PAPER MEASURING GAUGE
STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE
Our paper gauge is perfect for mini explorers who can stand on their own and
the instructions below make measuring their wriggly little feet a doddle, so
please read through them carefully.
As measuring is only a guide it’s important to check the fit of the shoes once
they arrive. Different styles and types of footwear can fit differently to one
another so be sure to take a look at our ‘Easy ways to check the fit’ guide or
watch our video at here.
1. PRINTING THE GAUGE
When printing double check that your printer is set to 100% or ‘do not scale’
to ensure an accurate result. Once printed use a ruler to check the millimetre
markings match up.
2. REMOVE THE WIDTH MEASURE
Cut along the dotted line to the left of the gauge to separate the width tape.
3. PLACE THE CHART ON A HARD FLOOR
You may find it helpful to place the heel line against a wall to make
measuring easier.
4. GETTING STARTED
Ask your child to pop one foot onto the paper gauge and make sure the back of
their heel lines up with the thick line as shown. Double-check they are
standing normally, with their weight on both feet.
5. MEASURING THE LENGTH
Jot down the millimetre measurement from their longest toe – no need to add
any extra as we’ve already calculated growing room into all our shoes. Repeat
for their other foot.
6. USING THE WIDTH TAPE
Wrap the cut-off width tape around the circumference of their foot at the
widest point. The widest point is usually diagonally across from the big toe
joint to the little toe joint. If you run your finger along either side of the
foot, you’ll feel a bump where the joints are.
7. MEASURING THE WIDTH
Pull the tape so it’s snug around the foot and take a note of the millimetre
measurement. Repeat again for their other foot.
8. GETTING YOUR SIZE
Use the ‘Paper Gauge Conversion Chart’ to calculate your child’s shoes size
and order your Start-Rite shoes.
Make sure your printer is set to 100% or do not ‘scale’.
