They said come back in 6 weeks which I did and they hadn't grown! And I took her again last week and they're still the same! (4f)!

do clarks not start at 2? x

they do katie but shes not a 2 yet, we only took her the week before last and she was about a cm off still.

Harrisons feet grow slowly, he's only just in a 4 1/2 and that was today when we went to Clarks. He started walking at 11m and we had to get him some shoes think they were 2's x

aww bless her. go back and try a 2. caleb was 2 and a jhalf but they said because they didnt have the ones we liked in the size he should have had that the 3 would be ok and would last him longer. and hes fine in them x

Half a size too big (though not ideal) prob wont make too much of a dif hun.

Caitlins 1st shoes were a 4G when she was 12.5mths (July/August), she started walking just before 1st bday but I waited a few weeks til she was confident/capable of walking outside for a stretch.

I took her back 6wks later & they hadnt changed either. Went back again in Nov and she measured a 4.5 G, but they let me buy a 5G in patent sandals as I wanted to be sure they would fit at xmas. She walked fine in them & the assistant assured me they werent going to damage her feet.They still fit her now.

Ava will be grand in the size 2.

Don't worry hun, Bethany is nearly 22 months and she has only just moved into 4 and half F. She was 3 and half F from August until the end of December xx

C was a 3.5 for aaaaaaaaaages then suddenly just popped up. Im sure she will be fine hon. Shes got lovely dinky feet, she will be glad of it when shes older. Miss C was only a 2 at 15 or 16 months i think cos her 1st walkers were a 2.5 and she didnt walk til nearly 18 mo and shes now a 4 so shes had a lil spurt on em

there was a little girl at nursery with tyler and her feet were a 4 they were tiny x

thanks for the replies, snoopy clarks won't let me have size 2 until she fits into them, i'm happy for her to be without shoes in the house, its just outside, she always wants to be on her feet now.

They cant refuse. Leave ava in the car with daddy and you go in and purchase a 2. No questions asked. Simplesss x

It was clarks I got Caitlins the half size bigger. I understand they pride themselves on their fitting but thats extreme. Id do what katie says or try another branch.

When Libby started walking at 14 months (confidently I mean, outside etc.) she was only a 2 1/2 so we bought some Adidas trainers in a 3 for her as they were quite small. She had them for a good 8 months before they started getting snug on her and shes still only a 4 1/2 now (almost a year later)

I would do what Katie suggested and just go in and buy them, or you could get them from somewhere like Brantano's where they're not quite so pushy?

i would just buy the 2's too, when i went in to pick ditas 4's up they were a little too big but the assistant said that it wasn't a problem because the straps etc were enough to support her feet properly and there was no way they would just fall off.
So i'm quite suprised that they didnt want you to buy them?

my mum had her in town today so called in clarks and she's a size 2.5 ! i
only got her measured a week and a half ago. bad news is I don't like
any of the shoes but im still happy.

bless her!! clarks can be idiots about shoes, lilly is the opposite she has quite big feet and the are quite wide, even clarks shoes are not quite wide enough for her! she is 2 and a size 7g -h!!

have you tried is is startrite? they have a wider selection than clarks xx

vicki ive just had a look on there and there's some lovely ones, are they good quality?

I haven't read the other posts through so you may have had answers.
According to health visitors and Clarks when I questioned about Lewis' diddly feet at around 14 months - childrens feet stop growing or slow right down over winter months... Lewis is now 11 with adult size 6 feet so its ok they will grow -

ive only had one pair from there and lilly wore them for about 6 months and they lasted well, they had a good amount of rubber sole that went on the toe are so the didnt scuff much xx

Abbie is sill not quite a size 3 and she is older than Ava, so I really wouldn't worry hun. At least she has dinky feet not like her mummy

x

i wud jst buy the size 2 aswell
u may be surprised that come a couple of month her feet suddenly have a growth spurt

evans feet are huge he is currently a size 6f same size as my 3 year old nephew haha he is gonna end up with boats/clown feet poor wee guy

got ollie mesured the other day and he was 4f, but they said the half sizes are only mm differences and said he'd be fine in the 4.5(they were the only ones i liked), she will be fine in a 3 xx

Aw bless her, shes had a little growth spurt then

Hope you can find some shoes that you like for her now xxx

pinky, start rite are good shoes but they do tend to come up 1/2 a size bigger than clarks, however that also means they last longer lol
